Lots of different elements from different vendors that have made their way into my crafting supplies (stockpile might be the better term!) have come together to create this charming Christmas card! I like how the iridescent gems repeat the gray/silver hues whereas the green glitter gem dots repeat the green doily accent piece and from the Santa chipboard accent.

  6. My husband loves Christmas in July, almost as much as the real thing! I'm not a fan of either, LOL (opposites definitely attract). I love that vintage Santa w/ the frame around it and the green brads in the corners! Nicely done!
