Blue Christmas

Hi friends.  More Christmas in July today. :)  The digi image I used on this card is from Paper Cupcakes.  I'm not sure who makes the little sentiment stamp.  The hat is trimmed with some faux flower soft and I used Stickles on the ice.  The rest is just bits and pieces from my stash.
I'm entering these challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #36 - Encouraging or Uplifting Sentiment.

Stampin' Sisters in Christ #148 - Sparkle

2 Sisters #100 - Christmas in July

52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown - July Color Challenge

Catch the Bug Saturday Challenge - Christmas Cards for Kids.

Send A Smile 4 Kids - Christmas in July

Blessings
  • My sweet, little dog snuggled up next to me.
  • A great sale on some otc medications we neeeded. 
  • I thank God for a husband who not only does the shopping, due to my health problems, but also searches to find excellent buys. 
  • Mark bought a used flip side belgian waffle maker this weekend.  We had delicious, belgian waffles for supper tonight.
  • Extra time with my sweetheart this afternoon. My favorite way to spend a day.
Have a marvelous day!!!

Blessings and hugs!
Shelly

Hi Shelly! This is just adorable. It makes me think of my son, Andrew. He LOVES going ice skating, and begs Dad to take him every weekend. We live in Las Vegas, but there is an indoor ice rink at a local casino. So, Andrew is my little penguin skater. LOL This is just adorabkle, and I thank you for sharing it in the challenge this week at Word Art Wednesday. I greatly appreciate your participation and hope you have a very blessed week.
