Christmas in July

Christmas in July at Cards for Men ... hard to believe Christmas is 6 months away! 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Meljens Designs and the winner will receive 4 digis of their choice!




Say hi to Gruffy Little Gnome by Meljen's Designs. I colored this grumpy little guy with my Copic markers and used distressed ink pad to color the wooden snowflakes.  I haven't used banners in a while so I pulled them out and love how they look with the grey and white bakers twine.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Make sure to check out the fab creations from the Cards for Men design team then start your Christmas in July!
