Let's Prance For JAI #761

Happy Friday and welcome!! Thankfully it is now almost the end of July and Winter is at least 2/3 of the way over - Spring is coming! It is wonderful to see the sun rising a little earlier and setting later. And here in Melbourne, the Wattle is now flowering - which signals the start of allergy season. Hopefully, we'll see the temperature rising a little soon too!

This week at Just Add Ink we have a fun challenge for you from Kerry. She has given us a Christmas in July theme to create with. The design team have all created fun and gorgeous projects to hopefully inspire you so we hope that you might be able to join us by popping over to the JAI blog and using the Linky to enter.

Christmas in July isn't something I have much experience of except for one dinner 25 years ago when I first arrived in Australia.  The other dinner guests introduced me to the "Not Happy Jan!" TV ads that were new and very popular at the time. Such a classic series of ads that have become a part of our everyday speech - especially for those of us called Jan! 😅

For my card, I looked through my past Bits and Pieces container for Christmas ideas and found the blue coloured reindeer. Instantly, I knew a pink one was needed and then came the aqua....next was the background and this card was well on it's way.

To bring it all together, and create the snowy hills, I used a retired die set called Home for Christmas. The final little touch - the Silver Glimmer Christmas tree - is actually from a pine branch from last year's Joy of Noel bundle. 

So delving into my Bits and Pieces container soon had me pulling out all sorts of Christmas sets to complete this fun card!
I hope that you are soon going through your Christmas sets, new and old and look forward to you joining us for this fun challenge at Just Add Ink this week.

'Til next week,

Jan
