Christmas In July

Last year I was a bit unprepared for the craziness that running holiday workshops creates! I promised myself that this year I would appear to be a seasoned demonstrator! So to jumpstart the holiday spirit this month in class we are doing all Christmas cards. I love coming up with holiday themed cards and always have more Christmas ideas than I really need, so this was a great way to use my "extra" ideas and sets.
