This is for QFTD172 and F4A177. Our F4A challenge this week was to create a Christmas in July card using summer colors. I chose to play with pink and spring moss green. Our QFTD challenge was to pick one of our past queens to case and I chose Bridget aka bfinlay. There are so many wonderful creations in Bridget's gallery that I had a hard time choosing. I loved her "A Friend's House" card found here: FS333 A Friend's House by bfinlay at Splitcoaststampers Bridget's card is so precious with her tiny house and tree scene all done in different designer papers and bright colors. It is one of my all time favorite die cut scenes ever!!!!!! I was inspired to make my Christmas in July card using the house and tree theme and change it to a winter scene.

That is so cute. I especially LOVE that little fence with the sprays on it!! Love how you crimped all the trees and snow covered ground too. Great card!! It was hard trying to do Christmas in SUMMER colors wasn't it? I just flopped around like a fish on dry ground!! Love your card, your little scene!! You are just soooo good with paper!
