It's that time again....another duel with the Dueling Darlings......the Divas and Dazzlers! Our cute little Snoopy and all the Christmas came from Kelly (MiamiKel4). Kelly and Jeanette (Forest Ranger) came up with this theme of Christmas in July. Or as Kelly said...."Whimsical Christmas in July".
With it being in the upper 90's and the heat index feel like 100*+ here in Texas.....It was nice to think about Christmas cards to cool off!
Besides the card....our second part of the challenge was...."What is the first thing you do each year to get in the Christmas Spirit?" Well, the first thing I do besides addressing the envelopes for Christmas cards....I hang a white ribbon across the door frame from the kitchen into the dining room. It hangs down either side of the extra wide door frame. Then each time I get Christmas cards in the mail....I hang each card on the ribbon with a small clothes pin. It's fun to see who we hear from and it's instant Christmas decorations in the kitchen! I keep the envelopes separate and reference my Christmas Card box (plastic recipe box) to make sure I have the right addresses.
So....hopefully, I can get more Christmas cards made while it's toasty outside!!!
Thanks for popping in!

Oh, this is wonderful! I have fond memories of watching the Peanuts movie last Christmas with my boys . Great papers, fabulous colours that you've matched with the lights on the doghouse. I really like what you did with the buttons - I always feel a bit odd leaving buttons "naked" but never know what to do with them!

What a great card layout Suzy. I love the tag on the front and the buttons as well. I love the ribbon treatment as well. Great use of the kit. So glad we are duelers together. I'm so glad you joined us.

Suzy, your card is adorable! Love the tilt to the image and the many layers. I did giggle a bit that you address the envelopes first/early in the process. I would probably procrastinate. ;)
Such cute card with an adorable immie colored to perfection. Love how you incorporated your layers of dps , ogether, they make the main image pop. Great duel result!
