Forget the past with presents

Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and the theme is Photo Inspiration. For my card, I used Candy Cane Penguin and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  We are getting snow as I am posting this so this is a fitting card for this time of year.

Christmas in July - Be naughty

Already on Day 5, but more than that, it's July 25th and it's my 50th Birthday! besides being the Humor Me day for the Catch the Bug 7th Annual Christmas Challenge.  So for my card, I used the Gus Christmas - Be Naughty image and sentiment.  I put Glossy Accents on his glasses and a pom on his hat.  I put some present stickers on the card.
I was so lucky to have my daughter and friends throw a birthday party for me this past weekend. And a wonderful DT friend Faith, sent me some beautiful Welsh presents that are incredible.
