CIJ Day 3 at CTB Christmas Blessings Drummer Gift Bag

Today it's Day 3 at Catch the Bug Christmas in July celebration and the theme is Anything but a Card. For my project I actually used the Cheerful Sketch for the month on a gift bag using Deacon Drummer and the sentiment is a retired stamp from Verve. For July I kept with a Red, White and Blue theme for this project.

This was Julie's last project on 5/4. That day she posted how excited she was to be

scheduling her surgery. She was so positive and determined.

Santa Claus is coming to town

Well we are moving along on the 9th Annual Christmas in July at Catch the Bug.  Today is Day 3 and it's Anything but a Card and the theme is the movie "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Which was a favorite when I was a child and when my kids were little.  For my project I pulled a gift bag out of my stash and added the image of Kidz Christmas Boy and his dog and I added a sentiment from TLC, Create to also go with the theme.  Remember that any Christmas images are 50% off if you use the code CIJ50.
