Hey there! Welcome to another edition of "Scrappin' Our Stash"! You ought to arrived here from Sandy's blog. Should you have come via another route, be sure to start at the beginning and work your way back here. The whole list is a bit further down in the post.
Today I have a Christmas in July layout to share with you! 6 months from today is Christmas eve! Can you believe it?!
I used the "Home for Christmas" collection from Pebbles for this layout along with a few other goodies. But the bulk of the content is "Home for Christmas". Just love me my Pebbles collections!
The die cuts or "Chips" are so adorable! And just perfect for this moment between Granny and granddaughter. Every year that we are together for Christmas, it is tradition for my Mum to assemble and decorate the gingerbread house(s) with the kids. Nikolas has deemed himself too old for such a thing so just Mia participated. She didn't mind as it meant more alone time with Granny and less fighting over which sweeties she would have to decorate with!
American Crafts foam dots are behind the top candy cane to add some dimension to this duo.
While I absolutely LOVE the candy candy stripped Thickers that accompany this collection, they were a bit big for the space I had remaining for a title. I opted for some very stash busting Sassafrass Lass green letter stickers and some equal stash busting Cosmo Cricket. They are smaller and fit better.
Here's this month's line up;
Suzanna Lee <---- You are HERE!!
And because it's Christmas in July and there are always presents for July, I have a little something this month to give away. I have a complete set of the latest Imaginisce collection, Heartland Farms, for one lucky winner!

What a super fun collection and perfect for these photos! I love traditions like this and that you've got this memory scrapped now!
Thanks so much for sharing!
I have been busy with some Christmas in July cards using some older paper collections that I'll be sending off for the last time to Operation Write Home along with some cards made from the other card kits I've been saving that need to be used.

I "like" you on FB. Don't do Instagram.
Spend enough time on FB - don't have time for another site.
thanks
I love you layout. The gingerbread is a cute idea.
thanks for sharing.

I don't keep kits together. I break them up by type (paper, flair, etc) When I'm making a card I start rooting through the different elements to see what fits with the idea that I have in my head. This is easier for me and seems to take up a lot less room in storage too.
thanks for the offer of a great prize.

I used up papers from my
craft stash so that my
family (7 of us) could
make birthday albums to
put cards in for each
month! Used up Project
Life 3x4 an 4x6 cards
also.
