But I guess that doesn't mean I can't make a Christmas card a bit earlier than usual, especially since this week's challenge over at ATS is Christmas in July. At first I was having a hard time getting into the spirit of things and I chose Snowflake Fairy Neva so that I wouldn't be tied to having to use traditional Christmas colors. My original plan was to do a green, white and blue/silver color palette that I was going to build around this AC tree paper that is actually part of their summer/camping line. Though when I started going through my Christmas papers this sheet of Girl's Paperie red snowflakes and ledger totally won me over. I shouldn't have been surprised, considering that was my absolute fave Christmas line from last season's releases (still SO sad they are no more...). So I embraced the red and green instead of fighting it and went to town.
I still can't say that this makes me want to start making a bunch of Christmas cards but I did enjoy the little break from my summer colors and papers and Neva is always a joy to spend some time with. :)

We were definitely channeling each other when we did this week's challenge - same stamp, same paper! Neva is gorgeous with the liquid pearls - gorgeous! I'm sad to see TGP gone too.
Amy this is just adorable! I love how you have made her snowflake stand out. Great idea. We never did get our thunderstorm yesterday and today is looking so pretty and sunny this morning. Have a great humpday. Hugs, Lisa
The liquid pearl snowflake ...wow! She's a stunner!! Love the brads too! And that tree PP IS perfect for Christmas! Which reminds me to get started on my Xmas cards (so not in the mood though!).

This is beautiful!! I have this stamp but haven't inked it up yet... this would be a good excuse to do so, eh? :)
Wow! So beautiful! I love how you've used liquid pearl.
Love the dimension on the pearly snowflake and your favorite patterned papers--so Christmasy cute!
Gorgeous, Amy! I love the skirt, I've got Neva as a digi and wouldn't have thought to use liquid pearls (I would have considered it an embossing option with a rubber stamp, and I don't "do" rubber!) Hope it's okay if I "borrow" the idea...Dee
wow this is gorgeous!!! I love how you have gone over the image with your liquid pearls!!! Hugs Juls
WOW this is stunning! Love the papers and design and the image. Beautiful layout. Love the use of liquid pearls too
