Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
I can't believe that July 2023 is almost a wrap. The summer months seem to be flying by that's for sure. I have been busy with the harvest from my hubby's veggie garden.
It seems I get the harvest taken care of and then another huge batch comes through. But, it will be wonderful to enjoy the delicious food this coming winter.
I wanted to get some of my Christmas in July cards posted before July is over. I have several of them.
This one I made for the color challenge #952 on Splitcoaststampers. The colors we were to use were daffodil delight, melon mambo, granny apple green and coastal cabana. Optional was to use die cuts or a punch.

I love this color combo and thought I would try making a Christmas card. I wanted to use these new Folk Art dies from CottageCutz and the colors were perfect for the house and trees. So I decided to put them into a snow globe.
I used some older designer paper from the "snowflake splendor" collection for the background and then covered it with vellum for a softer appeal.
For the snow effect inside the snow globe, I used the softly falling embossing folder. I covered the images with a window sheet, but you can't really tell in this photo.
Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.......God bless.
