Crafty Gals ~ Christmas in July ~ CAS

It is the 5^th of the month, so I am back with the another challenge of the Crafty Gals!  We are a group of bloggers who have monthly challenges, caring comments & fun chit chat on SCS—our favorite stamping site to visit.

This month, the challenge was posted by Patty.  Here are the details of her challenge:
"Christmas in July!"
It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas so let's get an early start to your holiday cards with this month's Crafty Gal's blog challenge. And since clean and simple cards are my very favorite your challenge this month is to make a clean and simple Christmas or Holiday card. I can't wait to see all of your holiday cards!

First--since the temps have been in the high 90's and we hit 100 yesterday--first time in 17 years--it seems a bit odd to be making Christmas Cards!  But, I did it.  Clean and simple cards are a challenge for me anyway—now add that to a CAS card that I need to post on my blog—yikes!  But, I saw this stamp and knew it would be a good image for this challenge.  I think the card turned out well.
