Christmas in July

I've seen so many wonderful holiday cards lately on Christmas in July blog posts.

They have really inspired me to get started early on my holiday cards.

  I love this happy snowman holding his little birdie friend.

For my layout, I used a style called a Center Step Card.

I paper pieced the hat, scarf and buttons.

Then added a computer printed saying and some punched snowflakes.
