Hi OCS Fans;

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend with family and friends.  Now that school is out for the children, summer is in full swing.  As we are halfway through the year, and before we know it Christmas will be here.  To get a start on the Christmas cards, OCS‘ challenge this month is “Christmas in July“.

For my post today, I have used an older High Hopes Rubber Stamp called “Christmas Joy Snowy“.  After cutting the image, I added glitter around the edge and some Faux Snow at the bottom.  The background and snowflakes were foiled using the Heidi Swapp Foil Applicator and holographic reactive foil.
