A Dragon Christmas~

While Friday is here! Hope all of you have some fun plans for the weekend. I know it is still summer, but I'm really in a Christmas kind of mood. Never can start too early with those Winter cards.
Today, I'm want to share my card for the IDIC challenge: fancy folds. At first, I was thinking of doing an easel card or little more difficult card. But in the end, I did a tri-fold one. Started running out of time (was busy playing with the boys). Also this week's challenge is sponsored by Stamping Dragon (such cute images). So hope to see you join in on the fun!!!

Other challenges:
SD: not your norm (don't do different fold cards, and image is also outside of the nestie box)
Stamptacular: Christmas in July
Rosie Dee's Challenge: creatures great and small
and
Digital Tuesday: dazzle me

Supplies~
Stamps: Christmas Dragon (Stamping Dragon)
Cardstock/Ink: designer paper (Icy Digi Papers: Toucan Scraps), white, red, and copics

Playing in the Snow~

Happy Sunday everyone~
If you read my post on Friday, I was planning on showing at least one more project later on in the day. Well, things happen, sorry about that. After cleaning my house I got in the mood to move some furniture around. I get this way ever couple of months. While I don't do anything major, it is just enough to know that I moved things around. Sadly only organizing my house gets me out of these moods, and not crafting.
Now onto my card for today!
It is time for my dt card for PIO. This week's sponsor is Bella Digi Studio. A couple of weeks back I came across their images, and was thinking of adding some to my collection of digital stamps.

Challenges used:
PIO: banner
Shabby Tea Room: Christmas in July
Christmas cards all year 'round: anything goes
Stampavie: anything goes
Stamp Something: something digital
and
S2G challenges: wet (I know it isn't summer with water, but hope it counts since snow gets things wet after playing in it)
