Ok, bear with me for just one post here.
Pretend it's mid-December and it's 40 degrees instead of 90.
There are Christmas carols on the radio instead of the Beach Boys.
And there's brown, dead snow-grass instead of brown, dead drought-grass.
(I probably lost you with that last one, didn't I...)
Ok, ok... the point is that for JUST ONE DAY, we're going to "play" as if we were in the midst of the holiday season instead of the Summer. Then we'll wrap it up (no pun intended) and tomorrow we'll be back to Summer-stuff again. Capiche?
So, without further adieu... MERRY CHRISTMAS IN JULY! We're celebrating two ways... first, with a series of projects from DT Member Janet Zeppa!

We're also celebrating "Christmas in July" in stores with our ONE DAY ONLY Red & Green Sale which lasts all day today--open to close--while supplies last!

So... I'll make you a promise and let you know that this is the LAST Christmas-related post we'll do here on the blog until September when holiday product is fully stocked in stores and card-makers and crafters alike are knee-deep in their holiday projects! Sad to say, it'll be here before we know it!
Feliz Navidad!

I am in LOVE with the Festive collection!!!
You all NEED it I tell ya!!
