Christmas in July?!

I'm gonna shake things up a bit today

and post a Christmas card!

It's never too early to get started on making Xmas cards.

Before I know it, December is here and I'm buying ready made cards

from Target to ashamedly send out to everyone.

Been there.

So there is a really awesome challenge blog called,

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long. 

Every week is a new Christmas themed challenge that helps

keep you inspired to make all those holiday cards.

This week the challenge is "Heavy Metal" and the sponsor

is Kenny K Downloads. 

Now with a challenge like Heavy Metal, I figured it would

be a breeze! I grew up on the metal music scene, but once

I started digging for metal Christmas embellishments, I started

to worry. I found some things to work with though.

I pulled it all together and made this really cute card! 

The image is from Tiddly Inks. Too cute.

I made her fur on her outfit all sparkly with glitter.

These metal snowflake charms were all I could

manage to find as far as metal embellishments.

The centers of each one were a blue pattern that didn't

match, so I added a pile of Stickles to cover the offending,

mismatched centers. Voila!

There is still a little time to make the current challenge

at CSAYL. Kenny K images are up for grabs!
