Christmas in July

Good morning all!

Phew, it is hot out there! Hot in here too, at work it's almost unbearable sometimes but I can't take any holidays yet so I need to soldier on for a bit longer ;) It's funny with this hot weather that our theme this time @ Fab 'n Funky is 'Christmas in July'! Have you started your Christmas cards yet? I started in January to be honest, so that I can mix Christmas projects with other types of craft. That way I don't get bored with Christmas Trees, Tinsel and Baubles :) We are sponsored by My Creative Craftroom and Dilly Beans, the latter providing us with some great images to use in our DT inspiration projects. I really like the style of these images; not too neatly drawn, just like in life ;)

Materials:
* Dilly Beans Amalia's Christmas Lights, coloured with Promarkers & Spectrum Noirs
* Dovecraft T'Is the Season DP
* Co'ordinations Retro Mod Squad CS
* Afternoon Tea Candi
* Eline's Winterhuis Sentiment stamp
* Peel off corners from stash

It would be great if you can join us with your Crimbo projects, I'm very curious to see what you can come up with.

Challenges:
* The Squirrel & The Fox (Christmas in July)
* Crafty Hazelnut (Christmas Card Suitable for a Child)
* Card Mania (Christmas in July)
* Simply Create Too (Christmas in July)
* Dutch Card Lovers (Christmas in July)
* Always Something Creative (Christmas)
* Shelly's Images (Christmas in July)
* Stamp & Create (Christmas in July)

Use Your Faves

Hi everyone!

Another Wednesday, another Fab 'n Funky Challenge. This week our theme is "Use Your Favourites", so we're basically asking you to use the products or techniques you use anyway and inspire us to try it out too.
