CRAFTmas in July - Day Twenty-Four - Christmas Rainbow

So it's been so hot for days.  We had like seven consecutive days in the 90s and it's just been miserable.  Today it rained, but somehow that made things hotter. I'm not even kidding.

Enough about the weather.  The summer isn't exactly conducive to Christmas cardmaking, but I do like making the Christmas cards and watching the Christmas movies.  I bought this stamp & die set from Simon Says Stamp and I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.  I'm not entirely happy with the colors I chose, but I think it turned out okay.

I had sooooo much fun making these cards with this month's BYSHC sketch!

I don't think I can pick a favorite, they're both really cute and jolly!
