Showcasing Some Christmas in July Projects

In an effort to try to do some "catch up" blogging, so I will be showing of the things we have made over the summer months. 

We had our annual Christmas in July class to get a jump start on our Christmas projects.  The hit of the class was our center step card made to look like a door to Welcome Christmas into your heart (sentiment retired). 

We had previously made the center step card at one of our Funky Folds classes and had the chance to add a Christmas flare to it.
