Happy Sunday to you! Thank you for taking part in this months Clearly Digi Stamps monthly blog hop! If you've already started hopping you should have come from Jennifer's blog, if not you'll want to start back at the CDS Challenge Blog. The theme this month is "Clean and Simple", I never realized how hard it is to make something "simple" :). However I tried and this is what I came up with:
Okay, I promised myself I'd get started on some Christmas cards in July, I actually try to do this every year and because this awesome set of images has this awesome pre-colored holly swags I decided to try them and now I can say I successfully started on Christmas cards in July, so nice! For my clean and simple card I rotated the swag so that I could place one on the bottom and just cut and pasted them in Word so that I can print them, I cut the image out using Spellbinders Labels One and layered it on red using the Spellbinders Decorative Labels One, I embossed the green using a holly embossing folder from Sizzix and last I cut out the holly in the corner with a Martha Stewart punch and an ordinary small hole punch for the berries. Pretty simple.
Okay you could win your very own set called Seasonal Swags (see below) by just leaving me a comment. One random winner will be pulled and the winner will be announced on Thursday 7/25, so be sure to leave me your e-mail address so you can be contacted with the good news! Good Luck!
From here your off to Dee's Blog, happy hopping!

Hi Sweetie. Just wanted to say that it is great seeing you get a head start on your Christmas cards. I need to do that as well. Your card is wonderful today with it's traditional colours.
