Christmas in July in Zoe's Stampin' Craft Loft

I love Christmas and as a Stampin' Up! demo I should really be in control of my cards and decor in that I'm ready for second class posting of cards, decorations up in early December and gifts and treats wrapped beautifully and a gift in themselves just because of the gorgeous wrapping! Oh how I wish...... Reality rolls in and even though I promise myself I'll be ready this year it always seems to be last minute.com in this house!

But I've started as usual with resolve to achieve it and held my annual Christmas in July class last Saturday.  We had such a fun time making cards, gift bags and these two super projects; a festive plaque to adorn your home and a box card the dimensions of which were taught to me by my lovely downline Linda.  The box card works well with any stamp set you may choose and can be decorated simply or ornately.  For the class we went for simple elegance and everyone agreed that it was enough in amongst the busy day of other projects.
