Ready to HOP???

Yes indeed. It's time for a blog hop at Catch The Bug, the Bugaboo challenge blog. If you have started on the hop then you would have arrived here from MELISSA's blog. If you have just randonmly landed here then head over to Catch the Bug so that you can start at the beginning. Believe you me, you don't want to miss any of the projects on show.

Here's my CHRISTMAS IN JULY card for you:

I've really fallen for this stocking santa lately and I think he'll appear on my Christmas cards quite often this year. If you like him as much as I do, then make sure you comment on this post as I will be choosing one person from all those who write to give the image too.

There's lots going on this week so make sure you go over to Catch The Bug for all the details. There's the usual Saturday Challenge as well as mini challenges all week long. It's a big Christmas celebration in the sun. There's tonnes of chances to win images and prizes. The sentiment is stamped using distress ink to tie it in with the inking and is from my fave christmas sentiments set from Papertrey.

Now it's time for you to hop on and go to visit Laurie.
