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.

Paul, I can see why you like using this Santa, he's perect! You inspired m to get my PTI mat stack stamps and dies out to play. I have all of the except the stamps for MS3, so I ordered it with my July release order. Not sure why I don't already have it.

Love the Snowman! He is adorable!
As always Paul your creations never cease to amaze me! Love the distressed embossing and gorgeous shading on him.
Great card Paul. Fun colors and great coloring love the style of the card.
Paul, you're in danger of making me take a second look at a collection that I normally wouldn't have. You did it with Rudolph, and now you're going to do it with Stocking Santa. You have the most uncanny ability to unlock the potential of Bugaboo Stamps' images, and as always I thin you work is simply beyond compare. :D MWAH!. PS. "Tonnes" is spelled "tons". . .;)
Oh! I LOVE this image. And you rocked it.
Awesome job on the card Paul! Thanks for helping us Celebrate the Occasion
What a cute santa...Thankyou for joining us at Digistamps4joy..And good luck.
