Christmas in July with Exploring Cricut

Hello Crafty Friends and Cricut Enthusiast,

Today is a special day at Exploring Cricut. Not only is it challenge day, but we are having a Christmas in July hop. Lots of holiday projects with prizes along the way.

You should have arrived from Diana's blog. If not, that is okay. You can either go back to the beginning or just hop along. The line-up is posted at the bottom for quick reference.

Here is my Exploring Cricut project...
I always think of Santa when I think of Christmas and how else does Santa travel around with all those presents. He needs a sleigh. I know, I know...these are not the typical holiday colors, but they sure do look good together and it is all about Winter Fun. : )
 Materials:
DCWV paper ~ Winter Stack
grey and white card stock
Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge ~ sleigh (p. 53) cut 1 3/4"
green with silver trim ribbon
dark blue gems
computer generated sentiment

Challenges:

Here are some holiday goodies for one lucky person. I will also be adding some festive stick pins. These are some of the ones I have made in the past.
Please leave a comment and a way to get in touch with you (either your blog's name or e-mail address). You must be a follower to be eligible to win. The winner will be announced Saturday, July 21st.
  
Here is the Exploring Cricut line-up...

Now head over to Diane's blog to see what she created.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana
