Essentials by Ellen Christmas in July Hop

I may have mentioned I'd be back with even more Christmas in July holiday cards, right?  Today I'm hopping with the Ellen Hutson Design Ambassadors and we're hoping you'll join us as we stock up on our holiday card stash!  The Notable Nest's Kelly Griglione once again put plenty of pressure on me to perform - thanks, Kelly!! 

As with most Hops, there will be a prize for one random & lucky commenter just by hopping along and leaving a comment at every stop... we appreciate that you'll share your time with us!  We've got a super fun prize: $25 to the EH shop!  Comment before Wednesday, July 31st at 11:59pm PST. Winners will be notified by email.  [if you are a no-reply commenter be sure to check back at the EH blog for the winner announcement!]

Okay!  I have two cards for you today... I had too much fun using two non-Christmas sets in very Merry ways!!  First up?  That Leading Gentleman - there's no doubt he's dressed and ready for decorating - and doesn't mind playing Santa in his spare time!

of course I had to put my spin on the inside!

[See how I Copic colored the clear bulb he's holding!]

 

Next are three of the Good Egg gals … who are tuning up for caroling!!  But, of course, they are French Hens - don't believe me?  I Googled French Hen!!

 



 

My own me, me, mes… and another sentiment from me on the inside! 

The 'baton' is the straw from Life is a Picnic!! he hee!

Here are the Copics I used... 

Pretty fun, huh?  As if there wasn't enough pressure from Ms. Kelly... it's Sandy Allnock up next - now you know Sandy will knock our socks off, right?!
