I'm loving all the Christmas in July festivities going on! I really wish I could have participated in some of them...especially the Bugaboo one. That one is always jam-packed full of fun activities! Oh well, maybe next year.
In the meantime, how about a Christmas card?
Here's another pre-colored version of Emma the Caroler, from Fred, She Said. I did do a bit of sponging around the image on this one. Super simple layout so that Tracey's beautiful image is in the spotlight. IRL, her dress is all kinds of shimmery, thanks to the always camera-shy Wink of Stella. Sentiment from Signature Christmas from Papertrey Ink.
