Stampin' Dreams - Christmas in July





Time for another Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop!  Our theme this month is Christmas in July.  For my card, I've used the Stampin' Up!® Storybook Gnomes from the catalogue.  I've been having so much fun playing with this adorable suite!  Check out this pretty Z fold card I made in Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake!


Aren't these gnomes adorable!
