Christmas in July Pretties Wednesday

I just couldn't help myself! I have been seeing so many Christmas in July creations and I was starting to feel left out! So, when Danielle challenged the Pretties Girls to use something around your house to make a background I got a wonderful idea...What if I made a Christmas Fund jar! Every November I freak out when I realize that Christmas is coming and we have no money saved. This will NOT happen this year and that is thanks to this little jar. I LOVED that I could use my Snowflake Kisses set again!!!
The rest of the jar looked a little plain so I used this super sweet sentiment from the Snowflake Kisses set to add a little something. I think I went a little too crazy on the ribbon but what's done is done. I am just experimenting and playing...that is art right? :)

Be sure to check out the rest of the Pretties Girls recycled creations...



BTW, thank you to everyone who took the time to comment about my rant on Monday. I have been feeling like stamping is forced and I am trying to figure out how to find my joy again. I guess everyone goes through this some time or another. Thanks for sticking with me as I figure out my way on this crazy journey. :)

and a huge Congratulations!!!! t0 Charmaine and the Ikach family in welcoming their newest member, beautiful Isabelle to the world. You can say your congratulations as well HERE.
