My Cricut Craft Room's Christmas in July Blog Hop

Welcome to Erica's My Cricut Craft Room's Christmas in July blog hop!
 You should have come from Laurie's Blog If not please go to  Erica's Cricut Craft Room Blog to start from the beginning....

I love Christmas!  Love everything about it! So I was super excited to sign up to be part of this awesome blog hop.  Who doesn't love Christmas in July!  Especially when it has been so hot this month. It's nice to at least think of cool weather!

For my project I designed a Santa on Christmas morning layout! 

 

Sorry my pictures aren't that great.  I haven't figured out the best way to photograph my layouts yet!

I decided to create my layout as Santa and his elf bringing presents around the tree and stockings! I used quite a few cartridges in this layout:

- Jolly Holidays

- Winter Frolic

- Christmas Cheer

- Joys of the Season

- Christmas

All of the paper was just from my stash in my craft room.  I've been trying to not buy any more paper till I use up the ton of paper I have already.  Instead I just seem to keep on buying new cartridges!!!

I use my Gypsy for all of my designing, so my sizes are little different then if just using your machines alone.

'Merry Christmas' is from the "Jolly Holiday" cartridge.  I cut it at  2.38 inches.

Also from this cart I cut the little elf pulling the cart!  Isn't he adorable! 

 I used my gypsy to hide his face to then use some Peachy Keen stamps face set!  I love those faces!!!
I cut the elf at  2.54 inches

The Santa from above is from the "Winter Frolic" cart.  He was cut with all layers at 4.38 inches.  I also used the gypsy flip function so he would face toward the tree!

The Christmas tree was from the  "Christmas" cart

I cut it at 7 inches.

The ornaments on the tree are from "Christmas Cheer" and "Winter Frolic" and range from 1 - 1.5 inches.

The presents are from "Christmas Cheer" and "Winter Frolic" cart and are cut between 1.15 - 1.5 inches each.

the fireplace is cut from the "Joys of the Season" cart and is 4 inches tall!

The stockings with presents are from "Winter Frolic" and are 1.77 inches.

I hope you enjoyed my layout for this Christmas in July blog hop!  I am so excited to be able to participate in this hop and share my designs with you!
