Friday Inspiration Photo Challenge

Yes, I know it's not Friday, but I needed to get the card on the OWH blog today.


I am using this card in my OWH Mid-Week Throwdown Challenge - Christmas in July.  Yup...some people celebrate on the coast and in tropical climates..so this just might be "the" card for that person to send home.       


Melanie, at Scrappily Ever After, has given us this colorful lights photo to challenge and inspire us and others to create a card.  One must plan early if going to participate in OWH (Operation Write Home).   Being a lover of the SC coast, I chose this adorable crab to create my card.  The crab was a free svg from Svgcuts.  I created the lights and santa hat svgs....those will be my freebies for today.  I used the snowflakes embossing folder, puff paint for the hat ball, pop-up dots for dimension, inking and some gold wire.

( Will post Santa hat later today...sorry)

ENJOY!!! Stay COOL!!!

    Saw your card on the OWH blog & wanted to see it up close. It's adorable! My sister lives in NC, so it will be a great idea for her Christmas card this year. Thanks for the lights!

    lol, I love your Christmas card! I live in Arizona so I can relate to the somewhat tropical climates and Christmas. I haven't seen snow since 1988. Thanks for playing along with us this week at Operation Write Home!

    The crab is so cute and I love that it's holding the lights in its claws.

    You're so creative. I had a hard time coming up with something for my lights theme.

    I saw these little crabs on a NC beach once. They were hard to see. My husband always noticed them, but they were in their holes by the time I looked. Really cute!
