My mom was inspired by the Inky Paws Color Challenge, the Double Trouble Challenge, the Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge, and all of the super fun Christmas in July Crafty Challenges! Links to all of the challenges she is joining are at the end of this post, check them out and join in the fun! She combined the color challenge with Christmas and got this super fun Christmas Card.
