Christmas In July Day 13 with Crafter's Companion

 Hi there friends! Today is Day 13 in Christmas in July. 

 

Yes, I skipped Days 11 and 12. It is the first time I skipped. I keep things real as I don't like to be flaky about things. I actually made this card, just didn't write it up. I grow a massive garden that sometimes needs priority over other things and it is harvest week for onions, garlic and finishing up the raspberries. I preserve my whole garden unless something is eaten right away. I grow about 100 onions and 400+ garlic plants so it takes me a bit to get this set to cure. I also do not get along with the summer heat and humidity at all. I get sick to my stomach, headaches -- it's a whole thing and worst of it is that I am actually an outdoor person and want to be outside! My body just hates it and I have to listen to what it says. I typically do my gardening in the last 1-2 hours before sunset if it is too hot earlier in the day. Even then it can be challenging but the sun is calming down that can help. So many people tell me I fill my days with so much, and I do, but I also have days that I need to stop and just be or at least just be a little less. I hope that makes sense.

Back to card making...

Another easy card.-- I colored the penguin stamp with alcohol markers. I framed it with a rick rack frame. I used a sentiment that came with the stamp and added candy canes as an embellishment.
