Challenge #21 - Christmas In July

Hello All and welcome to a new challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox.

As I am sure you are all aware, here in Australia Christmas falls in the middle of Summer. When temperatures are sweltering it means the idea of a traditional Christmas feast is just too hard to contemplate. Unless you are prepared to travel, dreaming of a white Christmas is an exercise in futility! So many Aussies also celebrate Christmas in July, when the weather is at its coldest. Here we can bundle up in our winter woolies, eat a traditional Christmas roast, snuggle up by the fire and see how those in the Northern Hemisphere enjoy their Christmas.

So of course given today is the first day of July, it's only fitting our theme for this challenge be

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Our challenge this fortnight is sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop and they are offering our lucky winner digi images from their store.

I am also excited to welcome two new members to our furry family - Vanesssa and Mags B are making their debut in this challenge. Thank you to everyone who applied to be part of our DT, we were thrilled you wanted to join us, unfortunately we just didn't have space to take you all.

Here is what our team came up with:

Vanessa (using sponsor image)



Mags B (using sponsor image)


Lisabee (using sponsor image)


Hilde (using sponsor image)


Jacqui


Helen (using sponsor image)



Linda (using sponsor image)


and me (Tracey)

I know many of you out there are super efficient and have already started your Christmas cards - but if you haven't, here's the perfect excuse to get cracking.

I hope you'll join us!
