BYSHcardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party

Hi Crafty Friends,
Woohoo!  It's time for another Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers' Linky Party.
This is your chance to link up your holiday cards to the BYSHcardmakers blog and be in the drawings for some great prizes provided by our many wonderful sponsors.  We also invite you to share your creations in our Facebook group.
Here's my first design team project for the Linky Party.

This is an A6 Gatefold card using patterned papers for Echo Park's A Perfect Christmas. I also used dies from one of our sponsors, Gina K Designs.  The branches are from another sponsor, Jaded Blossom's Poinsettia die and the letters are from Pinkfresh Studio Jody Uppercase Alpha set.

I hope you'll play along all during the Linky Party week.  You may enter as often as you'd like.

All American!
