Inspiration Wednesday -- Christmas in July!

It's Christmas in July over at the La La Land Crafts blog this week! This week's Inspiration challenge is to create a Christmas project. It was fun to bust out with the Christmas papers and dies for this challenge when its triple-digit heat outside! LOL!

And this is my Christmas project for July... a bendi fold card, with inspiration from Splitcoaststampers.com's tutorial website. I just changed up the dimensions for my card. Instead of an A2 card, this one is 6x6. :-)

Here are some photos:

Summer Mason Jars to decorate your party table!

Hey there friends!

For today's post, I want to share these fun, simple mason jars that I decorated. Something unique, festive and inexpensive for your summer time party or BBQ!

These are quite simple to make. Grab a dozen (or more) of the mason jars on Amazon.com for a great deal, get your hands on some Graphic 45 By the Sea papers... some paper straws, buttons and adhesive from your stash, some creativity and you're all set! 

 Here are some photos of the mason jars I decorated. At the end I will share a video tutorial showing you how to create the cute paper umbrellas, so don't go away too fast! ♥

Be sure to check out my video tutorial, showing you how to create these festive summer mason jars and adorable paper umbrellas!

Have a blast creating and thanks for stopping by today!
