Merry Christmas in August! CCAYR

I'm glad August has 31 days. I really wanted to make cards for CCAYR (Christmas Cards All Year Round) this month. The challenge seemed really fun. Pick 4 items out of a list the ladies provided. Well the month of August has flown right on by and I realized tonight as I was washing the dinner dishes, I only had 2 days left to create and post. Tomorrow I'm busy, so I'm down to one day. I really wanted to straighten up the house a bit. Holiday weekend coming up. School starts next week. Our dryer broke, so I'm sure there will be a trip to the laundry mat this week (ewww....)  I looked over the list, wrote down the items that I might use and off I went. I sat at my desk for 20 minutes completely dumbfounded. Being over confident I thought it would be a breeze... My creative energy started flowing and these are the cards I came up with. I'm not exactly thrilled with them, but they'll do.
Please let me know you stopped by. I love reading comments. I have 10 followers and would love to have more. (hint-hint)  Have a great night!
