WHAT TO DO WHEN IT IS JUST A FEW DEGREES TOO HOT!!

Afternoon everyone. What do you do when it is just a couple of degrees too hot!! Shut yourself in a cool room (if you can find one), get out your Christmas craft stash (a present from my mum for cat sitting) and start making Christmas cards in the hope that it makes you feel a little less hot and bothered. So here is my first Christmas card of this year and yep I'm still boiling.......

Paper – Papermania Capsule Collection ~ Spots and Stripes

Reindeer ~ created from Creative Dies “Cute Creatures Die”, Marianne Creatable & MFT

Sentiment ~ Clearly Besotted ~ All Occasion Sentiments

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:-

As You Like It ~ Favourite Shaped Card & Why (I prefer square shaped card as I think they create more sketch opportunities and I also like the effect of a nice and tidy square card!)
