Bugaboo Stamps Christmas in July Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Third Annual Christmas in July Celebration for Bugaboo! Can you believe it has been three years since we started seeing the adorable Bugaboo images all over the web? Bugaboo has grown so much in the last three years and I am so proud to be a part of this fabulous design team! We would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support of Bugaboo without you we would be nothing! Today we are kicking things off with a Blog Hop!
Today kicks off a new Challenge - 'Show us your Santa', use the above picture for your inspiration! For your trouble you could win one of our Daily prizes which is our special Christmas in July  Set and 10, 7 or 4 free images we are also offer many opportunities for you to be our guest, we have discovered that Bugaboo Fans/Followers are some of the best designers out there!
For my card today I used the fun and happy image Summer Duck - Suntan! I know this image isn't the usual first thing that comes to mind for the summer, but I thought it would look perfect for the challenge! I used these fun patterned papers that remind me of the holiday and paired it with this red ribbon

Good non-Christmas card which reflects the season. I think we all know people who would appreciate this kind of card as opposed to the real "santa" ones.
