Wonderful samples!! I always adore bird images and that dapper avian of Cathy's is adorable. In the US, we would call him a chickadee....but Euros will call him a tit. I think I like chickadee better!! Ha.
Gail's cowboy snowman is such a creative take on the Christmas in July theme!! I know they do get snow in those desert SW states, but this has me smiling at the idea of a snowman in what otherwise would be a hot, arid place in July.
Thank you for another lovely challenge.

Am I not able to link up through my Flickr account for these challenges? I don't have a blog so where on FB can I upload? I went over to the Lost Coast Designs FB page but can't find where to enter the challenge. Thanks for your help

Hi SHartl. Yes, you should be able to add from flickr. Make sure your pictures are public. The challenge allbum in the fb group is pinned at the top of the page and you are welcome to add your makes there as long as they use Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps. If you still can't get it to work let me know and I'll get a flickr expert on it LOL. Hugz

Thanks! Yes, my flickr acct is public. I'll go upload my card later today and see if it works. Thanks for your reply.

I just found your Challenge last night while googling to find the name of my Lost Coast angel stamp ... Herald Angels. I found the pretty card made by InkArt designs using the Herald Angels stamp with a link to her tutorial and this challenge. Thank you for the inspiration. I added 12 cards to my Christmas card stash and linked two here.
