CHRISTMAS IN JULY WITH BUGABOO STAMPS

Welcome my stop on the Third Annual Christmas in July Celebration for Bugaboo!  You have landed in my hometown of Durban, South Africa - this is what Christmas Day in Durban looks like (hot summer days, beautiful beaches ...!)

Can you believe it has been three years since we started seeing the adorable Bugaboo images all over the web???    Jodie still amazes me each week and I am so proud to be on her team.   We would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support of Bugaboo Stamps - without you we would be nothing!   

Ok enough mushy stuff, so let’s get on with our week-long Christmas in July Celebration!   We have lots planned this week with our Blog Hop, the weekly challenge but daily challenges as well.  Not only have we adapted our challenges to fit in with our Christmas Celebration but our prizes will make it seem like it’s really Christmas!  

Today we start off with a Theme Challenge to get you in the mood!  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, and an opportunity to be a future guest designer as we have discovered that Bugaboo Fans/Followers are some of the best designers out there!

If you have landed here by accident, and you would like to hop from the beginning, click HERE

If you landed here from the talented Jennifer Zeeb's blog, you are right where you should be!  

Now, with all the 'housekeeping' out of the way, let me show you my Santa (remember I told you Christmas is in midsummer in South Africa)

The image on my card is called Tropical Santa - Tubing .

The Tropical Santa range is perfect for sharing Christmas messages in South Africa!

Leave a comment to say you've stopped here and YOU could be in the running for one of the fabulous prizes.
