Welcome to the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who come together on the 14th of the month to bring you this blog hop.  This month our theme is Christmas in July!  I know it is the middle of summer and I am not  thinking about Christmas.  That being said  it would be smart for me to start my Christmas cards.  Every year I am scrambling to get my cards done.  Maybe just maybe after all these years I will start them now and get a some cards made ahead of time!
