Card Design: Imagine That...Treat Stand

Did you miss the special blog hop going on until July 28th to help raise funds for a special lady undergoing cancer treatment?  I created a special sentiment set and a digital paper set specifically for this fundraiser.  Click HERE for all the details.

Hello everyone.  I'm here today to present my second Imagine That! Digis by Kris project for July.  However, before I get to it I just wanted to share some of what has been happening over at the Imagine That! blog these past few weeks.

New Sets in the Store

• This month Imagine That! Digis by Kris is focussing on Christmas in July.  As such, Kris has come up with some adorable new sets perfect for getting some of those much needed holiday cards started.  The great thing about these sets is that they are not only suitable for Christmas but have everyday options as well.  Check them all out.  Clicking on any of the watermarks below will take you to their section in the store.

Free Stuff

• Are you new to Imagine That! Digis by Kris and want to try before you buy?  Well you can find six different images in the free section of the store.  Click HERE to head there now.

Special Giveaway

• Don't forget you still have time to win one of three sets of 50 Christmas themed digital brads.  For task #3, there is only one card linked up so if you have a card linked in the IT Digi Stamp of the Month link up, why not come over here and link it up on this blog as well for your chance to win one of the sets??!!  Right now the odds are pretty good.  If you've already got the card made, it will just take another moment to link it up over here too.  Be sure to check click HERE for all the details. 

Well that is what is new and exciting over at Imagine That!  Of course we still have our July challenges going on and you can find the links you need at the bottom of this post.  Right now, it is time to check out my latest project...
