Christmas in July

Welcome everyone to another challenge at Exploring Cricut.  Today's challenge is to create a layout, card, or other papercraft for Christmas.  This is also a blog hop.   If you are participating in the blog hop you should have come from Rae Ann's blog.  I decided for this project to get an early start on my Christmas cards.
I started with a 5.75" x 5.75" base.  The base was covered in Christmas pattern paper from Kaiser Craft that came as a free gift with a magazine.
I used the cartridge Elegant Edges to cut the green base at 5.23"

I used the Christmas cartridge to cut the reindeer at 3.82".  I used crystal stickles on the antlers because Christmas reindeer are magical creatures and should be special.
