Inkspirational #293 - Word Prompt - Christmas in July

 Hello friends! The newest Inkspirational Challenge is up and it's a Word Prompt.

So, I'm sure the prompt means you can make a traditional winter Christmas Card but since I have a friend that now lives in Florida - I thought I'd make it a beach/hot weather theme Christmas and I'll send this card to her!

I love this melting snowman die from Poppy Stamps and he was the perfect thing for my hot beach scene.  I'm glad we caught him before he was just a puddle!  
The palm tree stamp is from My Island set by Waltzingmouse (retired).  
The Christmas bulbs on the palm tree are a die set called Tree Rex from Cherry Lynn Designs (they actually string around a dinosaur die, really cute!).  
The background is DP of sand and sky.  I framed the scene with metallic green frame cut with a die from Rubbernecker.  I die cut the sentiment with a circle and layered it over a die cut sun up on foam dots and overlapping the frame.

So, how will you interpret Christmas in July!  We can't wait to see! 
You'll find more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team as well as the link to add your cards over at Inkspirational!

You have until July 14th to link up!
