Christmas in July

I recently went on a little scrapbook retreat weekend.  Feeling very excited and fairly well-prepared, I set out to have a super-productive weekend.  And I'm sure it would've been, had I not forgotten my pictures!  Fortunately, due to a slight lack of organizational skills, I had some random Christmas photos stashed away in my bag of paper.  The result? Two very differently-styled Christmas layouts completed in the middle of a scorching summer. The first couldn't be more simple...

The other is about as many embelishments as I ever put on a page...

However, both left me in the holiday spirit and dreaming of cooler weather.
