Good morning on a very warm and sunny day here in the UK.  Its Tuesday and that means its time for another challenge over on 
and our theme for this week is 
"Christmas in July"

I chose to use one of Jacqueline's Wildlife stamps thus one is called "Arctic Seals 3010" for my sample card this week.  I went quite natural this time using shades of brown's with a tiny splash of colour.
