Christmas in August With C&9

Happy Friday! I had planned on writing a post sharing the cards I made with the Celebration Bundle, but I'm too clumsy and I struggled to make the present halves line up. I'll try again, when I'm not going like a mad woman. I did get to make a card with some of the elements…
