Christmas in July! JustRite!

It's Christmas in July with JustRite! We are showing you Christmas ideas and creations to start that holiday magic! Can you believe it, in 8 days, we will be 5 months away from Christmas Day? So, while the outdoor temperatures may feel too warm or the calendar feels a bit too early to start thinking Christmas, I propose creating for the holidays year round makes for a more relaxing holiday! Are you with me?

How about a reindeer tic tac toe board game today, utilizing the reindeer image from one of JustRite's newest sets, Holiday cheer? This adorable image is sure to please players of all ages!

The markers are color coded, by the reindeer's scarf, hat rim, and patterned paper. Beneficial for color recognition, each marker is stamped with X's and O's for a bit of letter review! The reindeer nose is accented with crystal effects.

The board was purchased at my local Dollar Tree. I painted the wood and inserted squares for color and dimension. It allows the markers to really show well too. This item really is intended for a wall hanging and came with hangers attached to the backside. I removed them. A closer peek at the button feet! After the patterned paper was adhered to the sides, I lightly sanded the edges.

And another angle of the completed board. I painted the board with white acrylic paint. What a fun and economical gift that can be loved and used all year long! The JustRite Stampers Design team has inspiration upon inspiration for you today! Take good care and enjoy the hop!
