I am so excited to once again participate in Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Highlight Blog Challenge for December. This Gallery Challenge is made up of very talented stampers from all around the world, who create amazing cards. In this challenge you can vote for your favorite cards and later on in the month, the Top Ten Winners get to participate in the International Blog Hop. For the December Monthly International Blog Highlights Challenge, I decided to use stamp sets from the Annual Catalogue and the Designer Series Paper and the embossing folder from the Online Exclusive products.
I would really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes and vote for my card. Click on the image below to get the link to vote.
