I made two cards for the hop. I was inspired by the colors and to make Christmas cards.
Now head over to Miesje's blog to see how she was inspired by the advent calender photo.
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (November 22), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
I used paper from the DCWV The Christmas Mat Stack. Aren't they festive and fun?
