Heartfelt Creations Alumni December Hop

Welcome to our last hop for 2013 

(BUT we will back on the last Tuesday in January 2014 !!!)

Using Heartfelt's Christmas Card Collection paper pack, I made a winter Birthday card...

Love love love the Viva Decor's 3D Stamp paint (thanks Olga!) seems like I added it

 to almost every card I made for Christmas this year.....

and speaking of that...I SOOOOOOO ran out of time this year, even starting in September.

So, I am keeping a box of Christmas embellishments out and going to continue to work on Christmas cards the rest of January...I didnt send all the cards I usually do this past year and that's NOT going to happen to me again in 2014....I hope (-:   

Hope you are enjoying our hop...you should have come from Mary's blog. 

 Hop starts  Tues. December 31st and closes Fri. January 3rd at midnight. 

The winner will be chosen randomly from the comments left on all the blogs and will be announced Saturday Jan 4th by noon. 

That person will WIN a $25 gift certificate to shop at Heartfelt Creations!
