Beccy's Place Blog Challenge



 The Beccy's Place January Blog Challenge has started.  The optional theme is all about flowers and plants.

Here is my card using Simply Freesias which unfortunately is retired but you can definitely find something to purchase in the store if you look.  Beccy's Place stamps are addictive and if you check out the store you will find freebies.  Don't forgot Beccy's vast list of folds, they are great.

SheepSki Designs December Blog Challenge

 Welcome to our last blog challenge for 2023.  It is a shame Andrea has to discontinue the Facegroup challenge at the end of this year so I hope those who entered with SheepSki Designs images will enter our blog challenge to keep that challenge going.

Well December is upon us.  Hasn't the last half of 2023 gone quickly?

Our optional twist for December is "Layer It".  I have used the new digital stamp "Crazy Horses"  Image No. 277.  I have made a New Year card with elements of layering.
