Forever & Always Step Card - International Highlights Blog Hop

Forever & Always Step Card - International Highlights Blog Hop - January 2021

Monday, 4 January 2021

I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for January! As always the theme is - Thank you. I used products from the Love You Always Product Suite to make this pretty step card. I love the colour combinations in this product suite - I used Rococo Rose, Black and White for my card!

You are able to VOTE for my card!! The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop at the end of October, so I would really appreciate you taking the time to Vote for me!!
