Monday, 1 February 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 the Hydrangea Haven Bundle to create this beautiful Easel 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 February, so I would really appreciate you taking the time to Vote for me!! I was honoured to be in the top ten last month. You can check out my card from last month and also my card from the Winners Hop.
