International Blog Highlights Winners Blog Hop - November 2022

Monday, 28 November 2022

I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing in the top ten in the November 2022 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my A Fish & A Wish Shaker Card.

My card today features the Stampin' Up! Happiness Abounds Stamp Set and beautiful Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I love this suite. I cut the flowers from the Designer Series Paper and framed the sentiment. So easy and so pretty in Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy. I created this card as part of a recent sketch challenge. Here's the sketch I used.

Here's my card.
