9 Months Till Christmas Hop

Hello!  Did you know that it is only 9 Month Till Christmas?  If you follow my blog you will know that on the 25th of each month I create 2 Christmas cards or projects along with a wonderful team of ladies in hopes to releive some stress closer to the Holidays.  By doing this hop each month I am guaranteed to have at lease 22 Christmas card/projects completed before the big day!  This month along with our regular Design Team we also have a wonderful Guest Designer named Sandy.   

I am the first stop on our fun little hop and I sure hope that you will hop along to see what the other talented ladies have also made to show to you in hopes to inspire you to start your Christmas projects early this year. 

Each month we have a different theme we follow when creating our projects, and this month in lieu of St. Patricks Day we are to create two Mainly Green projects.  This month I have made two cards to show you.
