Heart2Heart Seasonal Shout Out #1
This busy holiday month, to help give the Design Team a little more time with their families, we will not be selecting Top 10 or a Top Chick.  We still wanted to recognize our players, so at least once each week we'll be giving a "shout out" to an awesome project.  This week's shout out goes to Sue Reynolds for this cute card.

Also Submitted to the following:  

Please click on any of the highlighted challenges to see the many inspirations and creative designs from each of the Design Team members and the many submissions to these challenges. Some of these challenges may still be open...so hop on by.

TWOFERS Challenge
December 5, 2015 - Flowers
Holly (Ilex spp.) bushes and trees are a diverse group that serve many needs within the garden, as well as making colorful holiday decorations. Their shiny, often spiny leaves and bright red berries are instantly recognizable, but you may miss their plain, small, white flowers. Although some holly plants may not have berries, they all have flowers to varying degrees.
