BUGABOO'S 'CHRISTMAS IN JULY' BLOG HOP

 http://api.ning.com/files/C-Nc1LMrUrfLUEruKyioe7K3pOYIKCuZ-26PE9q3b68VWVCM5GFqnVvisZtvJWr*ytziuQlS2p2LoWBLw-7N6wb82qO3K80M/DeaconCIJ2012BadgeGoingonNow.png

Welcome!


If you arrived here by way of Jennifer's blog, you are heading in the right direction and you are exactly where you should be.  If not, and you'd  like to start at the beginning, click HERE to link to Jodie's blog. 

Here's the card I have to share with you today, and it's inspiration for you to enter our challenge on the Catch the Bug Blog:

Here is a better look at the image - just PERFECT for a child's Christmas card - isn't it cute?  The image is called Knobbly Knees Christmas - Joy and is available in the Bugaboo Stamps store.

As the theme for the challenge is CHRISTMAS IS FOR KIDS - and you are challenged to make a kid's Christmas card and consider making more to contribute to Send a Smile 4 Kids, my card has been made with no embellishments that can cause choking.  There are no loose embellishments that can be pulled off, and the ribbons are securely tied on!

Now you see how easy it is to enter, your next stop on the hop is the wonderfully talented LORI for some more inspiration.

I'd love it if you left me a comment to show that you have visited me!
