Good Morning and welcome to our monthly blog hop where we are counting down to Christmas with 2 cards on the 25th of each month.  If you have arrived from my bff, Shari's blog, then you are in the right place.  If not, go to her blog so you can start at the beginning and not miss any of the great inspiration.  There are 5 of us in the hop this month and the blog order is posted at the end of my post in case you get lost along the way.

Each of us has made two cards ~ one with a stamped/coloured image and one with a die cut machine.
