Monthly Mix Challenge!


Hi Everyone!!!
Welcome to the 
Monthly Mix Challenge! :)
2018 is here and I was thinking that  
some kindness would be a great way to start the year!
So for this month I thought we would make
 a card for someone letting them know 
we are thinking of them, 
or how special they are.
 Or for their kindness. 
Maybe even a Miss You card! 
Then send it out...
put a stamp on it, drop it in the mail!  :)
You never know how it will brighten someones day! <3 
Here is my cards for the challenge! 

Stamp Sets: Seasonal Sentiments, Stitched Leaves, & Peaceful Holidays
