Here is the first challenge of 2018 from Laurel Seabrook at Inspired By: Winter Cookies!
Isn't it pretty? Don't you want a cookie? These are so pretty I couldn't eat one ... but my husband would eat every one!
I'm also sending this over to Time Out for their 100th Challenge - Thank You!!
Thank YOU for stopping by!

How pretty and perfect for Laurel's challenge!
ReplyDeleteLovely card and I agree with Amy, perfect for Laurel's challenge. She's a fabulous crafter to follow if you haven't started. She is a genius with patterned paper. :) I've "known" her for years! :)
