Reason For The Season Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Reason For the Season" blog hop. We're happy to have you all here with us today to celebrate the reason for the season. Each blogger will have their own interpretation of their reason for the season, and I hope that you find loads of creative inspiration along the way.

It is not a requirement, but I do kindly ask you to show our sponsors lots of love on their blogs and/or Facebook fan pages thanking them for their generosity in sponsoring this hop. I will have a link below to each sponsor's store, as well as their blog and Facebook fan page if applicable.**

Here is the complete line up....


If you're coming from Lynne's Blog, then you're on the right track. If you just happened to stop by my blog today, be sure to head on back to Kristy's blog and hop from the beginning.

So I had seen this card in the Silhouette store and thought it was perfect clean and simple.  Not a huge fan of the green paper with the corner detail but I thought it turned out ok...



Recipe:
Papers are from my stash
Cuts and card come from the Silhouette store
Jaded Blossom Christmas Wishes



Thank you so much for hopping along with us today, and we all hope that you were filled with loads of Christmas joy, as well as loads of inspiration!
