Warm Hugs & Reindeer Kisses: A Christmas Card

Warm Hugs & Reindeer Kisses: A Christmas Card

Hello everyone! Fall is here and we are finishing up the harvest with the garden and getting ready for winter, so we have been a bit busy but thankfully we have had a little time to craft which has been super nice (a big thanks to the rain)! Happy fall to everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by! If you like our blog and posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow! Just push "follow" button on the right side!

Let the crafting continue.... for this card I was inspired by a few challenges: The Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenge and the Try a Sketch on Tuesday Sketch Challenge! Links to all the challenges and the sketch and inspiration photos are at the end of this post, like always! We hope you will check their challenges out they are super fun and keep the crafty inspiration flowing! I loved this sketch, I actually had to flip this sketch so my background designer paper actually read correctly! haha! and... I just couldn't resist using the cute little reindeer yet again!! I hope you like this card as much as I do!
