Card Design: From the Heart Stamps December Challenge

Happy Christmas Eve!

Hallelujah!  I have actually managed to get my December card for the From the Heart Stamps (FTHS) progressive stamp of the month challenge completed. It is nice to not have to worry about not completing it in time this month!  
 
I would just like to say a quick thank you to Faith for continuing this wonderful progressive challenge. I have completed another full year of challenges and have earned 12 more amazing images.  It is such a blessing to part of this challenge.

In order to enter the FTHS progressive challenge, you must either have received the latest image by having participated in the previous month or you can buy the stamp for the current month's challenge.  Everyone who enters and follows the rules is a winner because you automatically get the stamp for the next month's challenge.  Stop by the site and check out the rules for yourself.  While you are there, have a look around.  They have some really awesome images.
