~Guest Designer Spot at Hearts Quest Celebrations of Love


I am so very excited to have you here with me today!  I am the lucky guest designer over at the Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love Challenge Blog for November!  It's such a fun challenge blog and I love to play along so I was delighted to be a guest designer this month.  
 
Each month you can enter using the theme of Birthdays, Engagements, Weddings, Anniversaries and/or Sympathies and then each month also has a theme for a current or upcoming season/event.  So for November the optional theme is Christmas. I chose to make a Christmas Birthday card!
 
 

 I have had this digi forever from Digi Doodle Studios and my gosh I am not sure why I haven't colored it up beforehand!  It's called Elf Gift Surprise.  They are such fun digis, I am going to have to use them more often!
 
I sure hope you will join in the fun using any of the fab themes available and maybe combine it with the optional one fore November as well!
 
Hope you have a crafty week!
