Welcome December!

It's December and I'm excited...for oh so many reasons!  It's the holiday season, the birth month of Christ, presents, family...and so much more.  Although 2020 has caused us to have to rethink/reimagine how we've done things, our creativity and our ingenuity continue to thrive.

So the 1st Sunday of every month, the Fabulous Fun Friday Stampers (FFF Stampers) meet virtually (we used to meet in person, pre-COVID) for Shoebox parties.  The premise of Shoebox parties is that each participant designs a card and when we met in person, they'd prepare 1 card kit for each stamper then we'd get together on the appropriate date and get to creating.  In this age of COVID, each participant still designs a card, but we post it to our Pinterest board and then each participant searches their stash and creates the card with items they have.  Sometimes, we all have the same stamp/paper/stencil/die, etc. and sometimes we don't and thus use the card as inspiration.  This month, the theme was birthday, we were a little burnt out on making Christmas cards.  Here are the cards I made based on the stampers' upload:
