This month's diva at TSR is having a card a day challenge and she posted the cutest sketch from Page Maps. I always need a ton of cards in the fall - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - so I thought I'd use that challenge to get ready for those holidays.

Adorable cards!! I've got to remember the sequins as I can't stand to pay extra charges for bumpy cards...lol

Great cards! Love the Christmas card with a little bling!
