Way to go, Denise...it may not be on fire but your card is seriously sparkin & smokin! There's no doubt it will be in flames next year!!! :)
We're going to keep this challenge open for 2020! It will run from January 1st through December 31st. This is a great challenge to help support the Library so I'd Love to see you guys join us in this one!
I'm all fired up to show the Library some more Love in 2020 ;)
