End of Term Blog Hop at House of Cards

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The end of the 6 month long DT term at House of Cards would usually mean it's time for a Blog Hop.  Today is no different in that regard, but after much thought and deliberation between HoC's owner Mynn and DT Co-ordinator Judy, they have come to the very difficult decision that this month will be the last challenge at House of Cards.

It is, of course, a decision which myself and the other Design Team members fully understand.  I'm sure we'll all continue to support both amazing ladies, as well as each other, when the doors to our House close. 

I am beyond honored to have been with the team for SEVEN terms, or 3 and half years, plus a GDT spot in early 2015 before joining that July.  And have been utterly inspired by all the amazing creations, not just from the DT, but challenge participants too!  Thank you! 

We're not done yet, and this month's challenge will run until December 15, after which the winners will be posted.  Here's the gorgeous inspiration photo...

Make sure you leave a comment at each person's blog along the way because the prize is hidden and we'll be doing a random drawing from the blogs where it is hiding! :) 


 After you're done, we would love for you to make a creation to share with us, too.

I'll be back soon with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

  8. A really lovely card - and a perfect take on the inspiration photo. Sad to hear about House of Cards, but things move on I guess. Sometimes it's best to quit whilst you're ahead but am sure the blog/challenge will be missed. Apologies for a hasty comment. Blame Dudley!

    Great to see you in the Playground.

    Hugs

  12. Em, I love your beautiful card and your fresh poinsettias! It has been an honor and a joy to work with you on House of Cards in so many ways. I was so happy for you when you became a team leader, (even though I was sad to see you leave Group 3). Now I am sad to see our monthly challenge blog close its doors. I will miss you all very much. Take care, and keep crafting, and keep in touch!
    Take care!
