Challenge 25...Romance or Sweet!

Thank you all for your patience! The new challenge begins today with the creative tone set by our wonderful Anki! In Anki's words, "the challenge is to create a Romantic or Sweet card. I used Sweet November - the movie as my inspiration - since I loved that movie even if it also was very sentimental, but a perfect movie to watch a rainy Fall day together with someone that you love. Kramis - Anki"

The winner of this Challenge will be chosen randomly on Monday, November 30th...you have until November 29th to enter!

Three of you will be asked to select a Belles 'n Whistles Christmas stamp of your choice, whoo hoo! Maybe it's the start of the holiday season that's itching inside me.
