December Color Fuser Blog Hop

in 12 weeks of Christmas, Cardmaking on 12/02/24

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

It’s December already.  Time flies when you are having fun.  Where did November go? 2025 is coming in full swing.  We will blink and December will be over.  I’m a little behind posting all my projects but want to jump ahead for our monthly Color Fuser Blog Hop.

The first Monday of the Month, I participate in the Color Fuser Blog Hop! I love our December Color Fuser Blog Hop… This month brings a new color combination.  Designers can use a combination of Misty Moonlight, Melon Mambo and Shaded Spruce for their project.

Hop around the world with our group of talented demonstrators.   We’ve created designs from our December Color Challenge using Stampin’up! Colors.

You may have just arrived here from my lovely friend Tami Hewlett from the USA.   I totally love what she designed for today’s challenge.   At the bottom of the page there is Color Fuser Badge to guide you to the next blog.
