~Aloha Christmas and Silver Numbers~





I made a Christmas card for my dear friend who loved these numbered paperclips (Studio Calico) on another card she saw in my stash.







The center image is a stamp I purchased in HI~since that was where I was raised...I'm sure she will appreciate it. ;)


I added other fun elements ...probably way more than I've ever done.

In fact, I went over my "200 character" limit on labels...never saw that warning on blogger before!

So, I just labeled it with the challenges.
