These are all wonderful cards! Looks like you will have quite the stash for the holidays. I did just want to let you know that you will need to come back and link to the DTBST post as you linked to the monthly challenge where a SSD image is required. Sorry for the confusion it seems to have caused. Thanks for joining us at Sassy Studio Designs. :)
