It was a lot of fun seeing ideas from our members this week for IB199 & IB199C. Everyone is so talented and it is so fun to see where the inspiration will take you! It is also fun to see the Christmas inspiration being shared, it will make sending and delivering paper hugs a lot easier at Christmas time.

The honorable mention, chosen by a DT memberof the IB199 challenge is this adorable card from Deborah.  We loved her interpretation of the challenge, and adding chocolate, yes, please!
