Digistamps For Joy December Progressive Challenge

Here is my make with the Digistamps For Joy December Progressive Challenge on FB. Here is what Margy has to say:

Our Facebook Progressive Freebie Challenge (PFC), to run for the whole month of December. TWO digis this month to celebrate Christmas!

This is how it works:
1. If you made a card for the November PF challenge, you can claim the December challenge image from me by sending an email to info@digistamps4joy.co.za
2. Make a card with this image and post it in this album (not the main group page please). To get it to show up on the main page, please leave a comment under your photo after placing it in the album
3. At the end of the month, I will send out a message to those who entered, and ask you to email me for the next freebie.
4. If you want to participate in our PFC, but missed the November freebie, you may purchase the current month's freebie from the store at a reduced price of only $1 each (http://digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/index.php…) and (http://digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/index.php…), and then carry on participating from there onwards. I will not be sending any previous month's free digis out.
5. My Design Team may participate as there is no winner and therefore no prize - just the next month's image "free".
