The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up: New Challenge #15 - Holiday Decorations

Beware the Ides of March -- or Happy Belated Pi Day -- or Happy early St. Patrick's Day.

In any event, I am here with another 12 Months of Christmas Link Up Design Challenge.  This month we're featuring some really fun digi stamps by A Day for Daisies.

Here are the challenge details:

• Blog link: The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up 
• Challenge dates: March 1-31, 2016
• Optional theme: "Holiday Decorations" - if you would like to participate in the optional theme for the month, create a card that showcases a holiday decoration on it (lights, wreaths, ornaments, tinsel...). Also add "FT" after your name, so we can include it in the prize drawing. This theme is optional.  You only need to follow the theme if you are interested in winning a $12 Gift Certificate from A Day for Daisies.
