MTTC #523 Holidays Around the World theme DT card for 15 Dec 2023

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity Blog! I've had a heart for crafting, practical arts, and fine arts since about age 9!!!

Purpose: this post features a fancy fold card that I made for My Time To Craft challenge blog that I've been managing for almost 2 years. 

When: December 15-28, 2023; over a year ago, MTTC and MTTCC's design team members at that time decided to continue our every other week momentum throughout the holiday season; we know what the themes are well in advance so we can work ahead; plus between the hemispheres and different countries around the world, observances in December and January vary and/or have heavier emphasis or less...we just keep on going!

What: Holidays Around The World theme #523 at MTTC with a Saint Nicholas Day and Santa Christmas themed fancy fold card
