Kylie Bertucci, Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Australia, organizes a monthly International Blog Highlight event. Each month demonstrators are invited to submit an entry under the given theme and upload it to the web before the event goes live. Anyone can vote for their favourite 5 projects. The top 10 are invited to participate in a blog hop.
Last month (January 2018) I missed the “go live” date and decided that I would prepare something for February. When the time came I checked the theme – Get Well Soon – and prepared a project. I was surprised by how many people had already uploaded their entries and was confused as to how to do so as the upload link said it was closed! A bit slow on the uptake, it was a while before I realized that I was looking at February 2017!
But, no worries, my project was complete – and here it is:
