Peppermint Kisses for Merry Little Christmas Challenge #71 on the 1st of November 2026

Hi All!

Well, our Spring weather has been totally crazy with bits of sun and still lots of rain and storms.
Anyway, for challenge #71 for November/December 2026 of the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, I made a card from the latest Virtual Retreat by La-La Land Crafts!

So, here is my card for this month:

Here is a photo of the inside of the card:
