BONIBLEAUX NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP - DECEMBER

Hello everyone!

Have you just arrived from Ruth's Blog, than you know we are showing you

all the new Bonibleaux Disign Digis that are coming out for December.

To show them all the Design Team has come up with some great cards

that we are showing you in a blog hop.

We're doing something different with the Blog Hop this week and that is that one of the Design Team Members will be secretly chosen as the "MYSTERY HOSTESS" of the blog hop and one lucky commenter will receive a

GRAND PRIZE

Free full set of New Release BDD digital images $30 value

This Blog Hop does not have a starting and ending point so no matter where you HOP on you are in the right place. Just keep going. Don't forget to leave some love everywhere you land, including here! Once you have gone full circle you have completed the Hop.

Because Hanukkah is around the corner,

I have come up with this card with
the strory of Hanukkah:

The land of Israel was in 168 BCE occupied by the Greek soldiers, but a little group of Jewish fighters, called the Maccabees, fought against them and won.

To celebrate this they went into the temple in Jerusalem to light the Menorah, but there was only a small amount of oil and to their surprise it lasted the full eight days.

This is the miracle of the Hanukkah oil that is celebrated every year when Jews light a special menorah known as a hanukkiyah for eight days. One candle is lit on the first night of Hanukkah, two on the second, and so on, until eight candles are lit. You can learn more about the hanukkiyah in the article: What Is a Hanukkiyah?

The stamps for this Hanukkah card can be found

in Bonibleaux Digis shop: HERE

I have printed out the soldiers and colored them with copic markers.

The background is done with the cuttlebug ( I used some of Tim Holtz embossing folders).

And here you see the inside. Yes, Judah The Maccabee has won and it is time to celebrate!

And celebrate the new digital stamps with us by looking at all the art in the Blog Hop

for the new stamps.
