Welcome to December and the final blog template challenge at Kate Hadfield Designs for 2018!!! Where did the year go? With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday festivities upon us, we do hope that you will find the time to join in on the December Blog template challenge! Before we get to the new template, let's announce the winner for the November's Template challenge. We loved looking through Kate's gallery here, at all of the fabulous Doily template pages from November, and Rafflecopter chose Sharon's ( @SharLamb ) fabulous "International Incident" page as the winner of the $15 gift card to Kate's Store. Congratulations Sharon!!! [@SharLamb Please PM Kate here at the Lily Pad to claim your Gift Card!] Thank you to everyone who participated in the November challenge. It was so much fun to see how everyone used the "Doily" template to make it their own! Now on to December!!! This month we have a fun styled template, we are calling the "Wrap it Up" template... Not only for the wrapping of gifts for the holiday season, but also for "Wrapping Up 2018"! The gift inspired designed template would be great for all of your holiday pages including Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanza, and New Years!!

Congrats @SharLamb and thanks for the template, Kate and Christa. Love your inspiration page, Christa.
Oh I know that this is a fabulous template for a Christmas layout but I have no photos right now to use with it. And, I always see the colors of fall as a gift from God so I made it as though I were looking out a window and used a colorful fall photo.
