Inclusion and diversity are important to me and honoring that through card making makes me happy.
In 2024, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Wednesday, Dec. 25, and ends at sundown on Thursday, Jan. 2.
Hanukkah is the festival of lights and means “dedication” in Hebrew. It celebrates the victory of Macabee soldiers, or Jewish freedom fighters, over the Syrian Greek army.
The Macabees reclaimed the holy temple in Jerusalem after their victory. The temple had been converted into a place of idol worship. They located enough oil to light the temple’s menorah for one night, but it miraculously burned for eight days, long enough to bring new oil.
It seems to me blue, and silver are the colors of Hanukkah, but I am not sure. I picked Blueberry Bushel because it is such a vibrant blue and it really shines next to the silver. I found the chocolate coins (gelt) in New York City and grabbed them to add to the celebration.
How do you celebrate inclusion with your card making. I would love to hear new ideas.
Thanks for hopping with us today. I am sure you will be inspired.
