You've caught me in the midst of getting a Christmas card ready to submit to Rudolph Day over at Stamping for Pleasure. Sarn's challenge runs from the 25th of each month and closes on the last day of the month at 7pm. You can submit any type of Christmas card...that's 12 cards ready for Christmas if you participate each month!
So here's my desk...one of these Christmas cards is going to be finished up for Sarn's challenge tomorrow...but which one will it be is a secret till tomorrow...I will have to keep you in suspense till then!
The card on the left, needs a piece of the red cross stitch cloth die cut into the bottom petals of the poinsettia...the ivory is just blending into the page. Hopefully that shot of red will perk them up. The large silver and cream oval 25 cutout, used to be a 25th anniversary invite. I got a package of 3 at the thrift shop for 15 cents. Just behind the cards you can see the rectangular, silver reverse cutout. I will save that to use on a future card.
So that's it for me...I'm only a red fabric poinsettia petal, and 2 more snowflake die cut corners away from gluing everything in place.... hopefully I make the Rudolph Day deadline!

Three fabulous cards. I move my elements around too! I am forever making flowers and then not using them, my worktop is scattered with them!! Hugs Susan x
Well, the cards look great - nothing wrong with a bit of tweaking before you get the glue out, after all! Have a great week. helen, 8

Have a Great week Happy WOYWW Heather #85
your cards look great and I take my hat off to you for being able to still make Christmas cards in Feb/Mar.
there is a problem with your link from Julia's page so you may be short on comments. When you click on your link it says the page is not available, I went and clicked on your Feb projects at the side bar and got this page
Happy WOYWW hope you have a great day

I can spend hours moving things around before I make the decision on where to put things on my card - lol - guess we have something in common!
Sounds like many of us play with the elements on our cards before adhering! I love it! And I really like your cards!!! Happy WOYWW!

I don't think I stand a chance of getting my Rudolph entry in this month, nor my ATC entry for the Clarity challenge. I do have about 8 Christmas cards ready for next year, really because Christmas got postponed until last weekend, due to illnesses. So we decided that Christmas cards should be kept till next year. Have a good week. xx Maggie #15
Super card...lovely organised esk too!!!! I see some beautiful creations on your blog! TFS!
Your desk is so very tidy and organized! I love that!! And your thank you card is darling!!! Wonder what you will do for the Christmas card!!

I'm late enough to have seen the finished 25 card in real glory - fab. Can't believe how far sighted you were to pick up anniversary cards! Brilliant!
I'm not a huge mover..once I get to the embellishment stage I stick relatively randomly on the basis that I want it all to be over!!
love the cards, I might need to look at the Rudolph day challenge as I haven't started my Christmas cards yet. Tracy #72
I thought I'd commented earlier - but I don't see it. I love how all of your embellishments are organized by color. Maybe I said that last week, but it is still true this week. :-)

What fun to see your Rudolph card in its infancy. Your red petal trim really did make the flower pop out. Inspired touch. Your desk always looks so neat. Liked your tip of laying the pieces out, reviewing several times before you do anything permanent. A tip I should follow! TFS
Well done on the cards, Maureen! The detail is stunning!!
Just doing my Monday morning catch up, I’m so behind this week.
Oh, you’re so organised starting on Christmas cards already. I do like to get a jump on mine but I never start until June at the earliest.
Your desk is looking very tidy this week and I love all your colourful jars at the back, so pretty to look at while you’re working.
Thanks for stopping by this week
Happy Crafting!

Hi Maureen, your desk looks great with that bright splash of red on it. I'm sure the chap you've made the TU card for will be chuffed to receive it and the bird cards too. Hope you had a great weekend :) Elizabeth x #104
Hi Maureen! Your cards are just wonderful!
