As always, we have some wonderful inspiration from our design team.

Valerija of Moje Veselji has mad this beautiful Christmas Candle card. I am loving all that silver glittery background and the pretty dies she used here. The white square intricate die looks wonderful against the red card background.

Liz of  Crafty Sunflower  has made this striking red and white reindeer card. Amazing how the white  makes such a pop against the red embossed background! That reindeer is getting ready for takeoff...could it be Rudolph?

Eemeli of Eemeli's Home as this adorable snowman. I think the blue colour scheme is so soft and pretty! I especially love the wee pop of red in the bottom DP...

Kath at Handmade by Kathleen  has made this stunning Christmas Tree greetings card. How I love that die! It has tons of sparkle as it is cut from red glitter paper.

My card is quite simple. I used a Penny Black Stickeroo, matted twice with red card.

I off-centered that onto a piece of Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor 12x12 scrapbook paper which a cut down into 6 inch squares. I quite like this paper as it has a kind of dirty brownish edge on two side, which looks like it was ink distressed. 

I had a fairly slender snippet of greenish/brown dotted DP. Sorry I do not remember the manufacturer anymore. I used that as a sort of grounding strip to anchor two layers of Memory Box Fir borders. The front layer is just green card but the back layer is distressed silver metallic card. The green was very similar to the background and blended in too much, so I gave it a random coat of Wink of Stella white and  I missed some areas on purpose, so you could still see part of the green card.

I am entering my card in the following challenges.

This month, the Rudolph Days Challenge prize is a choice of this Memory Box Holly leaf border...

or a surprise stamp set. It has to be a surprize because I forgot to write the name down before I left to visit my Mum...silly me.  I have some great Christmas stamp prizes so will let the winner pick from my prize stash!
