First up is Jenny at Cardsarus blog.
Jenny has made what methinks just might be a Hunky Dory designed card. Loving that wee reindeer and the liberal use of silver to accent the card elements. The inside is just as lovely as the front!

Hope you will all pop over to Jenny's blog and leave her some much deserved love! Jenny is so dedicated to this challenge. Even though I told her to take as long as she needed, she made this card while she is dealing with the loss of her husband. Such a lovely and special lady is our Jenny!
Our new design team member is Sue Tossel from Sue's Crafty Corner blog.
Sue has made us a lovely stack of presents card. Well, to be honest, she made us several stacks of presents cards. The presents stack up like a tree and look so pretty. Loving the colouring here. Pop on over to Sue's to see her cards!
Finally, my card today is a birds eye view of the world as touched by the birth of Christ. At least that was my intent. The map DP is Prima, Santa Baby and the die is Holy Night Nativity by Cottage Cutz.
The Believe sentiment is a Sue Wilson die. Both dies were cut from snippets, as well as the last teensy piece of a pink inky card stock that I fussy cut to look like a sunset behind the image.
The prize this month is this Tim Holtz snowman scene die
or this Penny Black robin stamp

Beautiful creations <3
Hi Maureen,
what an excellent card and such a super idea the map and the nativity scene is.
Love that Believe die cut it's such a lovely design.
Was out all day yesterday at my Son's so only just getting chance to look at the challenge, blog.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful inspiration from Jenny and Sue. Hope you are in less pain soon, Maureen and the knee has a speedy recovery xxx
So sorry for your knee pain, hope that you will feel better soon!!
Lovely inspirations from the team!
Hugs
Lol l did wonder so glad you posted it today and sorry to read your still suffering with your knee l hope the meds are helping just love the Dt’s creations sending lots of love xx
Hi Maureen, sorry to hear you are still in so much pain at the moment. Those painkillers can be a boon by easing the pain but, oh my goodness those side affects! Hope you are pain free soon. Lovely cards from everyone and the prizes are beautiful - I particularly like the robin stamp ... always love a robin. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
I hope your knee feels better soon Maureen and thanks for all the time and effort you put in to running this challenge. Lots of gorgeous samples and inspiration for the DT too.

Love your topper card. Hugs Mrs A.
Thanks for linking the challenge. I was worried when it wasn't there yesterday, and hoped that didn't mean you were not well enough to do it. At least it is only the pills, (and the painful knee of course), but I know how disorientated that can make you feel. I hope you are more comfortable soon and need to take less of them.
There is some lovely inspiration again this month. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Kate x
Thank you for the challenge.
Thanks for another challenge. Hope you get better soon
Beautiful cards from you and Jenny, Maureen. I spotted Sue's lovely cards over on her blog yesterday.
Sorry to hear that your knee is still painful. Hope you will soon be pain free. xx
Gorgeous cards by all! Thanks for a new Rudolph Days! This month I need all the help I can get to keep me on track as I've had migraines for most of this month and there is no mojo to be found. I'm not blogging but I did cobble together a Christmas card for you - thanks for the push! Hope you'll be feeling better soon.
Sorry you are having to be on strong painkillers for your knee Mo but hope it settles down soon. The cards you have all made are beautiful. I love Jenny's Hunkydory creation, so pretty, and then Sue's wonderful stack of parcels shaping up like a tree and love the colours, and yours with the wonderful background map and the silhouette nativity scene which looks so pretty over the top. A great choice of prize on offer again this time too. x
All are such wonderful cards and I love the design you did that shows that the reason for the season is for the whole world. Great idea and coloring. I hope you feel better soon too.
Hi Mo, I hope the pain killers are helping your recovery from your knee surgery, wishing you a speedy recovery... have a wonderful week... Megan
Beautiful Christmas designs, ladies! I'm just playing for fun, Maureen ... you are featured on my post today! :-) Hugs, Darnell

Thanks for the great inspiration cards... and the chance to win neat prizes. [I love seeing Robins out on the yard these last few weeks. Yay Spring.]

I really love the variety of cards by all of you this month! Your card is just gorgeous, Maureen!
Happy Rudolf Days everyone. Hope you are feeling better Mo. Great photo with dear Darnell. Wonderful cards from the team. Hugz
I love your bird's eye view of the earth at Christmastime! What a great idea to use the map for a background!! I really like the whole concept of your pretty card, as well as those from your special DT! I do hope your knee is feeling better - there's nothing worse than constant pain. Take good care of yourself in the meantime and have a good week ahead. HUGS!
Lost comment, write long one too tired to do again.. sorry not sure if this will work either. Pray your health improves it’s no fun not being well.

Wonderful cards Mo - and I do so love yours especially as it covers the World. And you do have a great DT there - they always come up trumps as they say in the UK. Really hope your pain is easing -off to check out Darnell's post but I bet I know who I see there. And, I've entered (using the fabulous stamp set from Inkadinkado that I'm sure you so kindly gifted to me) - just playing for fun though. No post from you as yet - but give it time Mo! Lots of love, Di xx
PS I can't see a closing time on the Mr Linky. I know I'm in good time but wonder if you maybe didn't set it? xx
Hope you're feeling a bit better Maureen, great card and two also from your guests....end of the month but another card for my stash, thanks for hosting Rudolph Days.
So sorry for your pain....I am dealing with an injured hand here, myself. Hang in there and get well soon! Lovely cards by everyone. Can't do much more typing right now.

Finally my card for Rudolph days, it's hard to find crafting time the last little while, but I didn't want to miss a month.
Fabulous inspiration Maureen, I'm sorry to hear that you are poorly.

What a wonderful card showing the true meaning of Christmas, Maureen! Good luck with your surgery. Prayers go with you. It was such a treat meeting you in person! I'm so glad you could join us for a little while. xoxo
