I am sad to announce that I will have to suspend mailing of gifts until things are safer here in my area. Our province has relaxed things somewhat, but are still recommending if you fit the high risk group then follow the original rules. With so many people out and about now, it is riskier to go to the post office to have the parcels customs sticker stamped. I do have everything here at home, customs forms, stamps, scales etc, but the customs form has to be stamped by the post office. I will mail them all out once this has let up to a safe level.
Our designers have been busy.
First up is Sue at Sue's Crafty Corner blog.
Sue has made this beautiful Christmas card with delicate tiny fairies flying between the snowflakes. I am looking forward to Sue's blog post as although I think the fairies re Lavina stamps, I do wish to learn who makes those gorgeous snowflakes!
Pop over and leave Sue some love on this gorgeous card.

Next up is Sam at Whispers Cards blog.
Sams first card is so darn cute. All these little pups are so eager to wish you a Happy Christmas! I think they are all so cute too. My faves are the Daschunds. Sam sure has the perfect sentiment here!
Sam has made us a second card and I love this design style. As you look at the front of the card you see a cute snowman in an aperture, with lots of lovely snowflake die cuts about.
When you open the card you realize that the aperture is a frame around the image which is actually sitting on the inside of the card. It is a hidden treasure!
Both of the inside pages are decorated with more of the snowflake die cuts. I love the garland ones! They go great with the snowflake circles.
No card from me today. I have had a crick in my neck for well over a week and it has made my muscles so tense that I am now in pain down to my lower back. I already take quite strong painkillers for my arthritis, and they are not budging the pain at all. I feel a good massage or two would sort me out fairly quickly, but we are still not leaving the house other than walks and to pick up the grocery order.
Hopefully, it lets up soon.
Our prizes this month are a choice of this Memory Box Snowman Circle Collage die
or this Memory Box Watching Deer Circle die

The cards from your DT are so beautiful, and the one with the pup is making me smile. Don't worry about a card from you Mo, you need to feel better soon and give that neck a break. Just finished my card tonight and looks like I'm the first to comment as well!
Lovely cards from the DT. I can't believe we're halfway through the year - where is the time going? I'll be linking my card soon.

Cards are amazing great inspiration from the Dt's x
What super cards from your DT, Maureen. Sorry to hear that you are feeling unwell, hope you feel better soon. xx
I'm so sorry you're dealing with such pain, and I hope soon you can get that massage and it will help you feel better. Pain is not fun:( Thanks for having another Rudolph challenge and your DT has made some wonderful cards! Feel better soon!!
Hi Maureen,
wonderful DT cards this month they are all so very lovely and beautifully created.
Will pop over to comment after this.
Oh my that does sound panful and so uncomfortable for you.
I do so hope you are soon out of pain with that.
I rememeber when I had a slipped disc in that area how painful it was and it affected my sitting down also which sounds mad I know as you wouldn't think that far up your back it could.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Well done for still hosting this challenge while you are in so much discomfort. I do hope the pain is easing a bit now.
I love the way Sue has used the fairy stamps to link her two die cut corners. That's a very clever design.
And the little dogs with their apt sentiment are really cute.

Fab DT cards - off for a closer look.
Lovely cards, y'all. Thank you for the challenge.
Thanks again for the challenge and motivation to work on my Christmas cards. I hope you are doing well and staying away from the Covid-19.
I am so happy for challenges like this that keep me on track with my Christmas card making. When it's over 90 degrees, it's hard to think about Christmas otherwise! Beautiful cards and inspiration.
lol I felt the same way about those snowflakes on Sue's card - so sad they aren't available any longer. All of the cards today are sooooo creative and fun. Sam's cards really take it to another level being decorated to the hilt inside and out. Sure hope you get to feeling better soon, Mo! A crick in the neck is no fun and I can't imagine having it for a week!!!
Some really great cards from the team, sorry to hear about your problem, hope it sorts itself out PDQ.

I love all the detail on the design team cards. They are just gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration. The weather is heating up so I was thinking cool with my snowflake card. Looks like some of the DT was doing the same. Stay safe please!
Lovely inspiration as always - I shall enjoy popping over to see how they were made. Sorry to hear about your cricked neck Maureen. It can be terribly painful I know. Hope you feel better soon. Vicky x
Hi Maureen
Sorry to read you have hurt your neck. I hope that it sorts itself out quickly for you.
Lovely inspiration from Sue and Sam.
Take care everyone and stay safe.
Love Jules xx
Wonderful cards from the DT. LOVE the snowflake card from Sue --- absolutely gorgeous! And the sweet doggie card from Sam ... laughed when I read the sentiment. And a great second card from Sam with the hidden treasure. So cool! Take care of yourself Maureen. Hope the neck eases up soon. Loll xx

Happy Rudolf Days everyone. Hope you can get a massage soon Mo. Lovely makes from the team. Sam's puppies are soooooooo cute. Take care, stay safe and well. Hugz
Was fun to make a little gingerbread in July... without heating up the kitchen! Thanks again for your wonderful DT cards!
Hello, Maureen! I made it with my Rudolph Day Card - Yay! I don't know what I'd do without your inspiration, so thank you! Your team made some beautiful cards! Sorry that you are in so much pain, and I hope you feel better soon and can get some relief. I was in the same boat but I finally got to see my osteopath last week. Our province has opened things up, maybe a little too quickly for my liking, but I was happy to finally get a treatment for pain. People aren't wearing masks like they should, although the osteopath and I both wore masks at my appointment. Our province has had no cases since June 9 so they have announced the Atlantic Bubble (opening the borders with NB, PEI, and Nfld/Lab) starting July 3. We'll see what happens - the cases have spiked in the U.S. so I hope it doesn't happen here. Brian and I don't take any chances so we're still staying home for the most part.
Congrats Dr , all cards so beautiful 💐👏👏👏👏
Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱💐

Oh no--I hope you're better by now, Maureen! Wow--incredible cards this month!
Sorry to hear you are in more pain than usual, Maureen! Back pain is the worst! Hope you feel better soon.
Fantastic DT cards, as always! I'm playing just for fun, Mo! I'm glad to hear that you are being sensible and staying home! It's not worth the risk to go out! Hugs, Darnell
Always fun. Thanks
awesome inspirations!
I hope you are feeling better now.
stay safe.
hugs xx
Great DT cards Mo! Take care of that neck and stay safely at home!

Sorry for your neck, hope the pain will go away quickly!
Adorable cards from the Dt ladies!
These samples are all so pretty and different from one another. Great inspirations! I am 8 cards behind this year but this challenge helped me get a little less behind. Stay safe!
Wonderful DT cards. Love them all.
Valerija xx

I made it in time once again, great DT cards and a fun challenge, wouldn't miss it.
Oh, dear....I am so sorry for you having a pain in the neck! Ouch. Sometimes those hurt more than other more serious maladies!! Do take care and I hope you are feeling better by now. You take as long as you need before venturing out to mail things. No one is in a hurry and we all want you to be safe.
Lovely work by the ladies, as usual. I esp love Sue's silver snowflakes. Soooo gorgeous!! Both of Sam's cards are so creative! Love the sweet puppies and the fun sentiment! The aperture design is as lovely inside as it is on the outside. Well done both of you gals!!
Thank you for another lovely challenge! Please take gentle care of yourself and get feeling all the way better soon!
