It is time for the Rudolph Days Challenge and I am looking forward to seeing all your lovely cards and Christmas projects! Don't forget to leave a comment on this post, as it comes in handy to use that to contact you if there is a problem with your Mr Linky entry. We do try to visit every entry, but sometimes we are not able to leave a comment. Some blogs seem to not allow comments for some reason.
Our designers and I have been busy creating some inspiration for you.
First up is Jenny L at Cardsarus blog. Jenny has made us two beautiful snowflake cards! The first has a a white snowflake backed with a stunning blue colour. The blue is also used for the background mat and the stamped sentiment colour. The snowflake is a lovely large one and really catches the eye!
Her second card is another version of the first but this time the blue takes center stage as both the snowflakes main colour, as well as the main colour of the accent pieces. Jenny's cards are always pretty on the inside too...if you pop over to her blog you will sxee what I mean. I hope you will leave her a comment while you are there.
Next up is Linda at Snail's Space blog. Linda has also made us two cards. These are such adorable cards with the cutest wee critters. While her darling reindeer take center stage, Linda has chosen snowflakes for her secondary theme. She and Jenny must have had snowflakes on their minds! I love the design papers that Linda has chosen and think these cards are so adorable. The sentiment looks like an Elizabeth die that I own as well. I love these slim Elizabeth dies as they are handy to tuck in when I forget to plan a space for a sentiment! I can not wait to check on Linda's blog to read how she created these cute wee critters. I hope you will pop over there too and leave her some nice comments.
My card is an image that I stamped quite some time ago. Better to have it on a card rather than lying about in a container of sorts! The design papers were snippets from my Christmas snippets file. That was the last snippet of the greenish piece. It always feels so good to use the last snippet of anything! I think I have one other full sheet left though, so you may still see this design paper on another card some time.
Since the image was stamped onto kraft card, I was a bit stumped as to how I would create snow. I finally decided to use Stardust stickles painted on with a fine tipped artist brush. That brush allowed me to get the stickles right up to the edges of the image! I think the frame die is Tutti Designs, and I coated it with the same stickles to give that Christmas snowy, icy feeling.
Our prize this month is this Memory Box Snowman Circle Collage die.
Happy Rudolph Days everyone and thanks for all the great inspiration! You've all helped me get into full Christmas mode earlier than usual. Mo, your sleigh ride card is just beautiful with the shadow stamping and diagonally striped frame! Thanks for all you do!
I am always inspired by the entries in the Rudolph Days challenges. So that is indeed a plus besides getting me to make my Christmas cards. I reached #30 this time and still have at least 70 to go. So I need to get even more busy with the production. I love all the cards the design team have made too! So much talent!
Hi Maureen, just popped over to Linda's blog to leave her some love on those wonderful cards. Your card this month is beautifully created and image is gorgeous. Perfect pattern background as well. I do so hope all is well with you and your family. Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
The sample cards are all absolutely gorgeous. Love the snowflakes and the cute little reindeer peeking over the edge.
We done on using the last snippet of a sheet. I agree it is very satisfying even if you know you still have a sheet of the same paper
I have a plastic box which holds my Christmas paper snippets and I am torn between sorting them by colour or leaving them as I quite like rifling though them. I know my normal snippets are organised by colour and I do use them a lot more as they are easier to find..... decisions decisions ;)
Stay Happy, Healthy and Creating Joy especially if you can use your snippets
Lovely cards by the DT from icy cold blues to your rich warm reds and greens, with Linda's cute reindeer in the middle :). Thank you for the challenge x
I'm not sure I've EVER used the very last snippet Maureen! It must have been a wonderful feeling! Lovely inspiration as always and I like your tip about applying stickles with a brush. Vicky x
I need to get better at using my stamped images too. I have them stored in a container, but most of the time I forget about them. *ooops* The DT provided such lovely creations as the inspirations. Thank you ladies! xx
I always look forward to this challenge, and to seeing what the DT comes up with. That's wonderful to see the older stamped image turned into a card Maureen. I have a lot of those odds and ends, and extra images that are just waiting to be used as well.
You've all three made amazing designs again this month! Thank you for the inspiration! Well done adding the stickles to your classic card, Mo! I'm playing just for fun! Hugs, Darnell
Hi Maureen, I am having trouble commenting on entries No 18, 19, 20,21, Flicker won't accept my password even though it's right, and I have had warnings about the others. Blooming Windows is a pain and blogger has been plaing up today too. Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Maureen, I am getting a lot of Secure Coneection Failed when commenting. So I don't think my comments went through to some people. Also Blogger keeps doing silly things when I go to publish my comment. Are you having the same probs. Flicker still won't take my password either and I know it's the right one as I have used it before when commenting. Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Thank you for this month's Rudolph Day Challenge and gorgeous inspiration! I am happy to be able to join again this month! I'm doing great so far this year, haven't missed one yet! So grateful for your inspiration!

Thanks for another great Rudolph challenge. I see that one of your team members used a darling little Rudolph on her card.
