October Rudolph Days Challenge

Hi there. Once again, it is time for the Rudolph Days Challenge. Don't forget, it is one entry only, and you can combine your entry with up to nine other challenges if you like. Leave a comment on this blog post, and you are set to go! This post will be short and sweet today as I have been dealing with an abcessed tooth issue and had an infection in the bone. Had the second half of some root canal work on it today, and just want to sleep now! 2 and 1/2 hours in the dental chair today for the second time on two weeks.

Sam at Whispers Cards has made a beautiful card for our inspiration. I love the die she used. It is really eye catching! The gold mirri wreath with pointsettia accents is so pretty, and is sure set off by the one larger layered poinsettia that just pops off the card. Sam has done a beautiful job on this card and I hope you will pop on over to her blog here at Whispers Cards and leave her some lovely praise!
My card is another upcycled card. My friend loves Daschunds so I upcycled this sweet pup into a card for her. The kraft paper is a matte finish and the printed design has a bit of a shimmery surface. The small gold snowflakes are gold embossed. Super simple, but at least it is another one finished up!

Our prize this month is this Studio Light poinsettia die, SL-SJ-CD50

Oh no, Maureen, sorry to read about your dental issue and I hope you feel better soon! That's a long time in the dental chair! Thank you for another Rudolph Day to inspire us with making our Christmas cards! Sam's card is absolutely gorgeous and your upcycled dachschund is just adorable! I'll be back later this week with my card! Feel better!

Hi Maureen.
so sorry to hear about your mouth health issues not a nice thing to suffer with and I bet so much pain as well as the dreaded dentist chair for so long.
Lets hope you are having a nice rest and are out of pain very soon.
Love the Dachound card it's so gorgeous and such a lovely image of that sweet little dog in his Santa hat.
Will pop over to Sam's blog and leave her some love after this.
So glad she used that die it reminds me I haven't used mine yet.
Lots of crafty love and hugs. Jenny L.

Oh, you poor thing, tooth pain is the pits! Hope you feel much better soon. I am sliding in to enter my card before the kids go trick-or-treating and love all the DT cards.

Karenladd said...

I've had my share of dental woes so I feel for you Maureen. Hope you can get it taken care of real soon and are back to full health.

Lia said...

Hi Mo!
I am so sorry about your dental problems (I know how that feels!) and hope it will turn out fine.
And the second sorry: I entered with 2 cards and that's so stupid of mine. You can skip one of the cards. I tried myself but that does not work I'm afraid...
Wishing you all the best,
Lia xx
