February Rudolph Days Challenge

Hi there. Do you know what time it is? It's Rudolph Days Challenge time! Enter a Christmas card or Christmas project you have created and you will have a chance at winning a lovely prize. You can enter your card or project into a total of ten challenges, including this one. Don't forget to leave a comment here.

We are welcoming our newest design team member this month. A big welcome to Marjeta of Marjeta's Creative Company blog. Marjeta has coloured this fun Christmas gnome and made it up into a lovely card for our inspiration. I love the vibrancy of the colouring and beautiful shading here. Hope you will pop over to Marjeta's blog and leave her some praise. You can hit the translate button to get an English version.

Here is the image as Marjeta was colouring it...so pretty!
Next up is Sam at Whispers Cards blog Sam has made up two beautiful cards using the same general design but featuring differing snowflake background die cuts and differing colour schemes. They are both so lovely! The first card is a lovely lavender creation. The large snowflake frame behind the adorable snowman is lovely with the multi pastel coloured snowflake design paper behind. Sets the perfect scene for the little fellow.
The second blue schemed version features an intricate diecut snowflakes background. It looks stunning in that glitter paper!!! With the addition of the extra overlaid snowflake, it makes a perfect backdrop for the sweet little snowman! The "snow" at the bottom of the wee snowman looks true to life...Lots of layers here and all so well done! I can not pick a fave of the two colour schemes as they are both my faves!
No update on Al yet. He has had the new heart ultrasound and other tests they needed, and he is awaiting a call from the specialist to book an appointment for the reuslts. Will update soon as we know. Our prize this month is this lovely LDRS Creative Layered Pointettia Die.
