May Rudolph Days Challenge

Hi there. I have great news to share. My shoulders are feeling so much better since the injections! My pain levels are manageable and I have regained shoulder movement and ability. Also, Al had his test results and while they still can not do any surgery for his heart valve issue, he has had his medications changed up. This has increased his energy levels, so he is happy about that. He still has days where he feels exhausted, but they are fewer now and overall he is feeling so much improved.

Our designers have been busy. First up is Sue of Sue's Crafty Corner blog. Once again, Sue has made up multiples of cards for our inspiration! Eight lovely Angel themed cards, if you can believe it!!!
Here is a close up for your viewing pleasure!
I think the angel image is beautiful and looks like Sue has the matching angel die. I really like the differing designs she created. The backgrounds are all so pretty and Sue has used some lovely die cut mats as well. It is hard to pick a favourite. I hope you will follow the hyperlink above and pop by Sue's blog to leave her a comment.

Next up is Jenny at Cardsarus blog. Jenny has made two stunning cards with a wonderful design. I do not know the name of this type of card but will be popping on over to Jenny's blog to read about what they are called, and to find out just how she made them! I hope you will follow the hyperlink above and pop over too. First up is this amazing card featuring sweet kids building a snowman. Lots of traditional colours and red glitter card here! Don't you think this is a great design?
Jenny has made us a second card with this great design. This one features non tradional colours and lots of glitter as well! This card features a very sweet looking angel and Jenny has created a blue background that looks like the sky, so it creates a feeling of the angel flying! I love these two cards and want to give this design a try...
Our prize this month is a Poppy die called Stained Glass Poinsettia.
