June Rudolph Days Challenge

Hi there. Summer is finally here. After a lengthy rainy spat, we now have had lovely sunshine once again. My garden and I are very grateful!

Our designers have been busy creating cards for your inspiration! First up is Sam at Whisper's Cards blog. Sam has made up this very cute vintage looking snowman image into a really sweet card. I love her choice of design papers as that contributes again to the vintage feel! Hope you will follow the hyperlink and pop over and leave Sam some praise.
Next up is Marjeta of Marjeta's Creative Company blog. Marjetta has made up this lovely Christmas scene featuring a comfortable chair beside a cozy fireplace. It looks like just the perfect place to relax in during the busy Christmas season. I love the pretty poinsettia and the greenery too. I hope you will follow the hyperlink above and pop over to leave Marjeta some praise!

Our prize this month is this Penny Black Frame die called Holly Frame.

Happy Rudolph Day to everyone.
ScrappyMo - will you please delete my first entry as I linked the wrong card - we're away at the moment without wi-fi so linking with my phone and technology got the better of me!
Thank you, Kath

Great DT cards and a lovely prize. My garden could definitely do with some rain, as the water butts are empty and I’m having to use the hosepipe!

Jenny L said...

Hi Maureen,
glad you have had some rain at last it really makes the garden look fab doesn't it.
We in my part of Kent have hose pipe ban yet again this summer as it hasn't rained very often.
Not that I have a hose pipe as I don't have an outside tape as my kithchen is in the front of my bungalow.
Will be popping over to give some love to the DT on their wonderful card designs.
Hope all is well at your house and with your family too.
Lots of crafty love and hugs Jenny L.

And so my Christmas stash grows... thanks Maureen, and Same and Marjeta for their lovely card inspiration, Robyn

Becca Sadler said...

These are terrific Christmas scenery cards!!! Between having 90-100 degree days this past weekend and now having smoke-filled air from Canadian wildfires affecting Illinois, I'm ready for a few days of crisp cold air for some relief!!!! Seriously, I appreciate the fun way you remember to take time to make Christmas cards throughout the year! --- Becca

Denise Bryant said...

Wonderful cards from Sam and Marjeta!
I used a brand new die for my card. Couldn't resist picking up a few dies on a great sale I came across at a craft store a couple of days ago!
Fabulous die set for the prize! Thanks for the opportunity, as well as the encouragement to make another Christmas card to add to my stash!

Well, better late than never I guess. I don't get notification of your posts anymore to remind me of the date.
Our summer has arrive with a vengence and it is in the upper 30's here now so I am too hot to think of anything properly!
But I am glad I remembered just in time as I haven't missed a month for a few years now. As usual I am only playing along and I shall enjoy having a browse through everyone's creations now. Kate x

Ooh, Happy Rudolf Days everyone. It's hot here but I have managed a few Christmas cards this month. Watering the garden and starting to pick a few veggies. Take care and thanks for the inspiration. Hugz

I had fun making a non-traditional holiday card... with a cowboy theme! Boy Howdy!
(PS With the amount of smoke here in the Midwest, I can't even imagine how hard it is to live closer to the fires. Please know that I am holding you in my prayers!)
