July Rudolph Days Challenge

It seems this month flew by, and now it is time for the July Rudolph Days Challenge. Seems so hard to believe that summer is more than half way over. We have had some lovely hot days (and nights), and today (and hopefully tomorrow) brings some much needed rain. My garden sure enjoyed the good soaking as all my plants look a little perkier now. At the moment, we have over 500 wildfires burning here in British Columbia, so the rain will hopefully be a bonus for the firefighters!

Our design team has been busy creating beautiful cards for our inspiration. First up is Sue from Sues Crafty Corner Blog

Sue has made some beautiful cards...multiples as always! Sue has chosen such a great image for the feature of her cards. I wonder just what those adorable mice will get up to! Great colours and such a lovely hand stamped border background! Well done, Sue! I hope you will all take a moment and follow the hyperlink on her blog name above, and pop over to her blog to leave her some praise for these beauties.


Next up is Jenny at Cardsarus blog. Jenny has made beauitful cards for us too! Jenny has used a great design that calls for scraps of glitter card that have been diecut or punched into circles, and then stacked and shaped to resemble a Christmas tree. I love the way she decorated all the circles. I must say, Jenny has an amazing Christmas button collection! I hope you will follow the hyperlink on her blog name and pop over to leave Jenny some praise.
Our prize this month is this Memory Box Holly die bundle.

So sorry for all the fires in your zone, poor animals, trees and Nature all... and poor people obviously... Praying for rain!
Fabulous cards for inspirations!

Some lovely cards from the DT. I do hope you get some rain soon and the fires don't get any worse.

So sorry to hear about the fires. Great DT cards as always. I'm just playing along for fun.

Sue's cards are so cute and Jenny's are fun. She sure does have some lovely buttons. A great way to use up some left over glitter card too. As usual I am only playing.
I hope your wild fires are soon under control. We have had a few around us and everyewhere is tinder dry, but at least we are spared the horrors that Greece is experiencing, so far anyway. Kate x

Lovely cards from the DT! This is my first time playing here and I tickled that I finally managed to get my card entered right at the start instead of missing the deadline altogether. :-D
Praying that the wildfires end and that all are safe.

Becca Yahrling said...

Wow, I am so impressed with the cards today! Can't believe Sue made three of these wonderfully colored & designed cards. Gorgeous! And Jenny's cards are so fun and whimsical. L*O*V*E the use of all those buttons (that I'm sure we all have in our stash!). I'll be back with a link up soon!! (And praying for those wildfires to get under control asap!!).

Yay, I finally started my Christmas cards this month. Beautiful DT inspirations.

The rain yesterday and today in the lower mainland is such a welcome sight. Unfortunately, the other parts of the province that truly needed didn’t get much.

Denise Bryant said...

Really fun card ideas from Sue and Jenny! Working on my card design now!
Hoping for rain to help with those fires!

Lovely cards from Sue and Jenny. They have both been very busy! Thank you for the challenge.

Carol L said...

Those wildfires are frightening and the firefighters are amazing human beings for all they do! Hopefully you soon get the much needed rain. The DT has made some very cute cards for inspiration this month, well done ladies! Playing just for fun since I already own this die set :) Happy Rudolph Day!

Pat said...

Sorry to be absent for quite a time Mo, and have vowed to start adding to my Christmas card stash so will hopefully be more in evidence up to Christmas. I have read through the posts and see that Al has improved with his changed meds which is great, and sorry you had all that pain with your shoulder after the procedure but glad that it sounds as though it is much better now. I hope the wildfires will subside soon! Fabulous makes from Sue and Jenny this time..very inspiring. x

KathyA. said...

Such great inspiration cards. I also agree with Pat (above) and hope that the wildfires subside soon. I live in Wisconsin and can't believe how smokey it has been here so often in the last few weeks. So I can't imagine how hard this for those of you who live closer to the fires. Mo, please know that your friends from all over the world care about you and many of us are praying for you, too.
