It is once again time for the Rudolph Days Challenge. You have till midnight on the last day of this month to enter a Christmas themed card or project. Remember to leave a comment on this post and perhaps visit a couple of the other entries, just for the fun of it!
Jenny is first up with two cards for our inspiration! The first is a very sweet gnome themed card. Gnomes are sure popular and Jenny's card are aways a treat. Her grouping of gnomes with falling snow look so lovely. I really like the sentiment greeting with the glitter card insert behind.
Jenny's second card is a fun, cheery card that brings instant memories of sitting with a treasured friend sharing a cuppa and a gingerbread cookie. I am sure ready to do that again this year! I hope you will pop over to Jenny's blog and leave her some love. If you do, you will get to see what wonderful ideas she has used for the inside of her cards. Jenny always makes the inside just as lovely as the fronts!
I have made up three scenic cards. I had three already stamped images left in my unfinished drawer. I tried various sky backgrounds with chalk, and chose to leave two of the cards uncoloured apart from the sky. The third card I coloured up with copic green shades and then matted them all with a mirri card mats. The background treed design paper is unknown as it was selected a long time ago when these images originally went into the unfiinished pile. I have managed to lose the scrap of paper I had the manufacturer on. Even the sentiments were chosen from my already stamped or unused sentiment packets.
Our prize this month is this Spellbinders Christmas Blooms cutting die.
Great inspiration cards! Thank you! This year I haven't joined Rudolph Days as often as I wanted to. Moving to a new place and health problems made things work a bit different fo me. I wish you a blessed Christmas time!
Your pre-stamped images made for 3 great Christmas cards Mo. Happy Rudolph Day for the last time this year. Thanks for all the months of inspiration to help us get our Christmas cards made in time! Cheers!

Fabulous inspirational cards, love the gnomes and of course gingerbread men are always cute, and wow you sure worked with your stash, fab. job. I worked with a "fail" and after a couple of days it didn't look so bad so I finished it and I'm so early I will probably forget I entered. LOL.

Two lovely cards from Jenny, and the one full of fun gnomes is a delight! Lovely scenic cards from you, they are so peaceful, such beautiful images! Love the paper used for the base layer too.
Your cards are so elegant, Jo. I love them colored and uncolored. And the winter scene is so beautiful! And you can't ever go wrong with gingers, gnomies & a snowman!! Jenny outdid herself as usual.
Such a nice set of inspiration cards. And I love the die set, too. I hope you get to enjoy the next month with all the treats and joys it brings! Kathy aka myasperations
Hello, Maureen! Long time, no see! I think this is only the second or third time I've been able to join this year, maybe the first time, who can remember? Anyway, I'm happy to join you this month! Your scenic cards are beautiful, and Jenny's gnomes and gingers are adorable! I am partial to the gingers, so cute! Thanks for the challenge and the gorgeous inspiration! Wishing you all the best this holiday season!
So happy to see cards you made, Maureen--& I absolutely love them! Beautiful & peaceful--perfect for Christmas! Jenny's cards are darling! Happy Holidays! PS--fabulous prize this month!
Beautiful cards from Jenny, I particularly love all the gnomes, and who can resist a gingerbread man..gingerbread biscuits are my favourite, and then your gorgeous winter scenes Maureen, just beautiful. I am sorry I have not been a good player of the challenge of late, but will try to get myself together better from the new year, as I do miss the cards that I made by entering. I hope Al is doing OK and that the steroid injections have made things better for you. I hope you and Al have a lovely Christmas. x
Great inspiration cards! Thank you!
