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.
Well, we had 42 fabulous entries! So far, I have made it round to visit about a third of the entries. Did not get any further as I had my left shoulder injected with steroid this week. I will then get the right side done on Nov 8th, and shortly after, I should be feeling one heck of a lot better. I actually had a card made to post, but was trying not to type too much, so left it off...
I used Random Org to choose our winner #41 Irene M.
Irene, please drop me an email to maureenkane@telus.net and let me know your mailing address.
It is time to post your entries for the October Rudaolph Days Challenge.
As always, our designers have been working hard to inspire you.
First up is Sam at Whispers Cards blog. Sam has made two gorgeous cards featuring quilled poinsettias. These flowers are stunning! I know they must have been so much work to make, but it was so worth that time investment.
I also really like the difference in the style of the two cards. The first has a lovely vintage feel, thanks to the design papers that Sam chose.
Sam's second card is a modern design and is stunning too! The poinsettia pops off the page on this design. Well done, Sam! I hope you will all head on over to Sam's blog using the hyperlink above. You will read about how she created these cards, and while you are there you can leave her some love.
Here is a photo of the inside of Sam's second card...
Next up is Marjeta from Marjeta's Creative Company blog.Marjeta has also made us two fabulous cards. The first is really cute. The band is so adorable and well coloured up too! I can not help but wonder just which Christmas carol they are singing! It looks as there may be several layers in this card. Why don't we follow the hyperlink above and head on over to Marjeta's blog to read all about it. Leave her some love while you are there...
Marjetas second card has the sweetest snowmen. It is very cute and so much fun. The crisp and clean look of this card is so lovely!
