Rudolph Day - January 2012

Every 25th of the month is Rudolph Day and your chance to make a Christmas card ready for next Christmas - more if you wish! More details at the end of this posting. I almost got caught out so rustled up three cards all the same yesterday:
Whilst tidying in here, making some room to craft without having to kneel on the floor, I found some stash that I hadn't put away from before Christmas so used that. Rubbish photo - by the time I'd finished the light was going :(

I used:

- 6" x 6" square white card

- image and backing papers from the Forever Friends Timeless paper pack (bought in Hobbycraft)

- pearlised mink and white card - also from Hobbycraft - for the backings

- sentiment from Craftwork Cards

- snowflakes from a pack made by KanBan

- a teensy little diamante gem at the top of the Christmas tree in front of the cottage - from a pack of nail art gems bought in the local Pound Shop ages ago (not for my nails either - I wondered if they'd come in handy one day for crafting)

Why not join in the fun, make a Christmas card and hop over to Sandra's blog, Stamping For Pleasure to see what she made and also to link in 'cos there's a prize too :))

Have fun!

Di

    Hello Di, great card - love the topper and the non-traditional colour choice. And, the more goodies used up the less need to store them away - saves a job really :) Elizabeth x

    That is such a beautiful card, Di. I love the soft colours. If that is rustled up, I want lessons in rustling. xx Maggie

    Thanks for your comment on my Snippet card. I have now entered it into the Rudolf Day Challenge. By the way, I can't work out how to get links into comments either. Really must have a go at that and sort it. xx Maggie
