Hi and welcome to cardsarus blog spot My name is Jenny Lawrence and I live in Kent. My dear and wonderful husband Tony passed away in March 2019 We had been married for 36 years. I also lost my first Husband to the big C when I was quite young. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Granddaughters and 3 Great Grandsons. I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies. I have made my own clothes, knitted garments, hand embroidered items of clothing, and crocheted items too. I love to bake my own cakes as well.

RUDOLF DAY AUGUST 2014

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
I do hope you are having a good BH weekend, 
and the weather has been kind to you.

Thank you kindly for all your comments on my 
work, I very much appreciate every one.

Now today starts the August Rudolf challenge.
which runs from the 25th of the month to the 
end of the month.
You need to make 2 Christmas Cards to join in.
I had a light bulb moment about 3 days before
this challenge, while sitting on the bed enjoying
my first cuppa of the morning.
My Son about 2 years ago bought me a Pandora
bracelet, and ever since my daughter and my
granddaughter have bought me a charm to go 
on it.
So anyone who collects these knows you get a
lovely box inside a lovely bag.
Well I decided to use the bag to house 6 little
cards.
So here is my entry to the challenge.





The size of the cards is just under 5"x5"
I used a Poinsettia wooden stamp for the 
background paper, and Fired Brick Distress
Ink.
I used Pine Needles Distress Ink to stamp
the Poinsettias, and coloured them in with the
Fired Brick Distress Ink and a brush.
The sentiment I'm sure you know is an LOTV
one.
I used some snippets from my snippets box to 
stamp some of these.

Thank you again for your precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

Can you hear me saying "WOW, WOW, WOW"? Love these poinsettias, and what a fab job you did with the coloring. Brillant idea to recycle your gift bags as you did for the lovely card, and your recipient is going to know they've received such a beautiful gift. And you didn't just make one, but a multitude!!! WTGo. You could share the goodies in the craft room and teach me some design tricks too! What fun we'd have. TFS & Hugs. I hope you are now feeling much improved with the back problem. Have a great week ahead.
