RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE...................JANUARY 2018


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

My legs have been playing up, and I have not been sleeping too well, and kept falling asleep every time I tried to use my computer perhaps I should try that at night when I can't sleep. LOL. 

Today is the start of the first 
 RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE of the year over at 
SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG .
Now this month isn't my turn to post a DT card, but I always post a card to remind you all, and as Maureen says I can enter my card on the months I'm not on the DT so here is my card.

  

 This is a 8"x8" size card.
The centre is from a re-cycled card I had the year before last, and didn't want to throw it away.
Just added some Crafters Companion Pearl Sparkly Diamond Spray on it to make it lustre which doesn't show up too well on the blog.
I used my Crafters Companion Embossing folder again.
The blue glitter card is non shed from the pound shop.
Finally I made my flowers, and added some pearly snowflakes.

 Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

 I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

    It's gorgeous Jenny, the deep blue contrasts so beautifully with the white, fabulous embossing and die cuts...and recycling too!
    Hope your legs stop misbehaving...it's awful when you can't sleep.
    hugs

    Sorry to hear you are suffering with your legs...my father-in-law had that problem. He used to have a special mat and had to avoid caffeine, alcohol and smoking. He was not a smoker so that was easy to avoid but he found decaffeinated tea and coffee not to his liking!

    Your card is beautiful. I love the bight colour of the non shed glitter paper. We have that here for $2.00 at the dollar store, but the colours are more pastel tones and not vivid at all.

    The pearl snowflakes, satin white flowers and beautiful bow all make this upcycled card front fabulous.

    Thanks for taking part in the January Rudolph Days Challenge.

    Wonderful card Jenny and I love the blue + white colour combo.
    Sorry to hear you're not feeling well and hope that things get better soon. When I use the laptop in the evening my eyelids start dropping but as soon as I get into bed I'm suddenly wide awake again xx

    My legs have been driving me crazy too Jenny and I end up not sleeping well either. I get up and take Tylenol Arthritis, it helps take the edge off so I can sleep some. Yes, the computer puts me to sleep too! lol I am loving this beautiful Christmas card! That blue glitter paper is stunning and I love the white embossed piece too. Those little pearl flowers are just so pretty and perfect on this card. I love that die cut too! So funny because I didn't realize that we had the same last name! lol Hugs, Brenda
