RUDOLF CHALLENGE......APRIL 2016

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing, but my Daughter was on holiday from work last week, so my Daughter, Myself, and my Granddaughter had a lovely week enjoying each others company, and doing some shopping as us girls like to do.
We had a wonderful time.

So today is the start of Aprils Rudolf Challenge.
This runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month on Scrappymo's Blog HERE
All you have to do to enter is make a Christmas card, and enter it into the Challenge. 
It is a really fab way of getting some of your Christmas cards made.
So here is mine for this month.



This card is 8"x7" in size.
I drew around the largest die in the Sue Wilson Double Pierced Rectangles die, and then cut out my layers.
I used the Sue Wilson embossing folder Swirling Holly in the center, and used a gilding wax on it.
I stamped the design around the frame with Pine Needles DI.
Not happy with how it came out, but tried every way to get the design stamp, and the sentiment stamp to stamp better, but they must be faulty or something or maybe that's just how they are supposed to be.

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

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

SNIPPETS CHALLENGE CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
May I welcome my newest followers, and thank 
you so much for choosing to follow me, and I do hope to see you as often as you can manage it.

Thank you soooooo! much for patience with my
commenting.
I shall try, and get round to most of it tonight, and
tomorrow night as I have to look after my 2
Grand Children tomorrow.
No baking though as Mum says they will all be
getting fat if we keep making such delicious cakes.

Yesterday was very busy, as the fete was from 
12pm to 4pm, and then afterwards my daughter
had invited us to a barbecue at her house.
So I was exhausted when we arrived home. 

Now on Tuesday it's the Rudolf Challenge again
and this snippets card came from the waste of
what I made for that challenge.
So I am so pleased I can join in the antics at the
playground this week with it.



This is a A5 size card.
Cream base card.
Black, and Creative Expressions Vintage Gold
card stock.
I used the Sue Wilson Embossing Folder 
Swirling Holly.
The inside sentiment is a stamped one heat 
embossed with old gold embossing powder. 

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

I would like to join in the following challenges
with this.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE CARD FOR APRIL 2015

Hi and welcome to my part of blog land, all my
very talented friends, and visitors.

Sorry I have been missing for a day or so, but
I have had some sad news from my eldest sister,
and didn't feel much like blogging.
You may remember those of you who have known me longer, that she had a brain tumor about 5
years ago and came through that okay except for
lots of meds she has to take.
Well now she has told me she has bowl cancer.
So lets hope the outcome of this op when she has
it turns out as good.
Her hubby had a similar op about 15 years ago,
and has been fine ever since.
I don't know they have had their fare share of
health probs between them, especially my sister.

Today I have my card for the Rudolf Challenge
for April, which starts on the 25th of each 
month and ends on the end of the month.
It's a jolly good way of making your Christmas
cards before the rush at the end of the year.
If you would like to join us, details of the 
challenge at the bottom of my post.




This is a 8"x8" size card.
Not really pleased with the result of this card.
I used the Sue Wilson embossing folder 
Swirling Holly for the background.
The poinsettia is a made from the Sizzix Die
called Susan Garden.
Should have made it with paper not card as I 
am not happy with it, so memo to ones self to
use paper next time.

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

CHRISTMAS CARD IN PINK

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Thank your for your visit, and comments.
I very much appreciate them all.

I have been having a few lower back problems
for the last 3 days.
So I am so sorry if I haven't commented as much
as I should have.
I have been trying to rest it as much as possible, but on seeing a challenge that gives $4 for each card entered into the challenge, in aid of Breast
Cancer, how could I not make a card to go into
this fab challenge.
I have just made it too as the challenge closes at
6pm.
They wanted to see pink in their Christmas Cards
so here is my version.





This is a 8"x8" size card.
I embossed my card with the Sue Wilson
embossing folder Swirling Holly.
The sentiment is a digi pre- coloured image from
Pink Gems.
The little white poinsettias were made with a
die I won at the Snippets playground.
I used a double sided sticky sheet, and some 
Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels Glacier Ice on
them.
Now I used up lots of snippets for making the 
poinsettias, leaves, and the pine bough die.
So I will trot off to the snippets playground with this.

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