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.

Jenny these are gorgeous.
Stunning Idea . Jenny , as always your cards are gorgeous. What a great gift too. Hugs Rita xxx
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.
Yes, like Mary can you hear me as well across the ocean.....these are just GORGEOUS...Love them and fab idea with the bag to go with them....I think I need to leave DT to enjoy my card making like this Jenny...brilliant.xxxThe Journey is the Start
