MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.... CHALLENGE 161.............WINTER ANIMALS

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

Sorry I havn't visited your bloggs, clearing up after my new windows and doors has been quite a challenge.

Also it was my theme on the MAWTT Challenge last month and my DT for the Rudolf too.

So with all the commenting, and also I have been asked to make cards for quite a few people and you know I can't say no to anyone, I just haven't had time to visit you.

I was also quite up on my own Christmas cards and had to give them to a friend who needed them so I am rushing through making more.

So I feel I have been pulled all ways like one of those rubber toys you pull and make larger.

Well that said it's the first of the month and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

The lovely Tinz is your host for this months challenge and she would like to see 

WINTER ANIMALS

on your creations please.

The challenge runs from today till the 30th of December 2023.

Now I struggled with this theme as to what is a winter Animal, finally I thought I would just go with an Animal in a winters setting.

So here is what I came up with.

 

 

The first card is a 7"x7" size.

The second card is a A5 size.

My friend  gave me these kits of Pollyanna Pickering images that I used for my cards.

These kitts had inserts which I used on the inside of the 7" one and the A5 one was used from the inserts completely except for the sentiment.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make especially as I haven't visited you.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

 

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE DT CARDS................NOVEMBER 2023

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.

It's been all go at my bungalow as I have had new windows and doors fitted, so the craft room was packed up for this.

Lots of cleaning afterwards still not finished it all.

 

So as today is the 25th of the month it's time for the last Rudolf Days Challenge of the year over at

As always it's anything goes

 as long as it's Christmas. 

The challenge runs from today till the end of the month.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON

but you may put more than one creation on your post if you like.

So here is 2 quick makes I managed to make when my craft room was nearly up and running again.

These are both 8"x8" size cards.

The first one I used some wooden gnomes I bought from Amazon these were also for a Christmas tree but I cut of the string and used some small snowballs to cover the holes.

The paper was a Carnation Crafts download.

Glitter card from Tonic, I used the waste of a sentiment I cut out and put a snippet of glitter card behind it for my sentiment.

The second card I used some Gingerbread items bought from Amazon, I think they are for use on a Christmas tree as they have holes in the top and some string that came with them.

Snowflakes cut off a roll of them from Amazon again and I added some bling to the centres.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I am hoping she will soon be on the mend after the surgery.

 

 

This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit it.

The paper I bought from Etsy which has such beautiful flowers on so I decided to fussy cut some out and decoupage them.
