Wednesday .. and also Rudolph Day!

Morning readers,

Today is the 25th of the month, and is designated (by us crafters) as Rudolph Day, a day when we aim to complete a Christmas project towards the upcoming Christmas and today is no different - here is the make I'd like to share with you today ... strangely enough (in light of recent posts) it's NOT a batch, just a one off! I'm happy to say that my recent batches HAVE allowed me to get back on track with my Christmas card quota so I can revert to my preferred method of Christmas crafting ... one of a kind card making.

My C6 card

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in white and red, for my card front, insert and matting
• Woodware image (from JGS850) stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
• Copic markers used to colour image
• Elsewhere on the card and envelope I just used red and orange glitter markers to add colour to the hat and nose of my snowman
• MFT sentiment (from CS.723) stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
• Crystal stickles to add some bling to my snowie

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Rudolph Day challenges - Sept challenge - ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES
2. Addicted to Stamps - challenge No. 477 - CHRISTMAS
3. Krafty Chicks - challenge No. 734 - CAS (Clean And Simple)
4. CRAFT - challenge No. 733 - CHRISTMAS
5. Peace on Earth - challenge No. 72 - ANYTHING GOES or PHOTO INSPIRATION - see below

Now, I'm not saying that I am obsessed by Christmas but ..... it would appear that I  just MAY be (a little)!! How do I know this? Surrogate Daughter #2 sent me a photo of some Christmas wrap she bought at Costco last week ..... we went later in the week and I had already said "I DO NOT need any Christmas wrap" - hmmm, look how that worked out ...., right?!?!?!

36m of wrapping paper I probably didn't need,
and it's double sided too, but just too pretty to NOT buy
