The Christmas Kickstart Challenge

So, November it is! Not long now until it's Fa La La La La all the way!

We've got a FUN challenge over at Christmas Kickstart this month where I'm joined by one of my favourite people: the lovely Gail from CraftyNomad.

Our Theme for this month is:

Wise Men Three

I thought I'd struggle with this challenge, but actually it's proved to be great fun and I was surprised just how many stamps I found in my stash that matched the theme.

My first card features a trio of gorgeous images from LOTV. Sadly, this set is as old as the hills and no longer available, but you can still find beautiful LOTV digis here. 

My second card is a fun one using a very cute stamp from Little Claire Designs. Once again, it's an oldie and one I love to colour as the cats are so beautifully drawn. 

Rudolph's Random Raffle Prize for this challenge is this sweet little penguin set: 

 

Gail and I both hope you'll come and play along with our challenge!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #69 - If It's Christmassy, Link It Up!

A very happy December to you all... Are you ready for the final Christmas Kickstart Challenge of 2022?

It's that time of year again. All the elves have gone home and it's just Rudolph and me pottering around Kickstart HQ and doing those last minute festive jobs.

This is our final challenge for 2022 and it's our traditional nice and easy, anything goes challenge...

Challenge #69 - If It's Christmassy, Link It Up!

Just link up any Christmas cards you want to. Yes, it's as simple as that! 

Here's what I made for this challenge...

I love this sweet Anita Jerman cat, and had such fun putting this card together. I stencilled a watercoloured background with embossing paste and added a cute sentiment. Do you like the little pom-pom on his hat?

I was on a bit of a roll with festive felines, so I made this card. The image is by Little Claire Designs, which appears to have closed. The sentiment is a fav which appears to have been retired in the MFT store. I think this link takes you to a site where they still have sets available. 

Rudolph is in dah house with his final Random Raffle Prize of the year.

 

So please drop by and join the fun!

Naughty or Nice Challenge #42 - On the Move!

It's August... And while I'm slightly amazed that we've slipped into another month, I'm delighted this means a brand new challenge for you over at Naughty or Nice!

This month our theme is 'On the Move' as this seems to be the time when many people are moving house, going on holiday or moving to a new school or job. This theme is kind of open ended, and the Troublemakers would love to see how you interpret it. And, for a little added fun, we're also offering a pretty colour combo option. It's an optional option, so don't feel that you have to create something with this colour palette, but it's there if you'd like to use it!

For my August offering I knew I wanted a VW Camper van, because if these little beauties don't shout 'Summer fun' I don't know what does!

I found this cute digi at Little Claires and, while it is a little sweetie, I do wish it enlarged without going fuzzy and losing clarity. I die-cut the word 'Happy' after colouring and then added some Diamond Glaze to empathise the words. Quite honestly, I'm not all that happy with how the 'Happy' turned out, but perhaps I'm just being picky. The prettily patterned Washi tape finishes the card with a hint to the British Summer (if only it did rain such beautifully coordinated drops it might not seem so bad!).

Head on over to see what my teamies have created and to join in the fun!
