Christmas Kickstart Challenge #31 - Wreathed in Christmas Smiles!


Welcome to another fun challenge here at Christmas Kickstart and I hope that you are all hanging on in there during these times of Lockdown and Social Distancing. A big thank you to everyone who played along with Jane and I for Challenge #30, we'll be back with the challenge results within the next few days.

I'm delighted welcome a new elf for the month of May and it's another long term blogging buddy of mine: Robyn O from Queensland, Australia. I think I first got to know Robyn through the Hero Arts Flickr Group (plus the original incarnation of Card Chain Challenge), and I've always been a fan of her gorgeous cards.


"Hi from sunny Queensland, Australia where I live with hubby, son and 4 cats.  I fell in love with rubber stamping 25 years ago and it just grew from one Happy Birthday stamp and a Colorbox ink pad, to a whole array of “stuff”.. wow how much has card making changed in that time... I am addicted.  I share my time with my garden, crochet – I’d better stop there... I love most handcrafts!! ...  and spending time with our family and two gorgeous granddaughters whom we miss seeing at the moment.  Great to have a craft and enough supplies to last forever in these tough isolating times... Stay Safe and Happy cardmaking...Robyn."

Thanks, Robyn, it's great to have you here!

Our challenge is:

Challenge #31 - Wreathed in Christmas Smiles!

We'd like to see a Christmas wreath or wreaths on your card.


Aren't they stunning? Robyn has used a robin (love that) and one wreath 'points' up and one down - what a clever way to achieve two very different looks!


Rudolph has come up with a gorgeous Random Raffle prize for this challenge:


Just look at all those lovely Christmas sentiments. Nice one, Rudolph.

Robyn and I really hope you'll come and play along with this challenge!

  6. Yay...I got a card made for your challenge!! Wreaths are a great theme. I even had a stamp I was itching to use for it.
    A big welcome to Guest Elf, Robyn! The robin on her lovely card is so sweet and appropriate. :)
    Beautiful die cut wreath, Jo. Love the dimension the layers give.
