Welcome back! It's December and nearly time for the Festivities to commence. As always in December, it's just me here at Kickstart HQ as we play...
Challenge #105 - If It's Christmassy, Link It Up!
Just make a Christmas card and link it up in the gallery. And if you're looking for inspiration why not look back across our gorgeous posts for all our Challenges in 2025. Our elves have truly done us proud this past year and no mistake.
If you've been following me here, or over at my blog, you may know I volunteer at a pet rescue near where I live. It's mainly cats that we work with, but dogs, rabbits, mice, ferrets, snakes, spiders, a polecat... We never turn anything away. The Rescue is always short of funds and so we've booked a stall at a local Christmas Fayre to try and raise some much needed cash. I've been making cards to sell on the stall, and other volunteers have made cat toys and other pet related loveliness. I thought I'd share some of my creations for you here...
I began to run short of Neenah Solar cardstock, so had to hatch a plan to make as many cards from the small amount of Neenah that I have left. The backgrounds are from another cardstock I had lurking in my stash. I just can't find any Neenah Solar anywhere here in the UK. Anyhooo, I'm hoping to get a few more cards made and packaged before the sale next week, so wish me luck!
We may not have an elf to keep us company this month, but we do have a rather lovely reindeer called Rudolph. Being the super-cool dude that he is, he has chosen Cooper from POD as our Random Raffle Prize this month.
Here's hoping you'll come and join the fun!
So many great and cute cards, you've already got a good supply. Gundi x

ReplyDeleteLove your cards for the pet rescue! I just adopted a Siamese kitten from a local shelter last month! Named her Misty!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of cards Jo, I hope the fayre goes well to raise some extra funds for the pet rescue. I’m in catch up mode so there may be a few more cards from me over the next couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful Challenge. Happy Holidays.
