The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #106 - Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

Welcome back, I hope everyone had a very Happy Christmas and a great New Year and that we're all safe and ready to make cards again!

We have a very talented Elf to Kickstart 2026; please welcome the lovely Chris Lawlor. 

"Hi everyone! I am delighted to be a guest elf this month!

A little about me:

I work full-time in marketing, I am married and we have a 19- year old son. I have enjoyed paper crafting since I was in high school! I purchased a stamp set from Paragon Catalog and collected many wood mounted stamps from there. I took a long break while my son was young and then got back into card making 10 years ago. I was very excited to see the changes with clear polymer stamps and die cutting.

My favorite techniques are alcohol marker coloring, ink blending, stencils and die cutting. I enjoy creating cards to bring happiness to others.

For the January theme I have chosen Pink Christmas! I hope this inspires you to get a jumpstart on creating for Christmas 2026!"

Thanks so much for agreeing to be our Elfin Muse for January, Chris. You really have picked a great theme.

Join us as we play...

Chris made this gorgeous gate-fold card for our challenge.

Such beautiful details, and so much work involved.

Isn't this just stunning!

You can find all the details over on my blog.

Rudolph had a little photo-shoot during the festive period, and here he is in all his gorgeous glory. He tells me he's been working-out!

Rudolph picked a fabby prize for his first Random Raffle of the new year.
