The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #22 - Jingle all the Way!

It's time for another fun challenge over here at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge. Thanks to everyone who played along in our previous challenge AND thank you to everyone who has signed up as a Follower of this little crafting caper - I am blown away by the fact that we've passed 100 in The Gorgeous Christmas Kickstarter Crew!

I'm delighted to welcome a new elf for this challenge - it's my lovely long-term blogging buddy Dawn from Dawn's World! Hello lovely lady, it's great to have you here!

"I was super excited when Jo asked me to be her Elf for this fortnight.  I’ve been a crafter all my life it seems.  For the past 10-11 years I’ve been cardmaking and loving every moment of it.   I live in Auckland, New Zealand with my long suffering husband of 41 years.  I have two delightful grandchildren, one here in Auckland and one overseas in Australia.  I’m loving joining Jo’s challenge and growing my stash of Christmas cards."

Our theme for this challenge is

Jingle All the Way!

We'd like to see bells on your card please.

Dawn's card

Just look at the 'shine' on the bells.

My card

Here's Rudolph with the Random Raffle Prize for this month.

He's got a two-fer of sweet Lawn Fawn stamp sets up for grabs!

Hope you can make time to play along in this fun challenge and don't forget to Jingle ALL the Way because no one likes a half-assed jingler!
