It's Time to Trim the Tree for Challenge

I know I always say it but goodness, has this past month flown by or what?

Thank you to everyone who played along in Challenge #54. This was a very popular challenge and it was great to see so many fun cards in the September gallery. 

Thank you so much to the lovely Anesha for being our elfin inspiration. We had plenty of laughs together over this theme!

After considerable deliberation Our Top Picks are as follows:

Dawn

Isn't this just so cute and funny? Love the colours too.

Susan

This one really made us both chuckle, and again the colour combo is beautiful.

Tristan

Love that cheeky llama!

Bonnie

So cute and witty!

Topping the Tree for this challenge is:

Michelle B.

This one really made us giggle - what a cutie!

Congratulations to our Top Picks and Winner. Please grab your badges and let your blogs wear them with pride!

Finally, here's our favourite reindeer around town with the results of his Random Raffle for this challenge...

It's you #14 - Jenny Martin.

Congratulations, Jenny, please could you email me at dottypudding (at) aol.com with your snail mail address and I'll connect you with your prize!

Thanks again to Anesha and to everyone who took part in this challenge. Both Anesha loved seeing your cards and you certainly prove how much fun and humour there is out there in Cardland.

There'll be another challenge along in a few days time, and I look forward to introducing you to our elf who may just have been a guest before. Mmmmm, who could it be? Join us on Tuesday 5th October to find out.

Reminder Time for Challenge #54 - Funny Ho, Ho!

September is flying by so fast that I 've been caught on the hop a little with this reminder post!

This month our lovely elf is Anesha from Crafting Queen!

I really love the card Anesha made to inspire us for this challenge. I would have loved to have made a shaped card myself but I just don't have many shaped dies and so sadly I abandoned the idea.

  

Instead I took my inspiration from the snowman's hat and scarf and grabbed this as the colour combo for my card. I always love traditional red and green on a Christmas card, don't you?

This little cutie is Reindeer Games from Art Impressions. Sadly, I can't find a link to an 'in stock' set anywhere.  The papers are some Tim Holtz leftovers. 

As always, Rudolph has been shopping and has this cute sentiment on offer as his Random Raffle Prize for this challenge.

I do hope you'll come and play along in this challenge - turns out it's 100 days to Christmas today!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #54 - Funny Ho, Ho!

Welcome to another new challenge here at Christmas Kickstart! I'm delighted to be joined by the very lovely Anesha M from Crafting Queen!

"My name is Anesha and have been creative all my life but never really to indulge until about 20 years ago. Over the years I have tried so many different crafts and stamping is one I come back to time and time again. One of my passions is helping others find the joy in crafting."

It's great to have you here, Anesha, I'm so happy to have you here providing the inspiration! 

Our theme for this month is:

Challenge #54 - Funny Ho, Ho!

We'd like to see comical, amusing, funny Christmas cards. There may be a 'Ho, Ho!' in the title, but your card doesn't have to feature Santa; Santa's are entirely optional for this challenge!

Here's the adorable card Anesha's made...

And here's my card...

You can find all the details by dropping in at Anesha's blog and also at my blog.

Here's Rudolph with another gorgeous Random Raffle Prize. He's chosen a very cute 'naughty but nice' sentiment from Crafter's Companion. Nice work, Rudolph!

                        

Anesha and I really hope you'll come and join us for this challenge, so please get your funnies on and come play along!
