Rudolph and the boys in Red


Morning Peeps, I enter very few challenges but really wanted to support Helen who has taken over the reigns from Mo of the Rudolph Days challenge and as I have a few suitable cards in my folder, thought I should share one of them.

It's an un-blogged Create and Craft sample from before Christmas for Highlight Crafts using Seasons Finishing Touches, an acetate panel and wintery scene in the background from MCS. The Christmas Roses and Holly decoupaged and a bow to finish.


Your also going to have to bear with my excitement that our Boys in Red brought home the first trophy of the season yesterday. Against all the odds with our recognised front three all injured along with a good few others, Jurgen was brave and fielded a side made up of a few seniors and a good few lads.....as one commentator said "they'll be back at school tomorrow". What a wonderful day it was for those youngsters now nicknamed "Klopp's Kids".

  10. Ciao Brenda, che meravigliosa card di Natale!! Ho riconosciuto immediatamente i bellissimi fiori e le bacche TRR e adoro l'effetto con l'acetato che mostra la sognante scena di neve in bianco e blu! Splendido design!
    Sembra che tu abbia avuto un motivo per esultare, complimenti alla tua squadra del cuore, grande vittoria nonostante la giovane età di alcuni giocatori e gli infortuni di altri!!
    Un abbraccio, buona settimana!
