Rudolph Days June 26

 Here we are at the Rudolph Days challenge and it's definitely flaming June with extremely high temperatures.  Never mind here's my Christmas card which might put you into a cooler frame of mind.  I've used a digital image which I resized so that I could group them together to look as if Daddy Rudolph has two younger family members to help him in his work.  I die cut a decorative window frame offset into the piece of white card and then popped the image into the frame.  The simple addition of a die cut tree and stamped sentiment complete the composition.  Happy Rudolph Days everyone - shame we can't go outside and roll in the snow 🤣🤣

Snippets Playground Challenge # 535

 I think I may be first through the Playground gates this morning because I just couldn't wait to try a new slant on an old technique.  Miss Di had spotted this 'game changer' way of making Eclipse style cards and showed us a wonderful example, also sharing links to a video.  This looked so interesting that I just had  to give it a try and this is my version using circles instead of narrow strips of 'Snippet' card.  The cream background is a fairly large snippet and of course the nine circles needed were also cut from my cream snippets.  A quite large stamp has been used, for the first time as it happens, because I was somewhat taken aback at just how large the stamps were in this set so they've not really been used as often as intended so it was great to have an opportunity to make use of this one.  There's a slight change in the way things happen the Snippets challenge as regards prizes - read all about it and catch up with news of Dudley's exploits as usual - always my first port of call on a Sunday morning 😉.
