It's the 25th of the month and that means it's time for the October Rudolph Days Challenge - to add more Christmas cards to our stash.
I've loved these SU! heavy-weight papers ever since they came out and still have a precious few snippets of them left. What I love most about them is the colors and simple designs. I used some kraft for the card bases, and added some gold mirror card die-cut Lawn Fawn stitched snowflakes for accents, adding random glass bead accents to the centers. I added a MFT fishtail banner die-cut for the Simon Says Stamp pre-printed Christmas sentiment! It was an easy design, so I made two...
I'm entering the first card into the October Rudolph Days challenge and I hope you'll all head over there and give Maureen a big hug and lots of support as her husband faces health issues.

He is fighting off an infection at the moment so keeps us busy!
