RUDOLPH DAY (PLUS ONE)

Hi Everyone

I hope you are having a lovely weekend .. .. we gain an hour overnight .. .. I wonder what we will all do with it.

There was a conversation on the radio yesterday about it and under discussion came the fact that those who work through the night end up having to work an extra hour!!  I have never even considered that!  How selfish of me!!

Anyway, I am here today with a creation I made early doors for entering into Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge for October.  




This used:

Backing Paper:  Trimcraft First Edition "Silent Night" (love the textured pages and sparkly bits in this pad)
Memory Box Die:  "98680" Grand Merry Christmas
SizzixMovers and Shapers Die:  "657493" Mini Reindeer & 25 Set
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Ribbon, chord, gem and charm from my stash box
My trusty sewing machine
Distress Ink and a crackle glaze stamp with a bit of silver embossing powder to make the reindeer feel special

I am pleased to report that the sun shone for my "happy couple" on Friday.  It was throwing it down with rain for a good part of the morning and I was on a "mini-depression" on their behalf .. .. but by 1.30pm it was beautiful and they will have been able to get some gorgeous photographs I am sure.  

Have a lovely evening everyone.

I'll catch you again tomorrow with my snippets.  For some reason there are a few lying around the place again LOL!!!

Love

    Super card Jules. That enormous Merry Christmas die is fabulous. Love the die cut deer too.
    I've know idea how many extra hours I worked on the night shift when I worked at a hospital - but it was more often than not.At least it won't feel as though I'm getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to watch the Grand Prix.

    Gorgeous card Jules! I have that die languishing in my basket, waiting to be checked out, over at the Glitter Pot! I keep arguing with myself about whether I should buy it!

    Yes, it is a nuisance for those that work nights as my Andrew found out!
