Here we go again folks. If you need a push to help you prepare some Christmas cards in advance, then why not join us in this challenge and make at least one card every Rudolph Day (25th of each month).
As is usual for me, my first post of the year is a set of cards made from images, backgrounds and other elements salvaged from the cards I received this year. If I don't do it straight away, then I don't do it, so here are my makes for this time.
There are two sets of four cards; four featuring Mary with baby Jesus, and four random ones.
I used some precut 13.5cm cards with envelopes that I always keep in my stash as I find it a very good size to work with, except for the green one which I cut from an A4 sheet of card and embossed all over with a vine EF, but the embossing doesn't show in my photo.
I designed these cards using a variety of dies - too many to name, but if you want to know what any of them are, please ask. I also used off-cuts of mirri -card and glitter card, and other oddments from my stash.
I always try to make my recycled cards look as different as possible from the originals, and I think I managed to achieve that this time.
So that is a good start to my new year's collection. I'll just link it up to the Rudolph Day Challenge on ScrappyMo's blog, and hopefully I will see some of you over there.

Gorgeous cards, Kate...each and every one
O love that you designed each in a differing way. They are all so lovely.
That is a great idea to use up the ones you received early in the year. I like that idea!
Thanks for taking part in the January Rudolph Days Challenge.
What a BEAUTIFUL selection of cards Kate, and from recycling too, well done you.
