Crafty Gals Corner , November Challenge. The theme this Month Is Anything Goes/ with Optional "Tis the Season to be Jolly"


Season Greeting everyone. 

Attention all of our loyal crafting friends. This is our last challenge in 2026. 

We are taking a winter Break during the month of December.

 The winners for this challenge will be announced in January, when we return. 

The theme for this challenge is: 


~ Anything Goes w/optional twist " 'Tis the Season to be Jolly" ~


 


This is my card for this last challenge of 2026.  I decided to make this Puffin elf card for this Jolly seasonal challenge. I spent a month this summer in Newfoundland and fell in love with the 300 plus Puffins on a tour and decided to create my card using a puffin rubber stamp from my stash. Unfortunately I do not have a the name of the creator of this unmounted rubber stamp, I am pretty sure I have had it in my collection for at least 15 years and this was the first time I have used it. 

To create this card  I used some designer paper from my stash for the background, drew a tree, snowballs, Christmas lights, stamped Christmas sentiment, Chritmas greeting and a hat for my Puffin. 

The hat and tree were my own drawings that I added artificial snow to. The ground of the card was created out of National Geographic paper treated with a Citra Sol technique.


Have a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to crafting with you in 2027.

Hugs Judy
