Hi Cardfriends, welcome to Challenge #2 at Christmas Kickstart.
A very, very big thank you to everyone who played along with Challenge #1. I was completely blown away by how many of you fabulous folk joined the fun. Please, please, please check back towards the end of the week when I'll pick Challenge #1 Top Picks and a Winner from your gorgeous entries.
Before we get going, I've an announcement to make (imagine small fanfare) The Christmas Kickstart Challenge now has it's very own blog! You can find it here!
I'll be posting all three of the January challenges both on my blog and the new blog, so hopefully you can make a smooth transition between the two and continue to play along.
The theme for Challenge #2 is Bundle Up!
Yes, we're wrapping ourselves in scarves, hats, ear muffs, mittens, big socks and any other paraphernalia you can come up with to keep the Winter chills at bay!
My cards for this challenge both feature a set which I first spotted just before Christmas called Winter Wear by Concord & 9th. So cute! The set comes with some lovely sentiments, but I wanted the phrase 'Baby it's Cold Outside' on the card. To achieve this I used some of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's adorable set Winter Alpaca plus some very old, squishy individual letters from a nameless set I must have bought from Mrs Noah when she gave up crafting to help her husband build the ark.
As you can see, you can easily use the images from this set without the sweet girl's face to achieve a completely different look to your card.
I very much hope you'll find time to play along with Challenge #2.

Hurrah--great success! Just put the new blog in my Feedly & will try to come up with something for challenge #2. I absolutely adore the first card, Jo!
Gorgeous inspirational cards Jo. So happy your challenge got off to such a great start.
Fabulous cards. Love the different cards you made with this set.
Great idea to Kickstart too - I was in a major panic with my cards last year.

Another great challenge Jo, have started following the new blog and off to create a card!
Yikes, I can't believe I let challenge #1 slip by me! (Well, actually, I can, I'm just not proud of it...) And my next two weeks make me think challenge #2 is not necessarily happening here, either. But I do LOVE this card and your colouring, as well as how you carried the design through to the inside. A pretty one for sure!
