We've reached Christmas Kickstart Challenge #50! Not quite sure how that happened!
I'm delighted to be joined by the lovely Bonnie Klass from Stamping with Klass as our elfin inspiration.
Our theme is:
Challenge #50 - Santa and Friends
We'd like to see Santa hanging with his crew for this one - a friend, Mrs Christmas, Rudolph, an elf or two; they're all welcome!
For my card Santa makes a visit to the South Pole to see his penguin buddies - don't they look pleased!
I combined two super cute Mama Elephant sets: Little Penguin Agenda and Santa's Sleigh to create this card. I had so much fun stencilling the clouds and masking all the penguins.
I'm linking-up at Lost Coast Challenge #121 because their current theme is Mail Art... And because Gail said I could! The penguin on the far right has an envelope in his flipper.
My second Christmas Kickstart card is this one:
I'm not going to give a company name for this set because I'm not sure it's 100% legit. I purchased it in good faith from someone who said the labels were missing, but the quality of the stamps just doesn't feel right. As far as I know this is the first time I've ever done this and I hope it'll be the last if I have made a mistake.
For his Random Raffle for this special challenge Rudolph has bagged a sponsor and it's none other than Lost Coast Designs!
$10 of stamps shipped worldwide.

Two fab cards Jo, love the little penguin crew and the alternating colours on the signs for the second card is a lovely touch!
Love the penguin party and the sign holders are such fun with their Christmas sentiment signs! Thanks so much for inviting me to join you as Guest Designer this month!
Gorgeous cards Jo. Just love the penguins with Santa. And love the crew and their signs. Hopefully it was a real set but wise not to mention the company just in case. But have to say they are really cute!

So cute! Love those little penguins and your pretty blue stenciled background. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!
Both cards are so adorable. Bonnie makes a fabulous elf.
