I finally made a decision on what I was doing for N.  I couldn't find a "N" fold that I hadn't already done, so I re-made one but in a smaller size as I didn't have any 12 x 12 in a light enough weight.

This is with all the tags pulled out:

 Day 13 and the letter L.  I couldn't decide if I wanted something on the front of this card and in the end decided to leave it plain so that the inside is the star of the show.  This one is quite an interesting design.

I was struggling to think what I was going to create for the letter K.  I had come across this tutorial but wasn't sure about it.  Then I had a bit of a brainwave this morning as to how to get it to work.  So, I am now back up to date after struggling all day yesterday and only finishing J this morning.  I have been working on some summit cards today so hopefully I will get those completed over the next day or two and get some uploaded.

 I was honoured to be asked to be a Guest Designer for the latest challenge at CRAFT Challenge.  The theme for the challenge is Love/Valentine.  The challenge is sponsored by Polka Doodles.

I have used an image by Polka Doodles called Love Birds Word Valentine.

I also used a digital paper from Trimgym.  Colouring is with copic markers.

I followed a tutorial for a Double Concertina Stepper Card by Sam Calcott.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays

Today is the last prompt for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place.  As usual, Beccy has made the final prompt "Do What You Love".  Instead of what I usually do - another fancy fold - I'm going to go back and do Letter N which was accidentally skipped over by Beccy.  The alphabet feels a bit incomplete without doing one of the letters!

and a different view:

By lifting up the point of the triangle, you get a more traditional looking tree but I couldn't manage to get a good photo of it in that position.  I always struggle to get good photos of never-ending cards (and some other styles) without getting my finger in the photo.
