There is no 'deadline' to completing your Christmas cards for January,
Ok, now that the holidays are officially over....I'm usually kinda tired of red and green....so my challenge for Jan. is to make your cards in non-traditional colors...can't wait to see what you come up with....
Well, I will try to ahead of me and post for next year. Hopefully I will be able to do it every month. I set myself a goal of 2 per month. And use some of my scraps as well
take a look what my imagination produce with a help of my hands:
Hey, I got my first one done...pink and white for this one...I didn't feel like making 5 more of them so guess this month they won't all be the same like I usually do....
Here is my card for the January challenge, only one as I am supposed to be getting jobs done for our trip. I thought i had better make a start as January will be almost over by the time we get home. It looks a strange colour, I had to scan it as my camera is playing up
I love the inspiration. I would never have thought to use neon for Christmas cards...First one done...6 more to go. I just have to assemble them. I may decide to put a sentiment on the stocking cuff.
Okay - I'm late in joining up, but I like the idea of this thread. So I thought I'd come and play along! I know I always need about 50 cards a year so this will be perfect. I will start creating hopefully today.
I'm impressed by how many beautiful cards are already in the CCC 2013 gallery - you all absolutely rock and inspire! Blue is my favorite non-traditional Christimas color though I use it so often it's becoming traditional for me. I bought this Hero Arts stamp on sale at Michael's right after Christmas and am already using it! I'm planning on making more than 10 so I have extras to use for winter notecards.
I totally fell in love with these little guys when I saw them on here. I wish I could remember who gave me the inspiration so I could thank them. They are just so darling so I managed to get 6 done but I gave 1 away so I have 5 for this months challenge.
Finally had time to look at all the cards that have been posted this far for January - great cards, everyone! And great work on the non-traditional colours challenge - I'm so tied to red and green that it's hard for me to use other colours. But I'm going to try!

I got my first card made, woo hoo! I CASE'd a card by Maile Belles and used unconventional Christmas colors!
I posted the card to my gallery, but both cards are on my blog. 1 down, 3 to go!
Here is my first batch of Christmas Cards for 2016 (I created six of this design towards my monthly goal of 20) :-) Was unaware of our non-traditional color scheme and used the colors from the ColourQ CQC169 Challenge for this set :-)
Thanks again for the inspiration and encouragement :-)

This is my first year to sign up for this challenge. I don't think it will be my last! Although I didn't do the Non-Traditional Color challenge, here are my 4 cards for January.
