March 2016 Christmas Card Challenge

[annsforte3]

Here is the March 2016 Christmas Card Challenge!

JodyLynn aka Jodylb has a wonderful idea for us for March, a Christmas village!!

Use a house or shops decorated for Christmas!! Could include windows and /or doors!!

[annsforte3]

Combining CCC16 for March with the WT557 challenge. Figured combining with the weekly challenges I would surely keep up this year with no problem!

Made two of each of these cards:

Postal Christmas Traditional

Postal Christmas Blues

Postal Christmas Vintage

[DiHere]

I could stretch the theme and say these are in the skies ABOVE the village - but I'd be lying!!

Crescent Santa 1
Crescent Santa 2

I'm going to try and get back on track for my other cards this month.

[DiHere]

Okay, I didn't manage to get back to the theme, but I got the rest of my March cards done and cleared some of the pieces off my desk so I'll settle for that!

Honeycomb Bauble
Watercolour Winter Sky

[annsforte3]

A couple more for March!

Vintage Christmas Cottage
Spotlight Christmas Cottage
Red Christmas Cottage
Green Christmas Cottage

Ok that is 10 for March for me, due to doing two of each of the postal cards!

Glad to have you with us!! And think about it...it's only March and you have started your cards!! Hooray!!

[smadson]

I still haven't done any for March. I don't think I have anything for this village theme.

[annsforte3]

How about using shapes for a house?

Or do you have a window die?

[susanbri]

Here's the first of my 10 for March:

Yupo Holly

Will be back later with some for the theme.

[susanbri]

Just did this for this week's Merry Monday challenge of black, white, and silver:

Silver Bells for a Spaniel

It's number 2 of 10 for March.

[smadson]

I did a March Christmas card!

for VSN : Christmas Joy

[susanbri]

Two and three of 10 for March:

Lots of Layers

Musical Bells

Should have got that second one uploaded in time for February's gold and white challenge!

[shelia]

Here's my first card for March. I'm so behind! DRS Designs has some great Christmas Village stamps, so I have all these ideas going on in my head. I just need to get them on some Card Stock!! Here's my Village Church card.

[susanbri]

Number 4 and 5 of 10, one with a church and one with a village so I'm getting onto the theme suggested for March:

Wells Cathedral in Winter

Winter Village

[susanbri]

Determined to get my quota of 10 done by the end of March! Here are numbers 6 and 7:

Winging It with Mixed Media

Inspired Chickadee

Three more to go!

[stampingwriter]

I am sorry I have been so absent since joining this challenge. We are getting ready for a long-distance move, and I'm cleaning out 20 years of accumulated stuff (bank records, tax records, ---- what a surprise, a cardmaker who holds on to lots of paper!).
Anyway, I did make one card that fits the theme this month. Hopefully once we get settled in the new city I'll have more time for SCS.

[tampatha]

I haven't used this Stampin Up set very often, so it was nice to crack it open for this challenge!

From Our House To Yours

[susanbri]

Nearly done with March. Here's 8 and 9 of 10:

This one is for the March theme:

Decorated Window

but this one isn't as I did it for the Merry Monday challenge:

Still working on sorting out the craft room, so no cards yet. BUT I did find a PSX stamp I didn't remember I had that will be perfect for this theme.

[JBgreendawn]

I tend to not link mine until all 4 are done... and then I realized I never posted them lol...

so for March they start here:

Here's another one that fits the theme. I'm slowly trying to get back in gear, and the Light challenge for VSN was a good motivator.

[snietje]

Sunday today, we were invited to eat so not much work to do for me in the morning, and I received my new stamps yesterday so I had to use them, here the result with two cards for March
