January 2017 Christmas Card Challenge
Here is the thread for the Christmas Card Challenge for January 2017!
For January, let�s go with Ann's suggestion to use something with a sled, snow tube, snowboard or skiing on our cards!
Please leave us a link to your card and make sure to use CCC17JAN in the title and in the Keywords!
Reminder, this is just a suggestion to help get you motivated and start on your 2017 Christmas Cards!
There is no 'deadline' to completing your Christmas cards for January,
It's never too late to join....
You can join anytime during the year. If you need to skip a month or two, that is perfectly fine.

I was able to combine the alphabet challenge with January's Christmas card challenge. Here is Red Vintage Sled~

I have a dry-erase board and I write everything down and erase it once I get the challenge done. Otherwise, I write the challenge on a piece of paper and then lose it. ;-)

Sharon, I have a notebook dedicated to challenges (just a regular spiral notebook that I covered with pretty paper :-))
Each page has one of the SCS Challenges (one line for each challenge) and I have double page layouts that I created with a grid for the other online challenges that I participate in. The double page layout will hold approx. 6 weeks worth of challenges and the SCS pages hold over a year (front and back since I use college ruled paper).
This has worked well for me for several years (I have Christmas and misc. SCS in the back). I cross off the challenges as I do them and can go back and "catch" up if I want to as well :-) I tried putting it in a Publisher document for a few weeks but that took more time than my manual notebook. I did have graphics in the computer version but I just hand draw the sketch, etc. in my notebook). Some of my pages I have added inserts with washi tape so I could keep them in the same location...
Hugs and have fun creating your own system! Happy New Year!

Mine seems to be gone also!! Can't get going on anything!!
But then I look at my house, not as clean as I would like it right now, one son sick, DH still coughing, stuff to be bought away, and me not running at full speed!!
Need some inspiration, Lynn!! Let me know if you find us some!!

Not on the theme, but I did this for today's CAS challenge to use something new. Here's number 1 of 10 for January:

I wanted to use both of these images on the same card, so I ended up fussy cutting them, leaving the bottoms of the images uncut to serve as the snowy hills. The rest of my January cards won't be nearly so fussy, but I love how this came out!

I got my first one done. It's not specifically Christmas but it could be. Off to see what the rest of the gallery holds. Glad to see it filling up!

Lynn, I am behind too. I have done one Christmas card and I linked it to June's gallery.
Thank you Julie and Kandie for the input about challenges. I made a rough chart, but am finding I didn't leave enough space in the squares to write all the info about the challenges, but it is a start. This week I did most the challenges, because I had them written all in one place. What is going to difficult are these monthly ones, like this, and the BAJ one and the Bible Verse one. I tend to forget to do them.
I sure have a lot of catch up here to do. Your cards are all great!

Number 5...Flip flop cards are not easy to photograph and still get the full impact of the card as received (when fully closed, the "Ho! Ho! Ho!" is centered at the top of the card in the green space.). Regardless, here it is.
Still Sledding by Andrea Robert - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
Trying to decide whether to make 2 more cards with the same image, or go on to other themes....or maybe go back to work? LOL

I am falling behind already! With 6 family birthdays in January those cards are keeping me busy. I'm still feeling more like looking at cards than making them!
Of course I am making birthday dinners and birthday brownies and giving a birthday parry today. No mojo!
