I got my first 10 cards finished today. I won't be this quick every month, I just had a lot of extra time today. Here's the link, I hope it works....... Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I had a big dinner party today. I feel like I am neglecting everyone in the Holiday card challenge. I promise by tomorrow evening I will get all caught up with sending out all my PMs and getting everything updated.
I looked at all the threads and I missed so much today. You guys are doing a great job with this challenge so far. Keep up the good work!
Oh when will I get me January cards done..........:rolleyes:
Your choice. What ever works for you. some do more or less than ten because they need more or less at the end. That is the beauty of this challenge. You do what works for your particular needs.

I'm in ... need to get a head start. January - November. What is the keyword exactly for uploads so I can search for ideas?
Thanks for keeping us on track!

I worked on some cards yesterday, and am doing more this morning. I did 6 yesterday - all the same and a different one today. I am working on getting them scanned and uploaded this morning.

I have a question - I am trying to upload a card and am not sure if there is a particular 'folder' that I upload it into? Under 'swaps' I see Christmas Cards - but not sure if I choose that or not. Thanks for any help someone can give me

Congrats on getting some cards done. You live in my favorite place! I live in Sammamish, near Redmond! BTW, don't upload to the "swap" folder, you upload to the folder for Christmas Cards. Hope that helps!
A few people have asked that all of the pictures use CCC07 in the keywords so that they can search to find all the cards that are posted.
Looks like we are off to a great start with the challenge. I am impressed at how many of you already have your cards done! As for me, I haven't even thought of my cards yet :rolleyes: I think I better get going!
*Then each month when you complete your 10 cards, upload your photos (use CC in the title) and post a message to this thread.*
I'm wondering if there is a gallery set up yet to view these cards. I put CC into the gallery search, but nothing came up. Is there another way to find the gallery, or hasn't anyone posted yet? No, I don't have my first 10 done yet, but I'm determined to get them done by the end of the month! Thanks for doing this challenge!
Great Idea! I would love to participate. Thank you to 'kakky_w' for letting me know about this (you rock, Kathy!!). I'm going to pass this info on to another stamper friend also.
I want to join also. This seems like the perfect way for me to get my cards done in a timely manner Especially since my cards didnt get done at all this year.
I would like in on this challenge again also. I think I will aim for February through November- but I am giving myself some leeway there in case some months just don't happen.
I also have a question - Last year we were not required to upload. Sometimes I just don't have time - and sometimes they are just not worthy of an upload ;-). Is that still okay?
Sign me up...I was really stressing last month trying to complete all my cards! This is a great way to keep me motivated to complete early!
Thanks for hosting this challenge. I'll start in right away so sign me up for Jan-Sept.

I'd like to join. I have never posted anything here and am not even sure if this quick reply is the way to sign up. I'd like to do Feb through October. I don't have a gallery set up yet either.
Wow you guys! I love this response that the challenge is getting. I think there are more of us that scramble to get our cards done every year, than I expected.
Don't worry about the uploading. It is fairly easy, once you do it once. I am sure we can talk you through it. And I think once you upload a picture you automatically get a gallery. Am I right?
I would like to join the Christmas Challenge. This past Christmas I made my cards and it had gotten down to crunch time and they were still not completed. I ended up sending out only half of them. :(
It will be nice to have it all completed before December.
