2007 Holiday Card Challenge: Christmas Cards

Alliesmem · 11-29-2006

Hi all, Lisa, last years' coordinator was not able to host this challenge so I have decided to help out and keep the challenge going. I hope I can come close to the great job she did!

So to anyone interested:

Join the Holiday 2007 Monthly Challenge!!!!
This year's challenge was a big success! Thanks to everyone who participated.
All you have to do is complete 10 Christmas cards every month up to and including November and you should have plenty of cards to send out for the holidays!!

You can join anytime during the year. Just let me know what month you want to start and what month you will be finished (depending on the number you need to make). The idea is NOT to stress. If you need to skip a month or two, that is perfectly fine. Remember, the whole idea behind this challenge is to make life easier. Trust me, I know how busy December can be, why not try to get one project, your holiday cards, all done by the end of November!

Make your cards any way you like - make 100 of the same card 10 at a time or make a different set of 10 each month or make each card completely different and unique. You decide, these are your cards. They should be how you want them to be. Just post to this thread to let me know you want in. Then each month when you complete your 10 cards, upload your photos (use CC in the title) and post a message to this thread.

As in incentive, There will be a small prize to the person who completes their cards first EACH MONTH. For each month you complete (before the end of the following month), your name will be put in a drawing for the "year end prize basket”.

If you'd like to donate stuff for prizes (small items you may have laying around, SU! or non-SU, even stuff you have made), I would really appreciate the help. Postage stamps would also be a great help. This is not a requirement to join this challenge.

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A SWAP!!!!

Speaking as a person who still has to make 90% OF HER 2006 cards (I plan to stamp them on my Mexican Riviera cruise in two weeks -- they'll go out kind of late but still before Christmas) I am definitely signing up for this challenge -- January through November!

thanks so much for posting this!

I thought I mentioned somewhere that I want to do January through November. But I cannot find out where it is if I did it. Probably just in my mind....hehe!

peggysue · 12-02-2006

I should have signed up for this last year -- then I wouldn't be staring Dec. 3rd in the face with no cards made and no design in mind!
Sign me up for Jan-Nov. please and thanks for hosting!

stampmouse · 12-02-2006

looks like a good idea I am in.

sapphire1968 · 12-02-2006

I'd like to join in on this as well. I wish now I had jumped in over the summer when i really started getting involved in this sight. Then I wouldn't be scrambling to get them done now.
