AOCC16 January

[ScrappinCEO]

When I think January, I am still in snowman mode. I think blues. So your inspiration for January cards is to incorporate BLUE with a hint of spring to come. I've pulled this link from my pinterest board.

KEYWORD: AOCC16JAN

Some would call you an overachiever. I'll just say Great job!

[smadson]

I have to make birthday cards for DGS for the 8th and DD for the 20th! My Granddaughter made both while here. She is so creative! Anyway they left today, so will start crafting tomorrow!

[smadson]

Ok, I cheated! I am using cards out of my stash. I had made these two cards at past work shops. So didn't put them in my gallery because they were designed by my demo.

Grandson's bday card:

Hey gals! Storms kept me off the computer the last few days. I've adjusted Post #1 to reflect this month's challenge.

No cheating at all! You had cards and you mailed them! Go you! Getting cards out the door is the purpose behind this thread. Congratulations!

[FMcrafter]

I found it... I found it...this is the card Kathy helped me make

[muscrat]

I'm done with another three cards.

[FMcrafter]

Kathy...you are doing great...want to make a few for me...LOLOLOL

[auntangie]

So glad the only cards I need for this month are for card club. Have one I prepped a couple of months ago and then didn't get to use as car trouble kept me from going. Will post a pic later.

[ScrappinCEO]

y'all are doing great! I hope to get my January cards done today. I know I'm behind already but I'm still organizing/ putting stuff away in the studio. I am so OCD I can't just shove something somewhere and this task is taking forever! But I am seeing light at the end of the room ;-)

[FMcrafter]

eeekkk I peeked ahead...I need 3 cards for the beginning of February!

[uncbballfan]

OK, I had to come and post a thumbnail of this card, because there are a lot of firsts here:

First card of the year!
First card for grandson's birthday done AHEAD of time. (About time, since he's turning 19 this week!)
First time using this set which I've had for over 2 years.
First time participating in this challenge.

(I missed 1/2 of the challenge - spring, but think I got the blue part, since turquoise is my favorite shade of blue. I will add it to my gallery tomorrow.)

Hi Everyone!

I created two cards this weekend for my Occasion stash- one is a birthday card for several challenges (not using our January colors) and the other is a "Thoughts of You" card using blues.... I am assuming it is OK to link to my gallery :-)

I made one! It's not quite blue with a hint of spring. More like spring with a hint of blue.

Morning folks. This is my first card for the year in this challenge so all the best to you all for the new year. Have just spent some time looking at the contributions so far and there is some lovely work so keep it up.
Nothing blue on my card I'm afraid, I needed a couple of unisex baby cards. Here is one of them Little feet by must love cats - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I made this card for the Technique challenge as well, Gate Fold card, I've had the card blank in my drawer for ages.

Thanks for all of your sweet comments- hugs!

[smadson]

Here is a card that I didn't know I was going to need. A friend at church lost her father this past week-end. Black Magic Julie

[ScrappinCEO]

Great cards! Chris, loved your collection.

[Julie Gearinger]

I have a few cards that I created for birthdays coming up in February- the ones with Scripture are for the ladies in my Bible Study group (24 or so ladies) and the vintage one I did not put a greeting on yet since it was for a Mixed Media challenge and I was not sure if the recipient would be checking my blog :-) I did not want her to know it was for her - lol!!

Plus, I added the new keyword and corrected all of my other posts so far- I had the wrong key word in all (ACCO vs AOCC...duh!!) :-)

Thanks again for the encouragement- hugs to all of you, my friends!
