April 2017 Christmas Card Challenge

[annsforte3]

Here is the thread for the Christmas Card Challenge for April 2017!

For April, let�s go with Amy's suggestion to use some kind of creature on our cards!

That would be reindeer, abominable snowmen, penguins, moose, or whatever creature you come up with!! Have fun with this one!!

Please leave us a link to your card and make sure to use CCC17APR 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 April!!

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.

[annsforte3]

Here's my first one for this month!!

Shaker Snowman Family

[MommaPatti]

Made a card for today's Free for All challenge that also fit this category. My very first card made for the 2017 season!

Here's another for me too!! F4A353 fits this one too!!

[Andrea Robert]

Glad there was a month for "Creatures", since I had already made the card before I checked the monthly themes!!!

Love Penny Black, and I knew I wanted to layer one of the images from this collection on a red plaid background, so here it is:

Twisted pop out by jan31 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[stampingwriter]

I just uploaded two Christmas cards. One features cardinals, and the other is a snowman with a tiny bird perched on his hand, so I guess in a stretch it could fit the April Theme (although I didn't use the keyword.) Trying to remember to upload these as I work on them.

[smadson]

Here is one for April, although I haven't done any for March yet! LOL I even did the right challenge!
