Hi Stacy, so glad you are signing up again!!

I didn't do so well in 2018. Sooo, let's sign up again!

kathg3262 Kathleen I'm game to try for 2 cards again.

Glad you signed up again Kathleen!!

I'll be back for more in 2019! Four a month again, unless I have more left over this year than expected :).

Way to go, Di, you did a fantastic job this year!!!

Ann, thank you once again for being our Christmas Hostess-With-The-Mostess!! Looks like another fun list of challenges/inspiration! I am in for 2019 with 6 cards a month.

Ann, thank you for setting this up for 2019. The monthly challenges look like a lot of fun, again, this year. I will be making 6 each month. Looking forward to another year of inspiration from all the cards each participant makes. Happy Stampin' to all!!

Stampindoe, would you be so kind as to tell us your first name? Thank you!!

So glad you and Liz are signing up again!!

I'll be there next year too, thank you so much Ann for the inspirational challenges!! I hope to be able to make at least 6 each month

Ah, you're very kind! Couldn't have done it without you - thank you very much!

I'm in for 2019!! I'm going to try 4 a month.

Welcome back, Anita!!!!!!!

Hey, Misti, great to have you here!! Welcome!!

Well last year I had them all done by the end of February and I have some leftovers so I think I'll stick with five a month.

Way to go Kathy!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm ahlers5 otherwise, known as Diane.

I definitely need to space my cards out next year. This month is killing me. I plan on four per month.

Hi Diane, great that you will be joining in!! Welcome!!

I think I will be able to make 3 each month.

Hi Amy, great that you are back for another year!!!!!!!!!!

Count me in! I will make 3 a month.

Hi Donna, will do!! So glad you are joining in!!

I'm Susan, aka susanbri, and I'll set a quota of 10 a month again. Need to have 100 made for my fundraiser at the end of November and this really helps. Thanks, Ann, for setting it up again.

Susan, so glad you are joining again!! Wow, the fundraiser people are going to do well with your gorgeous cards!!

Welcome back, Anita!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you are with us!

Hello Ann and everyone!
I'm in for 6 a month Plus whatever m sister talks me into making for her also.

I'm ever persistent in thinking I'll not be caught short...so I'm in...maybe I'll actually get them done...surprises do happen! I'm sticking to two per month as I haven't even achieved that yet! LOL!!

Plan to make it a dozen again but not necessarily all on theme!

I'm signing up again with a goal of 5 per month. Claudia, SCS name cjzim. I did get all of mine completed this year but where I fell down was in uploading them to the CCC threads : ( I will attempt to do better in 2019!

Question: is it okay to maybe just do one or two per month with the challenge theme and fill in with other themes for each month? I find it hard to stay within the specific topics for 5 cards. I know in the past we didn't have themes. I think the themes are fun, just wondering if we have to stay strictly within them to play along in these challenges.

The themes are just to inspire you if you have no ideas. I know many times I didn't need to use them because I had others I wanted to do. So use the themes or not. Its all up to you!

This year I had to give up as we have been away for almost eight months off and on although I did manage to make all my cards.

I’d like to make two per month as hopefully we will be spending more time at home this year.

I have to do 120 for next year. I ended up with 104 this year only because I had to do another card for the masses. That means 12 cards a month. Oh boy the list gets bigger every year it seems. LOL! Bring on 2019.

I guess I have not chimed in yet for 2019 Challenge. I will again do 10-12 cards for 10 months be cause that will give me the first part of November to address and they will be postal by the day after Thanksgiving. That is my plan. The themes are great but there are a couple specific cards I want to make so they may not all fit in the schedule.

First time joining the challenge. I didn't finish mine early enough again this year so this will help me stop procrastinating. I will commit to two cards a month so I will be able to complete my other monthly greeting card quota too. I love the themes you suggested to get our brains working. Looking forward to this!
Cathy

I haven't been on the Christmas Challenge in about 2 or 3 years now. And I had to book it, to get my cards done this year. No more! I am committing to making 10 cards per month, for a total of 110 by the end of the year.

I've been away from the challenges for a LONG time, and I'm trying to get back to cardmaking on a regular basis. I'll try for two cards a month. Thanks for the themes ... sounds like fun. Marie.

Welcome to Cathy, Carlene, Claudia, Marie, Jan, Janine, Linda, Lisa, and Vikki Jo!!!

The themes are here just for ideas for each month!! Post whatever cards you get done each month in that month unless they fit another months theme, then please post to that month!!

So happy to see so many sign up again!! It really helps to get them done early so no stressing in December!!

I try to use some of the weekly challenges to help me get them done, especially the sketch challenges work so very well.

Hugs, to all and a very Happy New Year!!

Hi all......trying this again for 2019! I didn't keep up last year...way too many other things!!

SuzyS1104....Suzy......trying for 4 a month. I might not follow all the suggested themes....but, it's always a good way to start.

Hey i am still alive...umm.. i think? Lol

Thanks Ann for getting us going aga8n!!
