No need to sign up, just play along!! So glad you are joining in!! Really does help to work all year round so not stressed come December! LOL!!

[ahlers5]

I'm back in! I already have enough for this year, but it's fun to participate, anyways. I'm only going for two a month this year.
Thanks so much, Ann!

[annsforte3]

So happy that so many of you are back this year!!

[Chatterbox-1]

Happy to see you back and setting up for this new year! This is one of my favorite challenges as well!

Forgot to say I'm going for 6 a month. I stocked up last year and still have some left to start the new stash, but hope to make some extras to have for SCS friends!

[annsforte3]

Carlene, happy to see you back too!!

[snietje]

I'm back too and I'll upload the first ones right now

[auntangie]

I love seeing what every one creates each month!

[Jay_Bee]

I started with some wreaths for January but I think I will deviate some months as I have set myself the challenge to use stamps that haven't seen daylight or ink for years!

[annsforte3]

Reminder, that even if you deviate from the theme of the month please post your holiday cards in the month you made them for all of us to see. It's exciting and inspirational to view everyone's creations!

[JD from PAUSA]

Thank you for this challenge...
Diane (Ahlers5) told me about it today, and where to find it...so
I hope to make my first Christmas card soon and join this challenge...
Jill

[ahlers5]

Glad to see you here!

[annsforte3]

Jill, so happy you are joining in!! Fabulous to see you here!

[vikkijo]

Hey there! I've missed you lots.

I should probably come back and keep myself more accountable to get these done. It may motivate my sisters too if I can get them here.

I do 100 each year, but I give a bunch to my other sisters to use.
I do 5 - 15 a month (when I actually do them)

@PeggyV and @CreepsMom you should pledge to get yours done too!

[annsforte3]

Hi Vikki Jo, missed hearing from you!! Stay with it and post some of those cards please for all of us to see and get us motivated!!

I send out 150 cards each year! Now trying to make only one layer cards for ease of mailing! Too expense to send those heavy cards out!!

[vikkijo]

Oh, how I need to limit the layers. I had bows that cost me over $1 on a few cards. Will not be doing that again.
I don't mind just the 80¢ for a special card, but over $1 no thanks.

I couldn't upload for the longest time and then I just gave up. I agreed to do some Index Cards for the Stampin' Up! Gallery and had to go use DH phone and it worked fine. So I tried again on my phone and it worked fine. so.... fingers crossed

[mcschmidty]

My Jan cards from a Christmas Crazy kit are finally completed, and fit the theme for the Jan challenge, wreaths. The images and DP came to me in a kit, and I put the cards together.

Here are my cards

Thanks for a fun challenge Ann!

Spring is finally arriving in Nebraska. It's hard to think of Christmas when the flowers are starting to bloom!
Happy Monday!
