Scootstv, you're not alone - I don't play along with the theme for all of my cards. I did one for January's theme, and might do one for February's, but otherwise, it's challenge enough for me to get my quota done!!

Great batch of cards!

girl, you play however you want...just as long as you get them done and I don't hear any distress calls coming from you in Dec....the challenges are there if you need an idea to springboard from...

I may have been late in Jan, but my WT sample cards have brought me in super early this month :D.

Holiday Birds

WT414 Christmas Banners

WT414 Triangular Christmas

IC375 Snowy Village

I've already posted my quota of 10 for February but hadn't done one for the challenge of winter sports so thought I'd do one extra for February:

Triangulated Skaters

I am just now getting to my Feb. cards! It's been a hectic month both for crafty projects and life stuff. My bear isn't doing any winter sports...but maybe my next entry will have a sports theme!

Winter Joy

Nope, no winter sports on this one either but I really had fun putting the card together. I love this snowman and I actually have the card sitting here in front of my monitor. Every time I look at the smile on the snowman...I just have to smile! This will be my 2nd of 5 for Feb.

JOY, Joy, Joy

Here's my February design. I use this vintage Santa stamp every year - it's one of my favs. I also used two of my favorite Christmas dp's which makes it very fun to create these cards.

Just joining & I'll have to go back & do some non-traditional colors for Jan. This isn't a winter sport, but it's a Christmas card made in Feb, so I've started anyway!
JOY by gg nurse - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Welcome...Welcome....it's never to late to join the fun team....we're here all year..

Here are my February cards! Twelve done for the month!

CCC13-Peace on Earth by stampersandee - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

CCC13-Sing to the Lord by stampersandee - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I've failed miserably at the theme for this month - I'm going to stretch the outside activity to the limits with the first snowman one (you have to build them outside, right?!!)
Framed Snowman.

The next three are set outdoors, but not much activity happening with them!
Santa Moon
Star of Wonder
White Christmas

This last card was actually the first one I made in 2013 but got bumped out of January's set so I could group more similar cards together.
Gingerbread Man.

February done! It'd be a great time to get a head start on March - fingers crossed I manage it!

Way to go girls...several already finished Feb and it's only 3/4 way done....WHOOT!!!! GOOD JOB..

Here is my 3rd of 5... Keeping my fingers crossed I get 2 more done. My son is having surgery tomorrow and I will be busy taking care of him the next few days and then in-laws are showing up the following week. How am I going to get cleaning AND card making done before the end of the month? :)

Blessed Christmas

Nearly there, 2 more. Both in a layered design:

Here are my cards for January and February! So happy to have these done! This is why the CCC is so fun and important to me, so I can stay caught up!
Snow Swirled 2013

February CCC13
 

February CCC done!

13 Snow Swirled done for January and February!

So happy to have these completed! :smile:

Straight up... mine are going to be late, I signed up to do a card booth the weekend before Easter and I am spending all my cardmaking time either doing things for the booth or cards I actually need (now ) so, Christmas cards have hit the back burner until after Easter..
( I do have some really CUTE IO snowmen having snowball fights colored and stickled for this challenge though) thats as far as I got with them :mrgreen:

I admire those of you prolific enough to do booths....wow...I am way to slow to do that...good luck to you

CCC13 February by Chktg716 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Just uploaded my February cards....the pattern came from CTMH 'Make it from you Heart' Vol 1. It is pattern 23. They went together quick...Made 8 so far.

Wow, I thought I could get all of my cards done last night and technically I did do 6 cards (I signed up for 5) but they were only 3 different ones. I know I could count that but I really like making different cards for the 5. So I still have two to go. Will try to get them tonight.
Here's what I have so far:
Skiing
Skating
Sleigh Ride

Pat, you can make em all the same if you want....nobodies checking...I bribe the challenge police so they don't come here....teehee....and I'm so glad Val didn't need all the easy mount and could send you some.

I don't think we have to play with the theme. The theme is just in case we need it!
:)

Yay! I finished all 10 a few days early. I'm a little behind where I wanted to be, but I got it done in time. I couldn't make it work with the monthly theme, because the only winter sport involving deer (my 2013 card theme) that I could think of is hunting, and I really don't want to imagine my beautiful stag becoming stew.

Anyway, here's my Feb card design:

Peaceful Stag

Finally got these uploaded:

CCC13 FEB Card: SUO, CCC13 FEB Quilted Christmas by stampindoe - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
CCC13 FEB Group: CCC13 FEB Group Quilted Christmas by stampindoe - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

weird to quote myself but thought I would get all my cards posted in one place that way. I finished my last two cards tonight. And I am so proud of myself because I am ahead of my plan because I made at least two of each of my 5 cards this month.
So here are the last two:
Skating Bird
Entertaining Friends

Sorry didn't read the challenge - just hurried to complete my cards. Haven't managed to get them on SCS yet but they are on my blog here all in one post

Gorgeous batch of cards, Jay Bee - I especially love the blue ink-stained one with the black trees - it's stunning.

gorgeous cards Jay Bee...love all the tree ones and the fancy ornaments...great job

LOL


Well why not? It would be an original plan!

Here are my cards for the February challenge. I made 4 of each design to fulfill my commitment of 8 cards each month.

Couple Skate
Couple Skate - Group
Sledding Fun
Sledding Fun - Group

good question and answer
 

I didn't even notice a keyword for the challenge...goes to show how much I pay attention! LOL




I hadn't thought about the challenges being separated by keywords,


I'd say as long as you get a link posted in the correct month it's all good! But some like to jump right to the galleries and just put in keywords so you could do both key words


CCC13 and CCC13 FEB (or month for challenge)

AWESOME
 

LOL When I was pregnant with DD 3 ultra sounds said BOY..I was so prepared for Isaac Noah in March 1985

Virtual germ spreading!

The challenges are for inspiration when you are stuck and don't have any ideas.

I have January and Feb started, but no mojo..is there a fix for that?

My January card needs my lazy butt to punch out leaves for a wreath... so go do it right!

February need me to glue rick rack on....

well, at least they are started...that's something....

Now hup 2...3...4....get marching....and punch punch glue punch punch glue....
