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.

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!!

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!!
