All Occasion Card Challenge 2022

[Julie Gearinger]

Happy New Year!!

Welcome to the All Occasion Card Challenge! For those that are new to our challenge, this is a personal challenge to encourage us to get those cards made and mailed!!

What is an all occasion? Well, just that- pretty much any card that you need to create and mail- for ex. birthdays, anniversaries, get well, sympathy, thinking of you, special holidays (Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, etc.) .

This challenge allows you to list the cards that you need (again, to keep yourself accountable) and we hope by doing so, it will help you mail the cards!

The guidelines for this challenge are simple:

1). If you are willing, please post to this forum, the number of cards that you need for the upcoming month (for ex: In January, I need at least 10 birthday cards, 2 Anniversary cards, 3 Thinking of you cards and 5 Sympathy.... or something like that ). Or if you prefer, you could post what you need for each month in one post. Whatever works for your creativity is fine with me- we are just trying to keep each other accountable to create the cards and mail them

2). As you create and post to your gallery throughout the month, add AOCC22 to your keywords and if you are able, copy the URL for your card post to SCS and post to this forum so we can give you some comment "love"

If you are unable to keep up with posting to the gallery, that is fine as well (I still have over 100 cards created that I have not posted yet). This year, let's just note if we made our goal- so again, we can encourage one another

Thanks it!! Simple but an accountable way to help us get those cards out in the mail. Don't forget- use AOCC22 in your keywords when you post so we can all check on the gallery and leave a comment (I will need everyone's assistance in helping to comment )

I hope you will join us for 2022 and spread the word about our challenge so we can continue to encourage one another to bless others with love through our small pieces of art!
