CHRISTMAS/HANUKKAH 2012: Just a Few Cards a Month challenge!

[CindyE]

Okay, Shelley is the first to officially sign on for the new challenge (besides me, of course), so here we go for the new year! Same guidelines as last year:

• Make a minimum of 4 cards for the holidays. You can make more, of course.
• Post a picture of them all here, or a link to your gallery/blog so we can oooh and ahhh over them (and "Pin" 'em), and I can mark you off on the chart.
• Post the pics in the month you want credit for - if you made them in February but didn't post the pics until March, you will get credit for March, not February. Fair warning, I'm going to be firm about that this year!
• Everyone that participates for all 11 months will get TWO extra entries in the drawing this year!

I'm in. I'm going to do 5 Christmas each month amd step it up. I hope. I had way too many left over and ran out of time to send some. I should make Valentine cards in January.

This is such a good idea. Half of my family didn't get cards this year. That's just shameful.

I'm in.

I'm in. I thought I had enough handmade Christmas cards this last year to send to all my best customers and downline and close stamping friends and I was woefully short! Next year, I'd like to send them to all my friends and family too. That means I'll need about 100. So my goal is 10 a month. I'm going to start today by stamping left overs from my last class last month that I never finished up.

[Packer Fan]

Yes, I'm in! I LOVED having them all done. I did make more than I needed this last year so I will only be making 10 a month. Thanks Cindy for doing this again!

[CindyE]

YAYYYY!!! Glad to have you join us Kim, Adriana, and Paula!

[scrapshappen]

I made six yesterday and hope to make several more today. Still making left overs from classes, but at least I will be done with this months and maybe most of next months too.

[scrapshappen]

I made 26 total this month so that means I'm good for January and February. But they are all cards that have been on my blog before. I'll post them to the gallery here later today though.

Paula, cute cards! Did you make multiples of each? I'm only seeing one each, so that would count as five cards.

[scrapshappen]

I made six of the snowman one and five of each of the rest. I'll take a picture of the stack soon.

[CindyE]

Thanks!

Ok, Cindy, you twisted my arm. It really was nice to have an abundant amount of cards to choose from this holiday season, so I'm in for a repeat. I'll commit to the minimum of four cards per month (although I'll likely end up doing more). Game on!

[CindyE]

Woohoo! Glad you decided to join us, Cheryl!

[Packer Fan]

Paula, I love how simple and flat all your cards are! I realized in mailing cards this Christmas that flat is much better for the mail and that will be one of my goals in making my cards this year! Thanks for the inspiration.

[scrapshappen]

I do think about the flatness of my cards now. You are certainly welcome.

Here is the group photo:

LOVE them, Paula! And, I'm also thinking about flatness/mailing issues.

Okay, we have ONE WEEK until the deadline for the January cards. Here's the chart. If I missed someone who wanted to join, let me know.

[Melina Stamps!]

Is it too late for me to join? This is an awesome idea. If I can still participate, I'll commit to 6 cards a month. I should be good for January as I have leftover card kits too!

[Pepesmom]

I'm still on the fence about this one. Let me see how this weekend goes.

[CindyE]

Melina, it's not too late! Glad you are joining us - I'll add you to the list!

[Packer Fan]

Come on Trina! You know you want to! Just join us! Didn't it feel soooooo good to have them all done come December 1?

Glad you could join us! Love having you with us!

I too have several kits left from classes. I have them all put together too! Never even thought about using them! DUH!!! I'll take a picture this weekend!

Yes, it would, but then I have to deal with the stress of getting them done every month. I was in that monthly swap last spring and summer and did not like the pressure on top of the pressure in this challenge. We'll have to see how the rest of the week goes.
