A Month of Holiday Cards

Last year's Month Of Holiday Cards was so popular that I thought we'd do it all over again this year.  Each day during November I'll post a different card idea to help kick start your holiday card making and hopefully avoid that last minute panic!

The link tool below is where you can upload all your creations during the month.  There's no limit on how many cards you create... in fact, the more the merrier!  To be eligible to win a prize, your cards must be holiday themed and created during the month of November 2014.  All the cards submitted below will be eligible for prizes throughout the entire month, so get your cards in early!

Daily Comments
Every day a clever, funny or inspirational comment will be chosen,
winning its author a digital image of their choice.
 
Weekly Winners
Every Saturday during November, I'll select three cards from the submissions below.
The card artists will win a digital stamp set of their choice.
 
Monthly Winners
At the end of November, five random cards will be chosen from the submissions below.  The creators of those cards will each win five sets of digital stamps.

Have added my 1st card. I added it to 6 other challenges to spread the word.

Dorothy S said...

Sounds like lots of fun

I just posted my easel card and the reproduction is not good - not sure what can be done to fix it! The top and bottom are severely cropped.

Granmargaret said...

Thank you for the easel card tutorial. I found it much easier than the instructions I had in which you had to measure everything.

Granmargaret said...

The little pictures here are always cropped. When you click on it you go to the blog and can see the full card. Your card is lovely

Beccy said...

Granmargaret is right Dorothy, the link you added to the challenge is cropped so it can fit into the space provided by the linkup service I use. When I visit your blog I'll see the whole card as it's supposed to be.
Cheers,
Beccy

I cant remember how the rules was last year. Did we have to make the cards in one day or could we upload say day 1 challenge any day this month/weekend? /Sewe

Beccy said...

Hi Swissie,
You can add your cards at any time during the month, there's no hurry.
Cheers,
Beccy

Thanks so much for hosting the fun holiday challenge. Just what I needed to get going on the big stack of cards I need to finish this month.

Jennifer said...

What a fun and fab challenge!!! I love it, and am sure to be entering again. The inspiration cards each day are wonderful.

Hugs,
Jennifer. x

Jennifer said...

Not sure if I should have labelled my entry #44 as 'Day 7-Vintage Christmas', and if we need to similarly label entries for future days?

Thanks,
Jennifer.

Theresia said...

Nice idea!

Beccy said...

Hi Jennifer,
You don't have to label your cards to fit in with the theme of the day, but you certainly can do that if you'd like to.
Cheers,
Beccy

Dee said...

Loving all the inspiration! Lots of great ideas posted for our holiday cards!

Dorothy S said...

Thank you for explaining the crop. I guess we see the "blemishes" on our own cards but not on others! So many lovely entries...

Dorothy S said...

Beccy, thank you so much for your dedication. You are so great to answer our questions as well as to comment on the cards. I should know the answer to this - should we do one card per theme - or can we just add as many of each as we like - and skip some of them?

Cora Schram said...

I'am going to give it a try. Wonder if my card meets the conditions.
Greetings Cora

Granmargaret said...

I am sorry I deleted my card for day 22 by mistake and have just re entered it. Hope I haven't mucked the numbers up too much.

Bridget Larsen said...

Love your stamps Beccy now that I have discovered Digis. off to play, its so hot in Brissy I can only create at night

This is a great challenge! The holiday season is one of the busiest time of the year. And because of this, there are people who forget some of the important things to do, like creating holiday cards or getting gifts for their friends and relatives. But with this challenge, not only will they have a constant reminder to do so, they could also avoid doing some last-minute panic shopping. Cheers!
