Just make 12 cards. That's it. That's the challenge. (You can read the first twelve-card challenge post here if you need the rundown.)
February (optional) prompt: incorporate a printable element. Could be a digital stamp, a sentiment you generate in Word, just something printed from the computer. Now might be a good time to print out 24 sentiments to put in this month's cards and last month's cards...Here is my card for the month:  This is a planner printable from Cocoa Daisy from December 2020. I think it's free to anyone who wants it, though you'll need an account for the site. I printed several of the A6 page and then trimmed them down. I pulled a stamp from my HoneyBee Stamps "Rejoice" set and used my stamp positioner to stamp multiples. Matted to cardstock and then a kraft card, finished with stickles and sequins. I am making multiples of one design each month, so here it is with its stack of friends.  Have fun! |

Really pretty card! Great idea to use printables. I have lots of downloaded CD digital file to use. This winter line was one of my all time favorites.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful card and the free source to this beautiful image.
I will have to go thru my files and find something to use.
Do we get extra points if we finish the challenge?

I love that paper. I used it in my planner a couple of weeks ago when one of my favorite internet-famous foxes died. It makes for a pretty card too. I might make a version of that too. I started off trying to do a modified Sheetload for the card challenge this month, using up some Doodlebug papers I had pre-cut last year (or no, maybe the year before... what is time??) I ended up going completely rogue and just trying to use up ALL the scraps and panels, no specific sketches in mind, and then using everything in those project boxes, including some printable papers from Simple Stories 2019 that I bought and then hated (not my colors). I finished 30 cards, and I have another half dozen or so that just need a sentiment and/or image. http://instagram.com/p/CLDV8grJ7rW |

I forgot that I'd already done my cards for this month! I thought I was going to have to do them this week. That means I'm ahead for March because I picked out a couple of snowflake dies and a stamp set I'd like to use.

I am sorry I am just getting back to you now. It's been a weird month. For points, it's 1 point for each card you make, whether 1 or 20. If you hit the magical dozen, take 8 bonus points-- so your first dozen cards are worth 20 points total. (You can make as many as you want, each time you hit a dozen you can have another 8 points). You can also earn 10 points if you incorporate the optional prompt. Oh, and they don't have to be Christmas cards. |

The dog and cat trio is pretty cute, too. |

justjac, those hockey beavers are awesome. I love the effect of your slimline cards, with Santa and the reindeer peeking out from the sides like that. Your some kind of wonderful card is also gorgeous.

Ooh, I have a shopping list going at Simon (I need the new narwhals set). Thanks for your concern-- it's mostly just blink and where did the month go weird. But at least this month I kind of know where it went. I once "lost" the entire month of June. Looked back in my calendar, saw I did things, like go to the dentist. But literally had no. recollection. of any of it.  |
