Make 12 cards. That's it. That's the whole challenge. (But you can read the first challenge thread here for the full write up.) If you are playing for points: 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. If you make two dozen, you can have another 8 bonus points. (So, 20 points total per dozen available.) If there's a bonus challenge/prompt, and you use it, take another 10 points.
March (optional) prompt: time to pull out your dies and incorporate them into your cards. You just need one on a card, and any kind of die is fine-- a word, a shape, a layer, a cover plate, etc. If you don't have dies, you can substitute punches. I haven't completed cards for March yet, but I'll be sure to post them when I do. |

No dies for me on this set, I was trying to work quickly so I didn't even use my fav stitched rectangles, but here's my first dozen for March. I'm hoping to get a Christmas dozen done too. I made page of Paige Evans cut aparts into a set of senior donation cards using one of the older Sheetload sketches for a z-fold card. There's a little 3x4 panel inside hiding behind the cut apart for a short message. A good morning's work. Sorry about the low lighting.

I did die cut these ones! A matching dozen for donations. I had the background panels ready from some paper I inherited, not really my favorite even though it's perfectly good paper. I just had to figure out something quick and cool to put on top and then how to squish a good sentiment into the space left over.  March share by jo.blackford, on Flickr |

So many cool cards justjac ! I love what you've done with all the pieces you've been coloring. The dahlia is probably my favorite, really beautiful coloring too. |

I love the seed packet look (and am a sucker for most things fruit themed) and the Z-fold is fun, too. When you donate your cards, are they for staff to send messages to the senior residents, or for residents to use to send out? (Either way, I'm sure the seniors will be thrilled with them!!) |

I finished my set of cards for the month.  It's Close to My Heart paper and a CTMH die/stamp set. A little hard to see but the snowflake paper is matted on a shiny bronze paper that I think I got at Michaels... not sure, but I had several pieces of it in my stash. |

OOh, that's really pretty Eddie-n-Harley I love that background paper. There's something about Christmas colors on a really good dark background that speaks to me. I have some papers set aside to turn into Christmas cards before the end of the month. I just have to rally and get started. I cut the card bases yesterday and I plan to use the latest Sheetload sketch so it should be straightforward. |

I made my winter/holiday set of 13 with some Carta Bella Snow Much Fun supplies. I used up as much of the sticker sheet as I possibly could, so some of the cards are a bit random, lol. The small leftovers will go in my sticker journal. I used the current (March) Sheetload of cards sketch as a starting point and used a silver glitter trim that I would like to use up this year.

Congrats on turning out so many awesome cards this month, Ladies! In January, I fully intended to do this every month. But once my Christmas supplies were stowed away, I have been doing pages, instead. Right now, I have three birthday cards to put together, so may come back here for more inspiration. justjac , your cards are all so bright and cheerful and colourful! I think my favourite ones are the "Let's get LIT!" And I love the added texture and interactive bits to amp up the fun. Those Christmas cards are really elegant, Eddie-n-Harley. That dark poinsettia pp is the perfect grounding. Left love on Flickr, joblackford . I always enjoy seeing your cards. |

I managed another set of 12 cards! I used the last of my Bloom Street cut apart sheets to make 12 cards using a slightly adapted March 2021 Sheetload sketch. It was really satisfying to mostly follow the instructions and get these done quickly and without a lot of thinking, a good warm up for making more freeform cards later in the day.
