I'm sure I can fit in some cards, too, though!!

You can always incorporate the challenges into your cards and just use your TH Halloween products.

I usually need Christmas cards...I send out over 100 cards every year.
This year I'm trying to create a capsule of products that coordinate and just use those to create my cards.

That's a good idea. I wouldn't mind doing the card swap but the thought of making that many cards is intimidating. Cardtober is a good opportunity to get started.

grammadee I don’t even have an ambition to complete all 31 challenges. Do I still have until 11/8 to claim CARDtober challenge points for individual challenges? If so, those points go into November’s tally? Also, just like with other challenges, I can claim points for both setting and meeting my CARDtober challenges?

It is just the completion bonus that comes off the table after November 8th.
