Welcome to the All Occasion Card Challenge! For those that are new to our challenge, this is a personal challenge to encourage us to get those cards made and mailed!!
What is an all occasion? Well, just that- pretty much any card that you need to create and mail- for ex. birthdays, anniversaries, get well, sympathy, thinking of you, special holidays (Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, etc.) .
This challenge allows you to list the cards that you need (again, to keep yourself accountable) and we hope by doing so, it will help you mail the cards!
2). As you create and post to your gallery throughout the month, add AOCC23 to your keywords and if you are able, copy the URL for your card post to SCS and post to this forum so we can give you some comment "love" .
If you are unable to keep up with posting to the gallery, that is fine as well (I still have over 100 cards created that I have not posted yet). This year, let's just note if we made our goal- so again, we can encourage one another.
Thanks it!! Simple but an accountable way to help us get those cards out in the mail. Don't forget- use AOCC23 in your keywords when you post so we can all check on the gallery and leave a comment (I will need everyone's assistance in helping to comment )
I hope you will join us for 2032 and spread the word about our challenge so we can continue to encourage one another to bless others with love through our small pieces of art!
For January I've already mailed out 2 birthday cards that are due this week. I have 2 more ready to post, I need 2 Anniversary cards
Oh I need 2 masculine birthday cards too.
Great idea, Julie. I have 8 birthday cards to mail this month. All are made, in the envelope addressed. I hope I do not forget to place them in the mail. Sometimes that doesn’t happen on time. I did write the date on the envelope, so hopefully that will help. I need to edit the photos then I can post to the gallery.
Lisa, that is wonderful! I have over 200+ cards already made (many years worth) that I hope to get mailed this year. May just start sending cards as a "thinking of you" kind of thing, lol! I need to get my actual lists in order- you have motivated me for sure!
Hi Everyone! Sorry to be absent, I was so saddened to hear of the loss of Carlene a few months ago- she will be truly missed..
I am creating in between maintaining two homes, remodeling one of the two and trying to keep up with everything else since my hubby passed. My struggle right now, is to get the cards posted to my gallery. I am able to post to my blog, but time is so limited, plus I re-injured my shoulders again and typing is painful, ugh!
So thankful, Vikki Jo that you were able to get all of your February cards done and mailed- great job! Also, thankful you were successful as well Lisa!
I am mailing a few cards but I need to be more diligent! I am playing "catchup" with March birthdays and pulled from my stash of about 500 cards. Not all of those cards will work for the occasions that I have, and of course, I am still creating for my Design Teams, etc.
This card was designed for the new Card Concept challenge and I will be mailing as an encouragement card or may use as an April birthday card-
For April I need 2 anniversary and 5 birthday cards for family. I can't believe my granddaughter turns 9. Where has the time gone?
I don't have any SCS penpals birthdays this month, but I will have BRAK.
I am also planning to participate in receive a card send a card at least once a week.
Hi Everyone!
I have been creating cards to mail but have not had time to upload as often as I would like. This card will be mailed in May, TCC195_SC166 You Are In My Prayers
Hi Everyone! This will be my Father's Day card for my Dad- he loves to go fishing! SC867_TCC197 Happy Fathers Day
Hugs and I hope all of you are doing well :-)
Wonderful- start up at any time! I am still working on my remodeling project and I do not have internet access. I have been creating but not able to upload- the more, the merrier!!
Its November...I have all my "known" cards made for the rest of 2023. What I plan to work on in November is birthday cards for those who I sent to from the MN thread for 2024. I will also address all the envelopes.
In 2023 I sent them each a "half" birthday card also, think I'll do that this year also.
That would be about 30 cards I will need. I make them similar, not always exactly the same.

Hi Everyone! SInce I do not have any internet access for over half of the week and it does not appear as though there has been a lot of interest in this type of challenge, unless I hear otherwise from many of you, I will not be continuing this challenge.
I know that we are all so busy and I have been creating cards but have not had a chance to post many to my gallery or blog.
Blessings to all of you and I hope you have a wonderful 2024!
All Occasion Card Challenge 2023
