I am soooo in on this! I'm killing myself trying to get the cards done for this year. We send out almost 100 (I know, I'm crazy) and every year the same last minute freak-outs. Last year was the first year I made my own and this year I got help from my SU friend (Consuelo). Even with her design help, I still feel like I'm over my head. This ought to really help me. Thanks for offering this challenge.
me to, me to, me to!!! I so need this. It is 10 days to Christmas and I still haven't even started mine for this year. I think that now I am going to send out new years cards. My excuse is that my 3 year old cut my 5 year olds hair the day we were to have family pictures done. Needless to say we never went for the pictures and it has been down hill since then. I am so excited!!
Let me know what you would like for the prizes. What a great idea!!
I'd love to sign up too!! Let me know where to send a small prize. This sounds like fun. This year I was finished in time to get them out by December 1.
Wow!! It's only 12/13 and we're up to 49 participants for NEXT year's Christmas Card Challenge!!! The more, the merrier---go ahead & sign up to reduce your stress next year---you'll be so happy you did (I know I was!!!).
Count me in! I did this last year and it was great. I still ended up making some cards (about 20) in December but at least I had about 100 already done!
OK how do I sign up?? I am hoping for a 4 in 1 printer for x-mas so I can scan in and upload my cards!! I only usually send out 30 cards but if I had more I would send out a lot more! Could you please let me know how to sign up? Thanks!

I'm a newbie, just joined and think this is a great idea. I don't always do things on my own, but always complete committments. Thanks again for the nudge to do it right. I'm still making this year's cards !!! aggh.- Alice in Phoenix
I would love to join! I was just thinking a couple of days ago that it would be great if y'all did this again and that I would definitely join this time! I skimmed the replies to this thread and didn't see the answer anywhere about what kinds of things to donate. Do they have to even be stamping related?
Thanks,
Lynn (raiwoof)

I can't speak for Lisa, but some of the prizes we collected this year included both stamping related items (embellishments, small stamps, etc.) and hand-stamped items, and even some just non-stamp related things. The main thing is to keep it fairly small and easy to mail. Lisa will also need donations toward postage for sure!

Thanks, Jami!! I was just getting ready to post something when I saw your reply. With hoping to do a monthly prize for the first person done and MAYBE (depending on what we get in for prizes) a drawing every month! We'll have to see on that one.........
Add me in. I didn't get my cards made this year and bought some this weekend. This will be the first time in about 5 years that I have sent store bought cards. Just let me know the info of where to send the loot. : )
Happy Monday everyone!!! I think we're caught up on all the updates posted over the weekend and the messages we've received. The original post is updated with our current list of names. Please check to see if I have you down. We've also updated the prizes we've received so far. If there's a ** after your name, I still need your email address to add to the mailing list for reminders and updates--please PM that info to me if you would.
If you just came across this thread, why don't you join us?!?!? Remember, this is NOT a swap but a personal challenge (with goodies to win along the way) to get your Christmas cards done EARLY in 2006!!!! Anyone can join in!! (see original post for more information).
Oh please please count me for this!!! I'll do January - October as once November starts, it's all downhill from there. LOL Please email me regarding where to send prizes. My email is: [email protected]
I am getting a really early start for 2006 since I have extra time on my hands after completing the 2005 challenge on time I may even bake some cookies today.
This is my batch of 10 for January. Thanks for looking!

I am so in. The only reason I got any cards out this year is that while helping me clean up my act in my craft room my dh found the cards I had made 2 years ago (that's right, two years ago), and pulled them out because "they are so nice, what a great job you did". He got the list together for me so all I had to do was address them, write the inside message and do the newsletter, yeah, that's all. Couldn't think of a reason not to send them out, so, yeah, sign me up. Maybe I will use them 2 years from now.

I want to play! I have to make 120 cards so this is definitely the way to go! I'll do Jan - Nov and probably 11 cards each month. I still don't know how to upload to a gallery. Can I get a witness to write in confirming that they've seen my cards each month? I live near a few SCSers.
I'll send you $$$ towards postage. Please PM me your addy.
Thanks,
Leah

Leah I think you just need to start a gallery! ;) It's really easy. Maybe some of those nearby SCSers can help you get it started.
I have decided to challenge myself on several levels with this project. Not only will I make the necessary 10 cards each month, but I will use a different stamp set for each and use color combos that are out of my comfort level. I think this will be fun!
yeah sign me up! I got my cards out this year but it was stress to do them all at once. I want to start in January and end in November. If I get my X mas cards done early, I'll spend each month making birthday, or holiday or occasssion cards. Ten a month - I can do this! Really, I can!

Hi lisa,
I was wondering if you have the package I sent you. I see my name on the list but it doesn't say rec'd. The tracking # I have says delivered on the 17th.
Let me know if you don't have it.
Thanks,
Lisa

Looks like we have some over-achievers here!!! :cool: Cool!
Please sign me up for this challenge. I've never joined a challenge before, but like so many said before, we need to be accountable. I have started designing my 2006 cards already, and hope to stay the course!
Ok playing around last night with my moms stamp set "Flaky friends " and thought I would go ahead and make my 1st batch of 10 cards for My January submission I love having all kinds of Christmas cards so I will be making each month 10 different at least as of right now I am thinking this .. so here is my card that I made 10 of last night .. the only thing is that the scan doesnt show where I stamped the mitten all over the main Real red CS as my background .. its much cutier IRL
Thanks for looking
