Hello Ladies: I am hoping someone can help me out. I can't find the name of the stamp set I used for this January challenge. The sticker came off. It's an old SU stamp set that has a small dove, a tree, a bell, and a word saying that says Peace Joy Love. Anyone know what this was called? And if I can't find it, any ideas how to enter my card? Thanks
Hi everyone - I hope you don't mind a gallery moderator popping in to answer Gayle's questions:

SU retired that stamp set before the SCS gallery existed, so no gallery category was set up for it here.
There's a special "Christmas Collection" category in the Gallery especially for Christmas cards that don't fit neatly into any of the stamp set categories or technique categories. All of you are always welcome to upload your Christmas Card Challenge creations there. On the upload page where it says "Select a main gallery", use the drop-down menu and choose "Events and Special Collections". That will activate the sub-gallery box on the right, where you can choose "Christmas Collection".
I don't make a habit of checking this thread (Kathy/Wrose alerted me to Gayle's question, so I stepped in to answer), so if any of you have any additional questions about uploading your CCC cards, please feel welcome to send me a PM.
I would join y'all in your challenges, but since I'm on a design team for an off-SCS Christmas card challenge blog, that keeps me busy enough with making Christmas cards throughout the year! ;) Thanks for giving the SCS gallery some variety, especially during the spring and summer!

So much for my plan to get back home after the holidays and use some of the Christmas card challenges to inspire me to get my CCC14 cards done on time this year. Dislocated my finger the Monday before New Year's Day and my hand/finger are still numb and bruised. THAT puts a damper on things!
By tonight, I just couldn't stand not being creative, so looked around my stamp table to see what I had laid there to play with and found some die cut trees my friend, Loll Thompson, had sent me before the holidays. Found an appropriate digi sentiment and was well on my way to making some cards. Feels soooooooooooooooo good to have done something creative!
Hopefully I'll figure out 2 more before the end of the month that won't require me to actually stamp.
Cards done! I'm not sure how well I kept to the challenge this month - I started off with great intentions and then the cards got away from me a bit. I've only to do three a month this year, rather than five the last couple of years, so I'm going to enjoy my lower limit this year. I'm trying to remember to make the cards flatter - most of mine last year would have needed extra postage so I tended to use those for people I was sending a package to anyway.
I did a blog post and got my final two for the month posted on my blog. Both use the challenge theme. I will upload them at some point, but I know we can't on Sundays.
Well, I did 8 cards for January, and when I first did them, I stamped a very pretty Peace on Earth in an oval for the greeting. I even made the cards. But it just didn't set right. Here's the card I CASEd. CTS57 Holly Jolly Sparkly Christmas by jillastamps - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
I did not have her greeting and punch, but I had the old versions! Anyway. I had these cards fitting the theme but the colors and circles scream SANTA at me. I had to change it, so I used Un-Do to pull up the Peace on Earth ovals, and made these, and am happy with it. I made 8 all the same. I haven't uploaded them to SCS yet.
I thought if I get a couple of Peace ones made, I'll post them. I did try! Oh well. These could go in a glitter month, I suppose. I'm just happy I got 8 cards made. lol

Another "stamp free" Christmas card for the January quota. Are trees peaceful? That's about as close to the Peace theme as I am likely to get this month.
