The ABC's of Cardmaking - easy & quick challenge
 
I wanted to start a challenge that is quick and easy. You can keep the card you make or send it to someone you know. The way this challenge will work is on Wednesdays I will post a letter of the alphabet. The challenge is to simply make sure at least one item on your card begins with that letter. For example: the letter E ... you could use an eyelet. Please be specific. If the letter for the day is E..if you use an embellishment it must start with an E. Nor should you use a color as your item. Please let me know if you have any questions. This will be an ongoing thread to keep from having too many open threads.


Today's (Sunday 12/5) letter is:
"M"

Here is my card

lonleymomma 12-05-2010 09:23 PM

welll...ummm...M was yesterday.....what is today? lol?

DellsDani 12-06-2010 01:01 AM

It will be the letter "M" until Wednesday. Then whatever letter I post on Wednesday will go until Sunday....I will be posting every Wednesday and Sunday. So you have time to still make something using something that starts with the letter "M". Huggs to you and to my granddaughter.

DellsDani 12-06-2010 01:02 AM

I forgot to say...please make sure you remember the musical challenge this week. The cards will be going to a fellow scsr. OK?

Twice a week? I can barely keep up with once a week. Maybe by Wednesday I will have time to do Sundays challenge. Is it ok if I am a bit late?

DellsDani 12-06-2010 07:05 AM

You will never be late. You can post any letter inspired card at anytime. I am not going to post twice a week all the time. I just want to change it to Wednesdays. So I am going to post it again on Wednesday. I can keep post the letter "M" again and let it run til next Wednesday if that makes it easier.

darloudasha 12-06-2010 10:47 AM

This sounds fun! I will not promise but I'd like to play when I can!! :D

An extra two days at this time of year is always welcome! :D Whatever you decide is fine, though, really.

darloudasha 12-06-2010 11:06 AM

now does the image count as well or only an additional embellishment? Like could we use an Elephant image for E? If the image does not count, what if we cut it out and like pop it off the page? I'm just thinking ahead on some things cause I do not have a machine that cuts out images like the Notes you used :) but I have music note stamps! :)

DellsDani 12-06-2010 05:56 PM

Yes, the image can be used. I have decided to post on Wednesday. This Wednesday I am going to keep it the letter "M" to give everyone a few days extra.

darloudasha 12-06-2010 06:48 PM

Sweet! :D I hope to make up on this weekend!!

DellsDani 12-07-2010 02:50 AM

Awesome. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

DellsDani 12-07-2010 03:34 PM

just checking in...

DellsDani 12-08-2010 10:10 AM

Please note: instead of posting a new letter twice a week, I will only be posting one on Wednesday. So, for this week we will continue with the letter "M".

DellsDani 12-09-2010 04:46 AM

Heather; I look forward on seeing what you use. the letter m isn't an easy one.

darloudasha 12-09-2010 06:12 AM

Oh, I have a perfect image for it :D

I so can't wait to see it.

DellsDani 12-11-2010 06:05 AM

G'morning...I will be back on later to comment on any cards that get posted.

darloudasha 12-11-2010 07:02 AM

I probably won't be able to post until Monday only because my phone camera sucks... but I will try to find my actual camera and post tomorrow if I can :) Otherwise I will scan it at work and post from there.

DellsDani 12-13-2010 08:30 AM

looking forward to seeing it

DellsDani 12-16-2010 03:25 AM

Ahh good job Heather. I love the colors you chose as well as the layout. Very nice "whale". Thank you so much for playing. It's nice to have at least one person to play this with me. hehe..hopefully we will get more. I will keep it going and hopefully folks will join us after the Holidays.

I am lurking! I have swaps to catch up and then I can come play. Does the image or word have to start with the letter, or can it be the theme?

For example, how is this for M...Music:
Attachment 203377

(I have to admit, I did not make it last week, but I was planning to CASE it for 'M', so that is just as good, right?) ;)

mamadwawa 12-16-2010 06:04 AM

Now I think about it, there is a microphone in the picture...

DellsDani 12-16-2010 06:13 AM

mamad..that's right. It has to be something on the card. Not the theme. I love that card. What a wonderful image for a music lover. I can't wait to see what you do for "W".

OK, so what you are saying is that if the microphone was not there, it would not apply for M, right? I want to be sure I do this correctly

DellsDani 12-16-2010 06:30 AM

That is correct.

DellsDani 12-16-2010 06:33 AM

Well ladies, I have a bunch of blankets to get done so I better get my butt in gear. I will be back on later. I'm eager to see what mamad comes up with. hehe

DellsDani 12-18-2010 05:59 AM
