Avoid the Christmas rush ! My challenge is a fun one. You just have to make one Christmas card on the 25th of every month, so save this blog to your favourites and come back every month to check other crafters' Yule Creations.....ho ho ho! (Here's the link to see all the monthly challenges on one page)
I have an extra option for the challenge for the more adventurous (or insanely addicted to cardmaking); you make 2 cards for February, 3 cards in March, 4 cards in April and so on ! That's a double dare as your output increases every month but the good thing out of it is: you'll find yourself with 65 cards to send in December...just in time !
Please pass it on, I want the Christmas feel just one day a month and it's going to be FUN !
The time limit on this challenge is until the next 25th of the coming month...so for the February challenge you have until the 24th of March to make one Christmas card.
Here's my first card ! I'll create my second card later during the day. (Yes, I'm brave doing the extra option, LOL)... I've used a Brenda Pinnick blank card with a square aperture, circle chipboard, clear vellum sentiment and ribbons. The stamp is from The Angel Company - TAC (cute penguin). The turnmounts are Hot Off the Press (HOTP).
PLEASE POST IN THE COMMENT SECTION WITH A PERMALINK that means CLICK ON THE HEADING OF YOUR POST and then copy & paste the web address in your comment.
The address should look like http://yourblog.bloghosting.com/myxmascard.html and not only http://yourblog.bloghosting.com/ ; otherwise if you put only your generic main page address of your blog when people visit this post in a few weeks time they'll have to dig through your posts to find your Xmas card...when you input a permalink they'll go straight to your creations, ain't that nice ! LOL

This is so cute! Great idea to do holiday cards each month too. I found your blog through another one I visit. I think it's great to see stamping/scrapping from a man's point of view. You do beautiful work. :)
Fantastic Challenge...must try and have a go at this one Fabbie...thanks:)x
ooops!!!I forgot to say this is a great card...I love Brenda Pinniks range:)
Hi Fab! Well I am trying to be more organised with Christmas cards this year, though I'm not sure I'll be up for making more and more each month! I posted three Christmas cards on my blog today, at least it's a start!
Here's my cards.
I like the sound of this challenge, one that is useful as well as fun!
Wow Fabrizio, what a great idea! This should be fun, can't wait to see what everyone does. I'll try my best to join in the fun!
Wow Fabrizio, what a great idea. I'm going to try to play along! Can't wait to see all the great Christmas/Holiday designs!!! It'll be fun looking at snowflakes during the dog days of summer here in the "deep south" of the U.S.
Gorgeous card.Love the colours.
I have a list of 35 birthdays & every time I make each person their card I make their Xmas one at the same time. That way I aren't stressing at the end of the year all I have to sort is the mountain of postage!
What an idea, Fab!!! Love it and I am totally game on this one!
*lol*

http://gleefullydone.blogspot.com/2008/03/dis-sketchfabs-christmas-card-challenge.html
I finally "got with it" and decided to combine a card sketch by Di Hickman and make a card for your challenge. I am so proud of myself because I had a "moment of genius!" I don't have many of those moments these days. HA!
Better late than never
Here is my card for the February
Challenge.

Hi Fab,
Here is my #3 card for this month; it is kinda what you would call, "thinking outside the norm."
http://gleefullydone.blogspot.com/2008/04/fabs-christmas-card-challenge-6-double.html
My eyes are doing really well; thank you so much for asking. I still have some problems with light sensitivity. The doc said that would last for a while. Right now, I am adjusting to new lenses because I still need some correction. I will be so glad when things get back to normal. :-)
Love ya, Glee
What a brilliant idea :)
here is my entry:
