Beat the Christmas Rush - a challenge!

Attachment 196760

If you are anything like me, you were still trying to make cards the week before Christmas!
Join in Beat the Christmas Rush and your preparation for the Festive Season 2018 will be a breeze!

Each month we are challenging you to make five Christmas cards ready to share with us at UK Scrappers on or around the 25th - that's 50 cards done and dusted by October 25th!!!

If you miss a month, or two, it doesn't matter, just join in again when you are ready :)

You can claim 30 bonus points each month when you upload your five cards to the CARDS gallery and leave a link in the appropriate thread during the week in which the 25th of the month falls.

Your five cards can be all the same, all different, or a mixture and as simple or as elaborate as you wish.

The January thread will open from Sunday January 21st- Sunday January 28th.

Please feel free to chat and ask questions in this thread. :)

WooHoo! I hope this will keep me on track Sue.. thank you!

Oh thanks Sue, just what I need.
I started this in 2017 but only managed January !! The bonus points will be an extra incentive to get them done :)

Fabulous ... This will really help

I might try this although I doubt I will need 50, I only did about 20 this year, if I can think of some fun simple ones I could do the ones for Robbie's friends too, he usually just buys a pack of the mini cards.

Great idea definitely up for this.

Looking forward to this :-)

Thanks for bringing this back - I ended the year with having to make 50 in the space of 6 weeks - I will be better organised this year!!

Fab idea :) I need to be more organised :D

I am definitely up for this! By the sounds of it I wasn't the only one panicking in December to get cards done and I really didn't feel well for a lot of the time either so determined not to be like that this Christmas ^_^

Count me in too Sue, I leave it to the last minute every single year!!! Then end up putting something together in a rush that I don't be overly happy with, just to get it out of the way....

Yay welcome to UKS Angel :)

Great idae Sue, just the motivation needed. Looking forward to lots of inspiration as the months go by too xxx

Fabulous, just what I need to get myself prepared :D

Well you did say as simple as you like so I took that to mean my homemade(rather than the handmade cards others make) would be ok. On you tube someone said hunkydory cards were a bit like paint by numbers for new card makers and as I had some sets from about three years ago I decided to have a go.
Does each card have to be loaded separately or will a collage of the 5 do. I know they need to be loaded next week but thought I would check first.

I’m sure the cards can be all on one photo, or a collage Claire, I usually take a group shot of my cards if I make a set x

I have taken a photo of them all in one place but I think a collage of them would show more details, will get them cropped and collages ready for next week.
I cannot believe how I enjoyed doing these maybe I might become a cardmaker !!!!!!

All 5 in one collage is perfect, Claire. If peeps are uploading separately please still link them all in one post. :)
