** December Card Challenge!! **

**Mystik Nat** · 05-12-2007, 04:59 PM

This month I thought we'd make things a little lighter on those who've still got a fair few Christmas cards to make or even those who want to get started on their post-Merriment thank you cards.... In fact we'd welcome any cards celebrating other big celebrations for this time of the year!

So quite simply all you need to do for this month's challenge is to post a card using at least 1 of the 4 sketches below brought to you by the wonderful Pagemaps sketch site!!

As a little bonus the theme for these sketches is "buttons and bows"!! I'm sure you have some lurking somewhere....

If at the end of December there have been 10 or more cards posted here in this thread, then one lucky person will be chosen as a 'winner' and will receive a little goodie through the post courtesy of Julie at Scrapbooking Castle.

Thanks again to Julie for her support of the UKS monthly card challenge!!

The winner from November's challenge will be posted soon!

is it button "and" bows on the same card? or can we put either button or bows..???

**Gemma UK** · 10-12-2007, 09:11 PM

Love the sketches.
I would say its Buttons and bows on the same card. (although I may be wrong)

Best get my thinking cap on.

**Isa-uk** · 10-12-2007, 10:10 PM

ok, so here's my first one using Sketch Nb 2
No bow... as it's more of a masculine card and I could not fit a bow on there... (confession : don't like bows...

). But I'll try on the next one (a tiny one

)

it's also on my blog

Thanks for looking

"Buttons n bows" is free to interpretation. It doesn't have to be a cutesy bow, you can knot a bit of ribbon, or even create paper ribbon... if you manage buttons and bows on the same card - hurrah! You get extra gold stars!
