Ooh, forgot to sub to this thread, so I have lots of lovely things to look at. Seriously getting fed up of having the Christmas stuff still out, but determined to use up some more old stash before putting it away.
As promised I have come back to look at everyone else's cards - this is going to be a wonderful reference library at the end of they year - full of wonderful inspiration.
Nat - thanks for organising, all your example cards have been really lovely.
Virginia - lovely week 1 card - that stamp is perfect for quick and easy cards by making the sentiment the main feature. Week 3 is really pretty, you tie bows beautifully. Love the paper piecing on your week 4 card and love your sketch interpretation, that is a very cute stamp.
Fiona - I love all your cards, they are all very elegant and beautiful.
Merion - love how you used the same sentiment stamp for a birthday and Christmas card - very versatile.
Leigh - I love that reindeer card, I recycle all my gift ribbon too and the white on kraft card is lovely too - very effective.
Alison - Love your CAS card - a great way to use up those small scraps and love your week 4 card - a great idea to make a pile all the same - I am trying to do that more this year.
Scrapnanny - Love the monochrome card for week 2 - very pretty.
I have left gallery comments for those who have put their cards there.
Wendy if you want to add cards to the thread - use the 'Go Advanced' button for reply and then scroll down to the manage attachments button - that will bring up a window and you can then add a picture direct from wherever you store them on your PC.
Well done on your catch-up with comments Karen and of course with your cards. A great Christmas addition and in lovely pastel shades too. It will really stand out on someone's mantelpiece come Christmas.
She is one of my favourite Tilda's - sadly my Magnolia stamps don't get a look in these days as Penny Black have taken over my affections but The Ribbon Girl blog are doing a monthly Magnolia challenge so I am promising once a month to dig out these stamps and show them some love again

Thank you Karen - if I manage to get to this weeks prompt I will try that

omg, I didn't know this board was here - luckily I have been without a mission today and spent it surfing before I began uploading.
I thought that with only 5 weeks gone I was fairly early but I see from all the posts that I have been idle! You are all an inspiration and there are so many lovely cards on here. Will try to do a catch up thread later,
I have only managed to do 2 weeks so far and that took a whole lot of effort since they were made 'mojoless' I just can't find it anywhere! I think I need a stash tidy.
Sorry about the bad light in the photo but my house isn't the best for natural daylight! The tree one is actually teal! Both are stash busters inkeeping with my thrifty ways. Free papers, free embossing folder, half price Christmas stamps and ribbon.
I have the 52 cards done for these weeks too but the upload limited won't let me do anymore.
Loving this idea to do Christmas cards early - I always want to make gifts at Christmas but the cards take up most of my free time, maybe this year I will get more gifts made Just hope I don't hate these come Christmas!
