  8. Hey everyone,

    This is my very first time ever doing this so please bear with me.
    I've done my 5 cards. I'm new to cardmaking so I tend to keep things on the simplistic side.

  25. Wow lovely Christmas cards - lets see if I can stick to it this year! Heres the five for January!

  26. Came across your blog earlier this year, great idea, especially since I would like to be more organised this year (needing 200 cards or so in total before December). Luckily enough I have 23 left over from last year and with the 5 I have done today, that brings the total to 28 already.

    You can find the cards I have done today Monday the 25th of January:

    1. the first one here

    2. the second one here

    3. the third one here

    4. the fourth one here

    and

    5. the fifth one here

    Hope you like them, they are just a few quick ones to make up some numbers. I will try to prepare a bit more over the next few weeks and get some more interesting cards done.

    Thanks for looking and Happy New Year and good luck to all.

    Love,

    Jo.

  29. OK I finally did January's and I was late for Decembers! I have them on my blog as well but I didn't start them until January:) So If you want to take a gander, just look them up. The cards here are really beautiful and very inventive. You can see my cards at https://www.createdbybb.blogspot.com

  32. Fab blog. Couldn't have come across it at a better time as it's my intention this year to ensure I have enough homemade Xmas cards without resort to commercial ones. My aim is to make 8 Xmas cards a month and I fulfilled that! Anyway, here's my 5 cards which can be seen here. Great inspiration from the DT.
