A Month Of Holiday Cards

Another year has rolled around and it's time again for the annual Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge - my absolute favourite challenge of the year.  I always feel so inspired after looking through all the fabulous entries that are posted, and I love reading the comments that are left... some are inspiring, many are complimentary, and then there are those that are just plain hilarious!

I'll have a new card idea to share with you every day this month, which I'll also post on Facebook so you can follow on the go.  Hopefully by the end of November we'll all have a nice little collection of holiday cards and hand made gifts to send out to our loved ones.

Upload all your creations using the inLinkz tool at the bottom of this post.  There's no limit on how many cards or projects you create but they must be holiday themed and created during the month of November 2016.  All the projects submitted below will be eligible for prizes throughout the entire month, so get your cards in early!

Every Saturday during November I'll select three cards from the submissions below.
Each card artist will win a digital stamp set of their choice.

Random Winners
I'll select cards from the submissions below at random times throughout the month.

  4. Oh, Beccy, I'm SO GLAD this challenge has started.
    But I think I have to wait with my first card until tomorrow. Here in Europe we still are in October! We are a little bit delayed, you know ........
    Looking forward to all the great inspirations.

  12. I have a couple questions. Do they all have to be Beccy images (by the way, I love, love them) or can any work and also, Can they be Thanksgiving cards or only Christmas. And my favorite colors together are Green and Pink. Sarah

    1. Hi Sarah.
      Nope, they don't have to be Beccy's Place designs, you can use any images from your collection.
      Any holiday card is acceptable for this challenge as long as it's made this month.
      Cheers,
      Beccy

  13. It wouldn't be November without this challenge. I don't know how I'd get my Christmas cards finished without it! Thanks!

  14. Oh this is my first time with this yearly challenge. Not sure I will get a card a day but hopefully will get a couple. I'm also glad to know I can do Thanksgiving cards too. So does this challenge take the place of the monthly challenge this month? Thank you!!

  15. I'm getting on board the Holiday Train with you. I've followed you from the very beginning. You were talented then, and you continue to flourish and create even more if that's possible. I look forward to the ride this month.

  17. Hallo liebe Beccy,

    ich bin von all den wundervollen Werken begeistert. Das Inspiration pur. Eine Karte so wunderschön wie die andere. Ich liebe Schneemannmotive und habe mir gerade gestern wieder welche bei dir im Shop gekauft. Wenn ich doch nur mehr Zeit hätte. Dann könnte ich auch wieder einmal an der Challenge teilnehmen. Ganz liebe Grüße Hugs Silvi

  18. Hi BeccyI did not send a card yesterday. I do not know what a mirror is, and I could not it find a description of how they are made.
    Today is something else. I know what Polka dots are. I always imagine a circle of girls dancing the polka. It makes me smile and makes the day so much better.
    Thanks for all the work you've done, so that we can all learn something new and have fun. With that said, I will dance into my scraftroom.

    1. Hi Conny. Mirror cardstock is just shiny, metallic-looking card board. I'm not sure if it's available in your country, but it's fairly common here and has been on the market for many years.
      You don't have to make a card based on the daily prompts if you don't want to... you can post any holiday card you like. The prompts are just there to help inspire you and give you ideas.
      Cheers,
      Beccy
