Day 4 - "D"

It's day four of our Month of Holiday cards challenge and we're up to the letter "D", which of course, stands for desserts. At this time of the year desserts are everywhere you look... cookies, cakes, gingerbread houses, puddings, chocolate truffles, lollies, slices... that's why it's known as the most wonderful time of the year. 😉

Day 3 - "C"

We've hit day 3, which means it's all about everything "C" - candies and calories, cakes and calories, chocolates and even more calories! I decided to steer clear of sweet treats and focus on circles instead... although a coffee and a cookie might just be in my immediate future.

There's no more time for procrastinating, the holidays are upon us! Decorations are going up, festive food is being prepared and gift wrapping is well under way... not yet in our house but certainly in lots of others. Our online store is looking very festive with the addition of these new Christmas images, perfect for building up that stash of holiday cards.

A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge

Welcome to the Sixth Annual
Month of Holiday Cards Challenge

This is it! For me, this challenge marks the official start of the Christmas season. Seeing all the wonderful cards and paper craft projects that are entered into the challenge really kindles my Christmas spirit, and I'm always super excited to see what's added each year.

I know most of you are return players who are well aware of the rules of the game, but for anyone new, here's how it works...
  • Each day throughout November, I'll post an A-Z letter prompt and card idea to get you inspired. You then use the prompt to create your own holiday themed project, take a photo of it and upload it to the challenge. Remember though, there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, which means you'll find a few random challenges thrown into the mix!
  • Follow the link at the bottom of this post to upload your creations to the challenge. 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 2018.
  • All the projects submitted will be eligible for prizes throughout the entire month, so get your cards in early!
  • Store credit won during any Beccy's Place challenge is only redeemable for digital stamps. All values are in Australian dollars.
  • Entries can be uploaded to the challenge from any hosted site including blogs, online galleries, Google photos, etc. If you do not have access to a hosted site, please feel free to email your photos to me and I will add them from the Beccy's Place Guest blog.
  • Beccy's Place designers may enter the monthly challenge but are not eligible to win prizes.
