Christmas Challenge

Many of you already received the following from me in email form. This is for those of you whose address I do not have or somehow misplaced or simply neglected to click.

Okay, gals. Here’s a challenge for you. A fun one.

Have you wanted to create your own Christmas cards but thought your design skills were seriously lacking?

Well, I joined a Stampin’ Up club. (Yes, me, but desperate times call for desperate measures) but I am actually quite enjoying myself, and I am planning to make all of my Christmas cards this year. Whoo hoo…the ideas are spilling forth as I type.

Anyway, here’s my challenge. I want to receive as many “homemade” Christmas cards from you as possible (that’s why I’m sending the email out now). I don’t care if you order from Stampin’ Up, go to Hobby Lobby, or stop by Target’s stationary section and get stocked up on supplies. I just think it will be neat to see what kind of creativity we can conjure forth. Now, I would totally host a party for ideas and help if we all lived in the same area, but we don’t. That doesn’t mean we can’t still do it from afar and admire 1st place, 2nd, funniest, craziest, etc. I will even take pictures of my favorites and post to the blog.


Read no further if you’re not interested in Stampin’ Up. Just get busy creating.

However, if you would like to order from Stampin’ Up…they have pre-packaged sets called “Simply Scrappin Kits” that have everything in them (minus the stamps) for less than $20. The gal who is my “demonstrator” bought one of those last year and made 75 cards from it! that's 27 cents per card...even cheaper than a stamp! You better believe that is my plan, too. If you’re interested, you can check out her site: www.pollymarkcards.stampinup.net where you’ll find those kits and other stuff you don’t need.

Additionally, (no pressure here since I really don’t care where you get your supplies), if you do decide you want to order from them, you can call or email me with it and if it’s before next Saturday the 11th you’ll help me win extra stuff since it’s my turn to hostess the club. But, like I said, do what’s fiscally best for you and your family. Let’s just get creative and make some cool Christmas cards!
