Christmas Card #3 and Group Blog Call
Happy Sunday, Everyone!! Here is my 3rd Christmas card for the year! Are you working on your Christmas cards? How about a goal of at least 4 Christmas cards a month? I think I'll create a group blog for Christmas cards only! This way who ever wants to participate are motivated to start creating their Christmas cards. Who wants to join in? What should I call this blog?
What I'll do is post a sketch or some sort of challenge each week and group members will post their cards on the site based on the challenge for that week. Participating members will need to have a blog so their card post can be linked to their blog as well. If I can get at least 5 members to join, then I'll start the group blog. Are you game?
Group members will need to commit to creating at least one Christmas card or project a week based on the challenge of the week. Group members will post their own creations on the group blog with the picture of their card, their name and the link to their blog site., therefore, you will need to have an already existing blog site or create one to be part of the group. You have to be committed to creating the 4 cards per month and not be flakey about it. LOL!! That's it.
People who just want to participate in the challenge but not be a member can comment and link their post to their blog or mail the pictures to me if you don't have a blog. I'll create a gmail just for people who wants to send in their pictures and I'll create an album on Paper Craft Planet or photo bucket that I'll post the cards to and link it on the group blog.
Let me know if you want to join by commenting on this post. I'd love to start a blog just for Christmas cards. It'll help motivate me to make them and I need all the help I can get.
Anyway. . .now to my card. I colored this old SU image with my Copic Markers and added a little sparkle using my Stickles glitter. I embossed the background with my CB embossing folder.

This is just drop dead gorgeous!! I love that you cut out the poinsetta and then mounted it on top to give it dimension. The true beauty is the coloring though!! It is incredible!! Wow, wow, wow!

Very Nice Card. Your idea of a Christmas Card Blog sounds great. Not sure if I could commit though to one project a week. Maybe I'll start just by playing with your sketches when I can and see how I do. I also just found the link to all your old sketches. Thanks for sharing.

I love the thought of creating Christmas Cards throughout the year. I tried to do it last year, and ended up only starting in October!!! It'll be a great idea to motivate all of us, Maria!!!
