    52 Cards Challenge 2012

    This thread has been automatically created, because the original thread had over 250 posts.

    The original thread was located HERE.

    The first post was....

    Welcome to the thread for this year's 52 Cards challenge!

    Those of you who joined in with the 2011 challenge will be quite familiar with how this works but there are a few little changes this year - namely to the prompts.

    What is it?
    A no-stress challenge aimed at getting you to make a card a week in 2012.
    Each week I will post prompts to my blog - these will either be:
    • 3 prompts randomly picked from the prompt jar
    • Photo inspiration from Pinterest, etc. (that you can interpret in any way that you like: colours, layout, design elements, product - it's up to you!)
    • Design elements or themes
    • An existing card design that you can use as a sketch to create your own interpretation

    All you need to do is use the prompts as inspiration to create a card and share it here on the thread. Easy as that.

    If you can't include all elements of a prompt, don't worry - there are no rules, the aim is simply to get creating!

    Where are the prompts?
    All prompts past and present can be found here at my blog.

    When are they posted?
    The prompts go live every Monday morning at around 8.30 a.m. Due to work hours I schedule the blog post for challenge prompts so it's available at the same time and same place each week. I am sure some kind soul could list the prompts here on the thread for anyone having difficulties visiting the blog.

    So all that remains to say is... see you Monday for week one!
    Please feel free to carry on......

    Well that completely threw me Nat, I was in mid edit when the thread closed. I was beginning to wonder if it was something I said.

    I just wanted to add a thank you to Karen for the kind comment and to say what a great sympathy card that is Leigh, if you can have such a thing as a great sympathy card.

    LOL, it auto closes - don't blame me, I wasn't doing the talking.

    But joking aside, it is so nice to see we are such a lively bunch keeping the challenge going and getting those lovely cards made.

    Have been loving this week's lace and doily creations, I have another one that fits the bill and will try and post it later today when I get in from work.

    I think it's fab Natty, I seriously lost my mojo last year and I think I've made more cards this year than last year Well maybe not quite yet but definitely on target.

    Thank you Susie for the comment
