    52 Cards Challenge 2014

    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 2013 challenge will be quite familiar with how this works!

    What is it?
    A no-stress challenge aimed at getting you to make a card a week in 2014.
    Each week I will post prompts to my blog - these will either be:
    • 3 elements 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
    • A sketch or existing card design that you can use as a blueprint for your own interpretation
    • A colour challenge

    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.

    What about those Christmas Crackers??
    For last year's challenge I introduced a new element to help spread the Christmas cardmaking cheer over the year - I can personally attest to how successful this approach can be, and how stress-free my December was on this front, so stress-free was I that I almost forgot I actually needed to write and send those cards I'd spent all year making!
    So as an added push for those that want to get ahead with their Christmas cards, make an extra card a week using the prompt as inspiration for a Christmas card as well. If that sounds like too much work, no problem! This is meant to be a stress-free challenge. Join in as and how you like, one week you may want to just make a card for the original prompt, another week just a Christmas card, or some weeks you just won't have time to make either! There will be a separate thread in the card forum on UK Scrappers for you to share your (hopefully) 52 Christmas Cracker cards! So if you are ultra-productive there is a chance you could make at least 104 cards in 2014!

    And for those who get behind or worry that they've missed too many weeks, nonsense! Just dive right back in at any time, you can make something from a past prompt or pop back in with the current prompt - please don't think you have to give up just because crafting and cardmaking has had to take a back seat in your life.

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

    Love the barn card Lynn, really cute.

    Frances your rocking chair card is super.

    Sue, what a selection of great cards, you've been busy. My favourite is the one with the little girl, I love the image and the flowers and especially the way you put one in her hair, very pretty!
