Card Design: DS4J Progressive Christmas Card Challenge...October

It is time to submit my card to this month's Progressive Christmas Challenge taking place over at DigiStamps4Joy.  One more card to add to the Christmas Card Pot to help me avoid the yearly Christmas Card Panic.  Ooh, ooh, ooh.  With the two cards I did early this month, this one and one I have coming out tomorrow, that will make it a total of four Christmas cards done for October.  YaY.  I have doubled my goal this month.

 

Christmas Card Count to date: 23

Here is the wonderful DS4J set we get to use this month:

Well, one more card is finally done. Don't forget, I have a holiday card link up called the 12 Months of Christmas that you can jump in at any time and add your own holiday cards to for the remaining months of this year. Click HERE for all the details. There are still a few days left to link up your two cards for October in order to get your free paper for the month. Oh and if you haven't heard yet, The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up will be heading to a new blog come January.  However, right now the blog has gone live and we have a DT call up.  Why not come and check it out?  Click HERE to head to the new blog and HERE to check out the DT Call.

Phew, only two more cards to get done by Friday for my remaining progressive challenges and then one for a DT obligation coming up on Saturday.  Mix that with a thousand other things I'm doing right now and it is sure to be a packed evening.  Hopefully, I'll get one of those progressive cards posted tomorrow.  Wish me luck!

Have a great evening/night/morning/day all!

Until next time,
