January Card Challenge
For this month's card challenge, I was stumped. lol  I don't generally make many cards in January, because it is a busy time for me and I don't really have occasions to send them in January, either.  So, I decided to check out the January holidays/observances and came up with this list.  For this month's card challenge, I challenge you to make a card for one of the holidays/observances on this list!

Re: January Card Challenge
This is hysterical! What a fun idea! Just to clarify...are these cards FOR the particular holiday or are they INSPIRED by the holiday?  (Like a birthday card with birds for bird day?) You know I'm a copy editor and get pedantic at times  :greenwinkb: :greenwinkb: :greenwinkb:
Happy Scrapping!

Re: January Card Challenge
Hoping to get 5 entries on this awesome Challenge.  Starting off with Jan 1 New Year Day.  I love the unique challenge you have given us.  One of the things I have challenged myself to send more frequent cards to 3 of my relatives who live in nursing homes.  I'm sure they get a kick out of these unusual cards!  Thank you for hosting!

Re: January Card Challenge
Jan. 5: National Bird Day   This is perfect timing for this card.  My daughter is a huge bird fan and even wants to be Ornithologist as her career.  So I'm going to surprise her with this card tomorrow. Thank you for hosting!

Re: January Card Challenge
I think this is my fourth card and I went with  Jan. 29: National Puzzle Day.  I've had this stamp set for 10-12 years and never used it.  Excited to send this to my Aunt.  Thank you for hosting!

Re: January Card Challenge
Here's a card I made for Houseplant Appreciation Day.  I'm going to send it to my daughter as she struggles getting everything done in her home.  She's the mother of a special needs child and feels like she's always falling behind.  She loves house plants so I thought I would make this an encouragement card.
