You read right! We have decided to try out a challenge theme a week for an entire year.

The basics: Below you will find the list of themes and the date you are able to start posting your creations. Postcards and/or folded cards are allowed. Feel free to jump into the challenge at any time, there is no requirement to start at the beginning of the year. You by no means are required to do all of them.

You will have up to 3 weeks from the start date to post your card in the dedicated thread for each theme. Example, the first challenge thread will go live on Jan 3, you can post your card(s) to the thread until Jan 24. Cards can be homemade, store bought, something that is both - it does not matter as long as you can justify how they fit the weeks theme. Themes do not have to be taken literally, use your creativity. Mods will post a thread for each theme at the beginning of its week where you will post your photos of your card(s).

As we have done in the past, you will have the opportunity to exchange with other “theme” participants. If interested in an exchange, please note the country you are sending from and your sending preferences like you would on the main sub. After the 3 week posting deadline for each theme, the mods will blind match everyone who opts in for exchange.

Happy Carding!
