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!

Punch The Clock Day…that definitely deserves a card LOL!

[Jolly Holly Scraps]

These are oddly great! I can see possibilities!

[scrappinmom99]

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

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!

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!

Jan. 10: Houseplant Appreciation Day  I loved how this card turned out, but I may have to re-do my hand written sentiment.  LOL  Again this is such a fun list of cards to make.  Thank you for hosting!

Jan 26th...spouse's day

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.
