New 12 Months of Christmas Link Up - Optional Theme: Make it Masculine

The start of the month means a new challenge on The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up Blog:

This month we're asking you to 'make it masculine' and you can find all the details here on the blog.

Here are the basics of the challenge:

• Anyone can link up as many Christmas and/or December holiday themed cards (including Happy New Year's cards) throughout the month with an ANYTHING GOES theme.
• Every person who has linked up a MINIMUM of two (2) cards will be eligible to receive a specially designed Christmas themed digital paper.
• Each month there will be an OPTIONAL theme to follow. Anyone who submits a card adhering to the monthly theme, will have the chance to win a prize from that month's guest sponsor.
• ALL entries adhering to our basic rules also have the opportunity to win a mini pack of digi papers each month as well.

Our sponsor for this month's challenge is the wonderful:
