This is the thread where we collect all the November challenges. I will keep this thread open for new challenges until Saturday evening (November 3rd). You can earn one point for your team for each challenge you pose here. A challenge can ask for a specific product, technique, topic, project, shape, style, colour combo, or...
Before you post a challenge, please read over those listed already, so that you can make sure you are not simply repeating someone else's challenge.
When you post a challenge, please give it the next challenge number in order. Don't worry about this too much, because I can fix the numbers later, but it really helps if we can keep the numbering as up to date as possible.
Each challenge is assumed to have a point value of 1: anyone who completes the challenge earns one point for her team. If you wish to apply a bonus for something extra, please make that clear in your challenge.
Here we go!!!

#37 Random Icons! I was just in my craft room, sitting at my desk thinking, what do I really want to use this month....? And I remembered the random icons challenge that stinkerbelle set way back in April and I loved that challenge! So I'm bringing it back, again, cause I've already bought it back once lol! So use one of those random icons on a LO, you know the ones, those random llamas, sloths, giraffes with glasses on. Those things that you think when the heck can I use that on a LO? Well bung it on a LO and claim yourself a point! And do you know what, I'm gonna make it even more random and say, claim a point for every random icon you use. Let's set a limit of 5 points. So a point for every random icon up to a maximum of 5.I keep looking at the yoga woman on a sheet of Paige Evans chipboard I have and thinking what on earth am I going to do with her? Well she's going on something this month for sure! And it will be random. You will look at my LO and think, why is there a yoga lady on there? Cause there just is!

Challenge # 46: Let's get COMPLEMENTARY: Add some punch to your page or card or project by using colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel: red & green, blue & orange, Yellow & purple. If "true colours" give you a headache, feel free to go pastel. You can use other colours as well, but two of them need to be complementary colours.
