If we are going to have CARDtober happen again, we need 7 people to host. A host posts one card making challenge per week in the month of October and provides us with a sample. A challenge may be an occasion, a technique, a colour or an element ( like Nuvo drops or doilies), maybe a sketch.
We have a couple of people agreeing to host for a second year, but we have some vacancies.
Anyone want to join in the fun?

I’d be willing if this is something I could prepare ahead of time.
Our son is moving the last half of October. We will be heavily involved in helping him. I definitely won’t have time to do.a card every day this time around, but I’d be happy to be a host if I can prepare my challenges this month for posting in October.

Thanks, scrapnnana! Yes, you can totally do all your sample cards ahead of time. If you are unable to post your challenge on “your” day, you can send it to me and I can post it for you. Most challenges/samples you would need would be 4 |

Thank you for thinking of me. I am so touched. I think I would make a terrible host at the moment. I just lost two of my brothers. That's why I have been radio silent for the past couple of weeks. Still trying to process everything. I do hope to participate in Cardtober. |

I can host. May I send my cards to you to post grammadee? I am so busy during the week but I can definitely knock out four cards as samples by the end of the month.  |

If you could post your own challenge each week, that would be best, and we will try to give you a day of the week that works for you to do that. If not, I could certainly post for you. Thank you! |

Do you mind sending me a PM with exactly what I need to do? I’m excited to help but as a first year teacher I’m trying not to drown. 🤣 |

Had planned to wait until we had all the hosts in place, but I think I can add additional people to the chatting later, so I will get it out to you now. |

If you need another, I’ll play.
I’ve only made a few cards, so if you aren’t expecting super fancy, I could host.
I could commit to a few over the month. I got several new dies that’ll work great for cards. Surely I can put three or four together.
If you still need a host, let me know!
eta—Saturday, Sunday, or Monday (which I’ll post Sunday eve) would be best for me.

I'm curious how complicated the challenges are for CARDtober?  I want to make some cards for my son's teachers and aides, but I'm more of a cardstock and pattern paper card maker. |

You can check out these links from last year to get a sense of it 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/84303/cardtober-challenges-2018But like most of the challenges around here they're usually pretty flexible. There may be some that are technique based, like using texture, which may be harder to achieve with just paper. But there are usually plenty with just a color scheme or sketch or theme challenge that can be used as a jumping off point for whatever your style is. I'm mostly a patterned paper cardmaker too. I don't plan to have anything too complicated in my challenges. And there's nothing wrong with skipping the ones that don't suit your style and making extras of the ones that do |
