Two more days left after today to sign up for a challenge team! Would love to have lots of card makers on the teams in this the busiest card making part of the year. You can earn points for your team by setting challenges, making and sharing cards, commenting on others' creations, and spending crafty $$!

Just realized yesterday that WCD (World Card Making Day) is Saturday October 1st. That should get CARDtober started off with a bang!

Just happy to be here!

Thanks, I just know I would not be able to complete those last few days before the end of the month (unless I get caught up and can do them each day which I am attempting to do) November 7th gives me that breathing room.

I realized I wasn't clear about the points for the CARDtober color challenges. In addition to regular points for creating...

If you are collecting points for the team challenge, your points are as follows:

*Create a card based on the challenge: 2 points
*Apply the twist to a card: 1 point
*PLUS: create the card AND use the twist for a bonus of FIVE points!
