Does anyone do any of these?
The Card Concept posts a new challenge each week, providing a mood picture and some prompts, plus lots of DT examples.
Jen Shultz posts a sketch every week with examples. She also is on a number of DT's and her blog is pretty active with responses to their challenges and product releases.
Taylored Expressions' Share Joy campaign provides a weekly sketch and color cue set and challenges us to send heartfelt messages to friends and people in need. They also have an annual campaign where they collect blank cards to submit to groups who need them.
Leslie, over at Always Playing With Paper gives links to Merry Monday (a weekly Christmas card making challenge) as well as a number of other challenges she is involved in.
Simon Says has a Wednesday challenge each week.
I have been busy scrapping pages lately, but since I need to create a few cards this month, I thought I would check these out. Have entered a card or two in the past, but haven't done much with them. How about you? |

I never enter any of these challenges but I love seeing what everyone does! Everyone is so creative and I get a ton of ideas of inspiration for making my own cards. Thanks for sharing the link, the cards are beautiful! I personally love seeing card creations with the product releases so I can get an idea of what types of cards I can make with new stamps.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has challenges. I've never done one, but if you like stamping and coloring there are some gorgeous cards to check out.

I had one also for project life cards 3x4 or 4x6 size. baby cards. these are for baby albums for a pregnancy center. I have a RAK gift for one who sends me the most cards by June 30th and one for random drawing for month of June.  PM me for address and details. I need 10-15 albums by July 31st (I am buying albums and pages for inside albums but need help with the cards). all supplies used are tax deductible also. |

Yes, I do card challenges and have am currently on two design teams that do primarily card challenges. It is fun to participate in challenges and on occasion be recognized by the challenge! It always makes my day when others like my work! Since most of us craft at home alone these days and not at crops it is hard to have the camaraderie! Retro Rubber Blog Challenge is a ton of fun b/c we ask you to use your stamps that are at least a year old. It is a blast to dig out stamps from when I first started collecting and create new cards! Ruby's Rainbow Challenges is the second where each DT member selects a theme and we rotate through many different ideas! Working off a challenge will often stretch you creatively and inspire you to try new things! A website that I frequent to find challenges is Challenges for Days. It is a good place to start if you are interested in trying out challenges to get you started. |
