What??? F4A1??? That stands for Free for All #1 � that�s right, my friends!! A brand spankin� NEW challenge!!!
Why the change, you may ask? Well, all of us LSC Hostesses got together (okay, well not maybe PHYSICALLY, but pm-ing is a wonderful thing!) and decided we needed to shake it up. The LSC has long outworn its initial intent � to allow us to create even if we didn�t have much to work with (and we ALL know that we DO now!).
Soooo�.. we have decided to try something BRAND new and FUN!! We call it the �Free for All� challenge, which will take the place of the LSC. What does that mean, exactly?? Well, basically it is more of an �anything goes� type of challenge. One week it may be a combo sketch/color challenge; the next week it may be a technique, an inspiration or any sort of combination of any sort of thing we come up with. The BEST part is that it is going to be FRESH and NEW every week!!! Kinda like Forest�s mama says, ��you never know what you�re gonna get!�
Without further adieu, here is our very FIRST �Free for All� challenge. The challenge today is to use textures (think embossing folders, ribbons, and/or flowers, etc. � most embellishments fit into this category!), and at least ONE color that is one you don�t NORMALLY use (be sure to identify it in your card description). The third part, which I am leaving OPTIONAL is to use some patterned paper in your creation. Easy enough, right??? Now, GO GET �EM!!!
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Ooooh, this sounds cool. And, I think I get to use the remnant of the lace doily I cut up yesterday, once I can work out what colour to use .
I didn't even check this thread, wasn't expecting the early post, but I found a thread up in GST saying the announcement had been made.
Here's looking forward to the new look F4A challenges - thanks, ladies.
Kudos, kudos to you, Wendy, and the other members of the team. I think this new Thursday challenge format is going to be great! I'm enjoying it already! THANKS!
I know on Thursdays I used supplies...but rarely limited myself! This challenge is going to be fun. I like that the guidelines will change every week....makes us look forward to it even more!
HAD to play in the first ever Anything Goes Challenge!!! I challenged myself to come up with texture WITHOUT a bow since I almost never go bowless....and this is what I came up with:
Eek this sounds way cool...and who doesn't want to participate in a challenge called the "Free for All", yippee! Off to play cause it's a SNOW DAY, our first of the season, whoooot!
Awesome new challenge! Thanks. So, after screwing up my upload (so many things I did wrong) and getting it straightened out, here is my card: My day is really off to a bad start. Yikes!

A fun new challenge. Because I've been sick all week, I haven't done a challenge since last Friday -- but I wanted to try the new one. Here's my card --
