Thank you to all the weekly Challenge participants!
I just wanted to say a few thank yous to all the challenge participants....
Thank you to everyone who participates in any of the weekly challenges! Your artwork is so inspiring and I just LOVE to see what everyone comes up with each week. Thank you so much for all your awesome ideas...I can't believe how much I've learned from you all since I started participating in the challenges.
Thank you to all the other challenge posters! I know it takes some time to get the challenges together and remember to post them each week. As you have found out, there are many of us who just can't wait to find out what the challenge of the day is...yes we are addicts! I love the inspiration you provide and I have tried out so many new ideas since joining in. I actually think about color combos and layout now before I start!
Thanks also to everyone who participates in the ways to use it challenge. I have so much fun thinking it up each week and posting it for you. I find it hard to believe that someone actually is interested in what I post.
I also wanted to say....if you DON'T participate in the challenges...what's stopping you?! They are so much fun and everyone is welcome. Yes there are fabulous stampers who play along and there are also new stampers and most of us are just somewhere in between...don't be shy!
Finally....I just wanted to share how my stamping has improved since playing along the past 9 months. First link is before and second is a card from this week.
I LOVE the weekly challenges! They are so inspiring. I am amazed at how much I have learned from the wonderful stampers on this site. Thank you to the people who play and link their creations. And a big thank you to my fellow challenge posters. Since I have started posting the Limited Supply challenge last month, I know how much work you put into them. A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who has been playing in the Limited Supply challenge. I get so excited to see new people join our weekly challenges. I'm hoping we see many more this new year.
As a confessed challenge addict I must thank all the great ladies who hostess each week.You give me a creative workout (that's counts as exercize doesn't it?).
I would also like to thank all the participants who's work I drool over, giggle at (Jen's "Caught a Bug" card - too funny), and say Wow! I gotta try that to.

THANK YOU to all who post challenges weekly. You come up with great ideas. And thanks to all who participate. Such wonderful talent to admire and case! My plan for 2006 is to do some of the challenges.
I have yet to do any of the challenges. Not sure why, I have lots of "excuses" None of them are very good. But after seeing some of the "before" and "after" cards, I will certainly try. Amazing the difference. I am certainly at the "before" stage and would love to get to the "after" stage. Will add do some challenges to my New Year resolutions - right after get off the computer more. Is there a good challenge to start with? Should I just dive into one? I really want to spend more time stamping this year and this would help.

I love the challenges and I know I have become a better stamper because of them. I've learned so many new techniques, layouts and design tricks. Much thanks goes out to all the ladies who come up with ideas each week and great stampers that play along.
Some day I'll get all the colors so I can do the color challenge too. It's the only one I miss out on during the week but I'm trying to follow along anyway.

THank you to all the hostesses that challenge us each and every day! I know my stamping skillz have blossomed with these challenges. At first it was really really hard for me to do them, now I look forward to them every day for the chance to try something new! THANK YOU LADIES!
OMGosh ditto what you all have said! I have become a shameless challenge junkie, too and I LOVE IT! The challenges often force you out of your comfort zone and really make you GROW as a stamper! If you haven't tried them, I really encourage you to do so! They are FUN FUN FUUUNNNNN
I just started doing the challenges and I must say I LOVE them. I'm fairly new to this and it helps me think outside the box. Thanks to all the great hostesses.
I second everything already said -- MANY thanks to those that host each week AND that they have definitely helped me grow as a stamper and develop styles I never would have otherwise. I, too, look forward to them each week and hope that after the holidays I can get back into them (I need a fix!).
I started with the color challenges. I had just started out as a Demo and I was making set samplers - I was making so many in the same colors. I decided to use the challenges to make my samples. Then I tried the other challenges one by one and now my set samplers are varied not only in color but technique.
