Here comes another weekend, wohoo! It's always a time for fun and crafting and for the next two weeks at Stampin' for the Weekend we've made it easy for you, our challenge is "Anything Goes" and we're giving away a surprise prize. It'll be fun. (Sorry for the mix up if you are re-reading this, my post is edited and deletes the sponsor who was named earlier)
Today is a sad day for us at SFTW. This is going to be our last challenge . The challenge has been around for a long time and there are so many followers that it was a very difficult decision to make but it was time. I'm not sure when SFTW weekend started but it was around for awhile before I joined the Design Team in January of 2011. I've been very lucky to work with a lot of very talented and fun women who I am going to miss seeing on a regular basis. But if there's one thing I've learned since I've started posting cards and playing in challenges, you meet the friends you've made in one place at another place. So as sad as I am to say goodbye to SFTW, I know that this is an opportunity for someone to grow and that I will see each an everyone of my buddies again. I want to thank Rebekah (Berrylicious), our team coordinator and artist extraordinaire, who did all the hard work and put her soul into our blog for so long. Without her, we would have perished years ago. Thank you sweetie, I hope you bloom wherever you're planted.
We'd love to see you play in our last challenge, but please remember, just one entry and no back linking. If you've got some time stop over at Rebekah's blog and leave her some love. For that matter, I think everyone on the DT could use a little extra love today so if you've got some time for comments these are the gals who could really use it.

It's time for the a new Pile It On challenge. This week we're challenging you to use either warm or cool colors. Warm colors are reds and yellows. Cool colors are blues and purples. Click here to see a some images of color wheels showing the division of warm and cool colors.
The week our sponsor is the The Paper Nest. They are offering a $25.00 gift certificate to the winner. What a great prize!
Just this afternoon, while we were out riding our bikes my husband pointed out the first fall decoration he'd seen and then we saw our first Halloween decorations. It's time to get the witches and pumpkin stamps out. Pull out your purple and green papers and have some fun. I really enjoy making fall and Halloween cards. I love the rich colors and I absolutely love all the horror, gross and gory stuff for Halloween. I'm not too fond of the slasher movies or fright shows at the theme parks but I do like decorations and since there isn't much of a seasonal color change on the Gulf Coast the decorations and card making are all I get.
You don't have to make a Halloween card, or a fall card, just make something with either a warn color palette or a cool color palette. Don't forget to link it up to the Pile It On challenge blog and at least on other challenge (but we hope you'll try to find more).
