There are 4 challenges that have been posted this week. Monday - Thursday. You have until Friday, Oct 9th, 12 pm CST to enter all 4 challenges for a chance to win some stamps. The first challenge is a color challenge.

I thought that the colors were perfect for a Thanksgiving card. The stamps used are Studio G stamps. The colors were not picked up very good in this picture of my card. The two darker strips of paper are actually suppose to be the ruby red color (well, I used more of a burgundy than red) and it is showing up brown in this picture. But I really liked how the card turned out and I hope you do too. Here it is:
