The Flower Challenge #85 'Anything Goes' & our 7th Birthday!

Welcome to The Flower Challenge! This is the challenge that celebrates cards using floral images. Our challenge for October is....

This is our 7th Birthday, wow the time has flown, thank you to our Fabulous Design Team and of course everyone who has taken part over the last 7 years.

We are very happy to have a few of our previous Design Team members as extra Guest Designers this month also to celebrate our 7th Birthday!

As you know by now, we had intended to close the challenge but luckily Karren Johnson has agreed to keep it running for us. We are eternally grateful to Karren for taking it all on, and I am sure you will all be happy the challenge is to continue also ;)

It's our 7th Birthday so let's celebrate and make it a challenge to remember!

It would be great if you could add our cue card above when entering our challenge.

Of course, most of all.... have fun!

So, this month our challenge is 'Anything Goes' as well as the usual FLOWERS of course which is a 'must have'!

DT news...

We have another new DT member joining us this month also, please welcome Judy Rozema from Joy in a JAR.

We are sadly saying goodbye to Cara this month - thank you for all the amazing cards you have made us over the years, Cara, you will be sorely missed!

As we mentioned back in August, this is to be the very last challenge for Aileen and I (Viv). We have both decided we can't continue any longer due to various reasons.

Such a sad day for us both, Aileen started this challenge exactly 7 years ago this month. I will still be around to help out with

graphics etc. for a little while but we won't be making cards for the challenge from now on.

It's been such a great challenge as I am sure you all agree and we have had the best Design Team over the years also.

We would like to thank every single member of our fabulous Design Team over the last 7 years... you have been outstanding! and also say a very big thank you to you all for taking part each month and making such glorious cards for us over the years and making a fantastic floral gallery each month.

Some of our previous Design Team members wanted to take part in this last challenge for us both too, see their amazing cards below and thank you so much ;)

We will be back with a Reminder post on the 15th!

Please try and enter our challenge this month and make it the best birthday ever.

hugs

Viv & Aileen xx
