I'd like to give a special shout out to our sponsor, Sparkle, who also joined in on a couple of our challenges. She's a talented card maker herself, and here is one of the fabulous cards she shared with us last week.

And your Weekly Challenge All-Stars for last week are....

Paula M., Cre8tiveVet, Charolette Jones and Forgotten Scraps

There are some new names up here and we're so glad that you stuck around and participated all week long!!!

Let's get to the challenge for today....

I don't know about you, but I've got several pads of patterned paper just itching to be used. When you're a card maker, a little bit of paper goes a long way, and we often end up with a lot left over. So here's my challenge to you - grab some patterned paper (from the same manufacturer and the same line), and use at least 3 different corresponding patterns - no solid color sheets allowed! It might seem like a no brainer, because of course the papers are made to go together, but too many patterns together can get a little busy.

Let's take a look at Gloria's card for today:

It's beautiful with a Fall theme and color scheme. The papers she chose are all from the Basic Grey Pyrus line. And front and center is an image from The Character Cafe - beautiful!

If you're really looking for a challenge, see if you can use 4 or 5 patterns from the same line...
