Saturday Shoutout

Hello, folks! 

Thank you for your patronage this year-- it's been a blast playing with you all in 2017, and 2018 will be even better! 

We hope you're all enjoying some family and friend time during the holidays. 

Thanks for joining the "Let's Play Tag" challenge at Shopping Our Stash a couple weeks ago.  We had all fabulous entries, but decided that the following three were our faves (closely followed by three more... hard to choose!):
Keti
Karen
Stef

Thanks again.  Proudly grab our badge from the sidebar.

You still have until Monday night at 11:55 EST to play along with our current Gah! PINK! challenge!  See you over there.

Shopping Our Stash #334 - Gah!! PINK!! - A tribute to Leslie Hanna

Happy Tuesday to you and thanks for visiting our challenge blog!

As most of you know, our dear friend and teammate, Leslie Hanna, passed away suddenly two years ago on Christmas Day. We all miss her friendship and her incredibly snarky sense of humor. The SOS Crew always thinks about her, but even more so at this time of year, so we thought why not honor her life with a Gah!! PINK!! challenge?

If you knew her, she really hated the color pink. So much that on those rare occasions where she needed to use said color, she always, always referred to it as Gah!! PINK!!

So that is your challenge: use the color Gah!! PINK!! on your card or project. You are welcome
to use other colors, just make sure pink features predominately.

Here's what the Design Team came up with:

Barbara

Chris

Lauren

Deena

Cyndi

Mimi

Maria

Donna


Please note: This will be a two week challenge, as the Design Team will be taking the rest of the
year off to be with family and friends for the holidays.

As always, we would love for you to join our crew and play along.


Here are a few details to keep in mind:
 
You have until 11:55 PM (EST) on Monday January 1, 2018 to upload your project using the Inlinkz below. 

Make sure your link is a direct link to your new project, not just a link back to your blog, and please no more than 13 combined challenges, including ours.

On behalf of the SOS CREW, we'd like to wish you Happy Holidays and all the best
for 2018! Thank you for playing along with us!
