October Challenge Winner and Top Picks + Frequent Players Spotlight and Random Prize Drawing Winner

Judging by the 117 entries we received for the Stamps & Embossing challenge last month, we could tell that you guys don't really like embossing (wet or dry) all that much ;o) Seriously, though...thank you for sharing your wonderful creations! You made it tough to vote for our favorites, but we've got a winner and 4 top picks + 15 super-cool frequent players!

And hey...have you checked out our Never-Ending Anything Goes Challenge? It's a special challenge we have for those of you who have STAMPlorations stamps! We're giving away a stamp set for every 50 entries. There's no limit to how many times you can enter -- enter as many times as you like so long as you use STAMPlorations stamps. And if you don't have a STAMPlorations stamp yet, we've got a free digi stamp you can use.

Again, thanks to everyone who joined us last month! Tomorrow, the November Challenge starts at 6 a.m. PST (GMT -800) so check back in to find out what the theme is this month and see the inspiration projects created by the design team and our guest designer! Sketch Challenge #23 started last Monday, so we'd love it if you joined us there too!

Keep on stampin'!
