Default Challenge Blog

The challenge blog I have been following for a few years is closing down. Can anyone recommend a good challenge blog to follow that isn't linked to a specific company? I found a few nice ones, but you had to use their products to submit. I like to resort to the challenges when my mojo has taken a vacation or when I need some new ideas or inspiration. Thanks!

I have never followed a challenge blog before but this looks and sounds like a lot of fun. I will definitely be entering some of these challenges! I love the winner of last weeks challenge such a beautiful card.

If you're looking for a sketch challenge, Freshly Made Sketches have fantastic sketches posted every Wednesday.

And if you want to get a head start on your Christmas Cards, Merry Monday have a weekly challenge that's a lot of fun.

Also, depending on your stamping style, there are a heap of CAS challenges out there:

CASology
CAS(E) This Sketch
Addicted to CAS

to name a few.

And let's not forget the challenges here on SCS .

I love challenges and now struggle to make a card without at least one challenge to get me started!

Have fun!

None of the Splitcoaststampers daily challenges are vendor specific. You can find a list of them here:
Splitcoast Challenges Forums: Daily Challenges Throughout the Week
Although Stampin' Up colors are used for reference in the Color Challenges, SU products are not required.

You can also find a slew of challenge blogs on this site: Paper Playful
Some of them may be linked to certain companies, but many are not.

None of the challenge blogs linked in my signature are specific to any company, either. 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown is a fun way to get started on your holiday cards. CAS - Colours and Sketches alternates color challenges and sketch challenges to create clean and simple styled cards. Both of those are weekly challenges. Cards in Envy presents a new challenge every two weeks; these are theme challenges, but the "in Envy" part of the challenge means that your card must be A2 sized with no lumpy bumpy embellishments, so that it can be mailed in a standard envelope with no additional postage.

I hope you'll find something to your liking!
