Some of these challenges will be difficult for us as we step out of our own comfort zones while trying new things. We hope you'll challenge yourself in your own stamping and crafting as you play along with us.
OK, now to the challenge! This whole endeavor is a first for all of us, so in keeping with the theme of "Firsts," our challenge this week will be "First Somethings." Challenge yourself to try something entirely new. Attempt a new layout or color combination or a new technique or fancy fold/card style that you've been wanting to try but have been putting off. You could also just keep with the theme of "Firsts" and make a card for a first birthday, a first baby, a first house, a first car, or any other first you can think of. Keep it as simple or as complicated as you'd like.
Everyone who plays along will receive a chance for our blog candy give away! To play, complete the challenge and post your project on your blog. Then link to our blog and leave us a comment. We want to see all those fabulous creations!
Thanks to all of you for playing along! We hope to see you back again next week! The "First Somethings" blog candy winner will be announced next Thursday evening at 7pm ET, be sure to check back. Good luck to everyone!

Fun! I am doing my 1st triathlon next month. I made a card for my friend who is also doing it. I figured since this is our 1st triathlon, this would be a perfect entry for this "First Somethings" challenge! Here's my card: http://fsunagel.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-1st-triathlon.html

Hi there! Here's my blog - www.paperhugs.blogspot.com - there are two projects - the tic tac toe board - which is the first time I have used Cat's Pajamas stamps. Below is the card I gave my mother in law for mother's day. This is the first card I have ever made for her. Hope you like them both.
HI! Congrats on the new site. My SU Demonstrator had your link on her blog, so I thought I'd check it out. I'm about 5 months into stamping and have been intimated by watercoloring, but here's my first attempt (hope I linked this correctly). THANKS for the challenge. Will definately be poppin' in to play.
