Challenge 75 - Anything Goes/Include a Pumpkin and a Design Team Call for 2026

 Hello and welcome back to the challenge blog!

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our last challenge - we really appreciate you joining in.

Don't forget to come back here on 25 October to see who is the winner and top 3 was from last month's challenge and of course to see more inspiration from the Design Team for our current challenge.

All our challenges are now 'anything goes' with an optional theme for you to follow.  Our Design Team will use the optional theme but you can choose whether to or not.

Before we talk about today's new challenge, we're running a Design Team Call for some new team members for 2026!

What we are asking from you:

- Create 1 project per month following our optional challenge theme.

- Promote our challenge and your creations on social media.

- Comment on your numbers during the challenges and take your turn choosing the top 3 entries

 - You don't need to have any previous DT experience but you do need to have a blog

- You need to have Facebook account, because our team communication happens there.

You can choose what StarStampz image you like to use in your creation (as long as you follow the optional theme). We are pretty easy going team!

If you are interested in joining us or have any questions, just send email to madebyhelenblog@yahoo.com
