Color Throwdown Challenge #845

 

Hello to all of our friends across the globe. Susie here with what will be our final Color Throwdown post. We have challenged you for 15 years and have treasured each card we have seen through the years. But now we have reached the end of our very colorful journey together. 

Even though we won't have another Featured Stamper, we wanted to give you the chance to take this one last challenge with us. We will leave the linky open until December 1. We would love for you to play along one more time.

Today I want to share some team members from our past. Barbara Anders founded this challenge along with Tammy Hershberger, LeAnne Pugliese and Broni Holcombe. Sadly Barbara has passed away, but I was able to go back and find a photo and one of her beautiful cards for this challenge.


Next up is Leigh Ann Pugliese:
 

 Here is close up of her beautiful card:
 
 
 
Next is Tammy Hershberger:
 

 And she graciously shared this card with us:
 

 
And Broni Holcombe (@bronih) sent us this beautiful message and card:
 
❤️ I am so grateful for having been a part of this wonderful challenge blog and to have served with so many loving and talented other artists on this team over the years.  Most of all I'm grateful for everyone who has played along with us and who have become real friends over the years as well. ❤️
  

We owe Color Throwdown and its commitment to excellence to these ladies. I am forever grateful. 



We also have our Featured Stamper from 2 weeks ago. Carol McFarland has joined us MANY times and we are thankful we could honor her today:


 

And our final Featured Stamper is Michele Ferguson. She too has been a faithful follower and again, we are happy to showcase her:

 

 

Now here are cards from our amazing team:

With love and gratitude,
