So... most of you have realized that we have completely changed forum software. Due to some unexpected non-support from the original devs, we made the decision to cross over into new territory. Well, it isn't new to us, but it is probably new to some of you. We were using phpBB, but unfortunately, you get what you pay for and that software was free!
If you are having trouble navigating the "new" site, or you need to turn off certain features, you can check the "Did You Know?" post in the announcements, or you can just PM a staff member.
Anyway, on to the important stuff!
The SECRET PUMPKIN is open for signups! What is this, you ask? It's a secret gift exchange for Halloween! Halloween is a great holiday for arts and crafts swaps. Anything from cute to creepy. Come have a look and sign up if you want!
Completed - Secret Pumpkin
Secret PUMPKIN! It's the season for sharing! We all know that Christmas comes once a year... but why not more??? Surely, we have more in us to give and receive than one day a year. I know I do! So let's have a Secret HALLOWEEN gift exchange!? Sounds like fun! Starting from today I will take...

Big news!! We finally have our first MEMBER OF THE MONTH!
Huge congratulations to @stuART! I think he greatly deserves our very first monthly recognition. He started out doing a couple of cards and absolutely hated them. However, that did not stop him from trying harder! And here we are, a couple of months later, and he has stacked up his collection. Just imagine what he can do with a couple of years
Let's give a huge round of applause for stuART!
Here are some of his recent cards uploaded to the Media Gallery:
Congratulations and keep on creating! You are doing great!

August Contest Poll
It's getting about time for another contest! I will leave this poll open for about a month. So around July 15th, we will call the contest for August! Unfortunately, the option for guests to vote have been stripped from the software, so you will need to register in order to cast your vote...

Once the poll is closed, the contest will begin on August 1st.
As time progresses, we will have even more contests with even more prizes to win!
