Please forgive me if this is not the time or the place for this but seeing this subject raised yet again has really saddened me. I make one post a day, my cards are usually made for a purpose AND a challenge. There are numerous posts on here whereby people post 'a card I made today', 'More cards I made today', 'a card for a friend' - often times more than once a day from one person. I love this and the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. For the life of me I find it hard to understand why my work and posting has to be treated like it is second rate and shuffled off to one corner just because it may be linked in with a challenge too. I enjoy checking out all the posts that refer to creations made by others and try to give as much encouragement as I receive. I would have thought that the kindest, non discriminatory solution would be to have a 'show and tell thread' where every one posts their cards whether it be a challenge card or 'a card I made today'! At the end of the day there is no difference - it feels like I, amongst others are being 'got at' for getting our inspiration from doing the challenges. I am beginning to feel very unwelcome on what I always felt was the kindest, most supportive community of crafters online.
