Color Challenge Tuesday

  Yay.. another week, another challenge. I am SUPER excited about these colors!!!  I have been asked how do I pick the colors and it's a simple process.. I look at past colors and go from there. Then.. I pick a color and see if I have that color or something close. I usually start with 2 colors and branch from there. This weeks challenge started the same way, but actually ended with a scraplifted card. I soo love the colors and the actual layout of the card. Of course, my stamp and sentiment are different and the colors are not EXACTLY, but.. THANK YOU, AJ OTTO, for the inspiration. I was flipping through the Cardmaker magazine at the store ( not usually something I do) and saw the card and BOUGHT IT for that one card!! Well, here's the colors and my card.

      Coral
       Lt. Pink 
       Green

Friday's LO Challenge..

  Well, I'm late again posting Friday's LO Challenge. Sorry... The Challenge will require:

    Girl theme
    Ribbon
    Journaling
    Flower

   The snow has been hitting most of us on the East although, we got lucky with just a couple inches. The nasty weather makes me wanna stay in my jammies all day and craft. Well, that's pretty much what I have done. I did get more lil gift bags done and almost completed the LO challenge. I'm soo indecisive it is unreal. So, as soon as I make up my mind, I will post it. Here are a couple projects I have completed the past few days. Happy Crafting!!

Color Challenge Tuesday With a Twist

Well.. another week has came and went. Here we are... Well ladies, I have a treat for you. First things first.. The colors for the color challenge are:
                            Plum pudding ( dark purple)

                           Spring moss ( lighter green)

                           2 or more pattern papers....

                          *** Optional.. WHITE ****

      Oh yea.. getting tougher. I know.. Well.. I wanted to add a lil challenge for you ladies and I have been working on this for a few hours. This is not a MUST do part of the challenge. You could just do the everyday regular color challenge if you choose.... BUT... I want to spice things up.. This is the challenge..

       Use the colors from the ones above and make a PAPER BAG BOOK!!! YEPPER!! That is the challenge. If you choose to do this challenge part.. you will have 2 weeks from today. SO... ALL entries will have to be posted on 2-16-2010. Then.. we will have a vote on the best bag book. Hmm.. are you ready for this part??? My KIDS will vote on the winner. This means 3 kids with 3 different personalities HAVE to agree. LOL.. So.. I thought this would be the fairest way to vote. For those who don't know.. my kids are 14, 13, and 9 years old... Hope that helps...
       Ok.. so.... what do you win??? Well.. MY bag book of course. I know.. it isn't all that, but I would sure LOVE to give it to someone.. FLAWS and ALL!! I will stamp and sign the back as I am a stickler for claiming our own work. I did NOT embellish the inside. Here are some pics..


 

So.. if you wanna play.. Go over to Paper Crafting mania, http://papercrafting.11.forumer.com/index.php register if you are not currently a member... and HAVE FUN!!! Be sure to post pics in the same forum as the challenge. HAPPY CRAFTING!!!
