Now for the this weeks Challenge…….hmm time for some colour!!!

And here are my samples for you :

Here I have used the One of a kind stamp set from Stampin’Up, and used my markers to ink it up. The papers are from the Afternoon Tea DS paper pack. I have paper pierced and added wide Chocolate grosgrain ribbon, and antique brass brads.

And a little scrap page…… i really hate scrapping myself for on my blog! But today I was stuck for a photo and since the colours are fairly femenine I only really had this one. Ah well.

So I have used again some Afternoon Tea papers, the guava, and soft sky double stitched ribbon, as well as I have coloured up the flower with my guava re-inker, and blinged it with some glitter. The background is the Tres Chic background stamp.

Then last of all I made this very quick card…..which I think is a little boring to be honest! Ah well. I have used the True friend and short and sweet stamp sets. I added paper piercing, antique brass brads, soft sky double stitched ribbon for embellishment.

So there you have it…..this weeks challenge. I really hope you can play along this week, and I really look forward to seeing your creations!

I have a mammoth weekend ahead of me with the big Hostess Appreciation Day tommorrow, and finalizing a new project for Monday that I am super excited to share with you……so stayed tuned, I will be back soon.

Oh and have a  great weekend too!

Love Keesh

    Hi Keesh,

    Thanks for a great challenge and for listing our blogs.
    I thought I’d let you know my blog address is mispelt, it should be

    http://preciosodesigns.blogspot.com/

    I think you have added a u in there, looks like you might have though it was called precious designs but it’s actually precioso designs which is gorgeous translated into spanish.

    By the way I love the glitter effect on your website, it looks fantastic!

    Paula : )

    Thanks for choosing my card Keesh. I enjoyed that sketch heaps. Love the colours for the new challenge, so hope I get a chance to join in the fun again.

    These are all so beautiful! Love the colors - really miss Groovy Guava over here….maybe we’ll get it back! :-) I will be so jealous of you having Christmas on the beach. It’s COLD here right now! But it’s the day-after-Thanksgiving over here, and that means SHOPPING!! Lots of bargains to be had - and I feel it’s my patriotic duty to help stimulate the economy. Wish me luck - here I go out into the frightening world of SALES! LOL!! Have a good weekend,
    Kim

    Hi Keesh!
    I actually really love the “boring” one! It is very pretty! One of these days I am going to submit a card for your challenge … but until then … I am enjoying everyone else’s!
    Stampin’ Hugs, Andrea

    Hey Keesh,

    I would have to agree with you, Chantelle’s card
    is beautiful!

    Thanks for the new challenge, will have to have
    a go tommorrow. I am heading off on holidays
    for the next 2 weeks to the beach and I’m not sure if they have internet coverage. I’ll have withdrawels.

    I told my husband I was taking some stamping stuff to do while I was away. You should have seen the look on his face and the groan that came out of him. Tell you what it is going to be hard to decide what to take. Do you think he’ll let me pack it in his boat…LOL

    Anyway of to cook tea.

    Thanks again for the challenge and the great samples.

    Cheers,
    Kristy

    Fabulous colours this week! I don’t think I use our ‘in colours’ as much as I should.
