New Challenge 4 you!

Published by Makeesha at 7:34 am under Cards, Colour Challenges, Scrapbooking

Hey there!

Sorry about the delay in getting this up for you! I have like I said before pretty busy with all this computer “Stuff”! I have managed to get that slide up, thanks to a good chat with my friend Steff……her poor hubby thought he was going to miss out on lunch with me on the phone! But it is all sorted and super dooper easy too! So I will defintely be doing that again!

So for this week’s challenge, it is time to pull out some colours and get busy!

These colours together are a bit of a different combo, but you will be suprised at how good they look. AND you can still do femenine cards with it too.

Here are my samples for you: - I don’t have time for all the product detail, but if you have a question please just email me!

Here i have used the Oh So Lovely Stamp set, and the new Wide stitched ribbon!

Some Seaworthy….

And last of all a Scrap page of Elijah (DS 7)

Now if you would like to play along with the Colour Challenge (which of course I would love you to!) all you need to do is to create your projects, and come back here to add your link so that I can see it, and judge the winning entry for the week.

After spending an obscene about of time trying to link everyone up, I have decided it would be best to start using Mr. Linky, that other blogs have used as well…….Not that I am counting myself as one of the “Up there” challenge people, but it really is just so much technically easier for me. The more spare time I have the more time I have to stamp and share with you!

I have been trying to get Mr. Linky to work, but it seems that he has gone on holidays and just doesn’t want to work at the moment (same is happening to other blogs as well) and well as soon as he gets back, I will add him to the bottom of the post, so you can add your links in there.

For now though, just do as usual by adding a comments on the end of this blog entry, and then I will add them to Mr. Linky later.

You have until 11:59 pm on Thursday 22nd January to have your links all posted, and I will judge them and let you know the pick of the week on Friday.

 

 

Have fun playing……..I so can’t wait to see your creations!

Love Keesh

    I gave this a go last night… I love the colours, but it’s funny once they get the word challenge put in front of them they really become that for me, lol….weird?!

    I played with this card for much longer than I should have ;) Lovely colours, but for some reason I just couldn’t get the balance right!

    It’s amazing how colours you wouldn’t normally think to use together can look so great - that’s the benefit of the challenge! A great combo for ‘boy’ cards too. Thanks for the inspiration. Judy.
