playing around with some challenges

02/22/2010

i've been playing with some challenges lately…. its fun to use a card challenge as a stepping stone into card creating. It's a great way to get an idea to get started, if you're in a creative rut

this is a color combo challenge that is posted over on the a muse lounge there is new challenges posted every month.. and you even have a chance to win a prize!! can't beat that!! i chose to create a card using the color combo orange crush, papaya, and sky blue

connie, who is an a muse fan and has been in some of my classes before is collectiong cards for her dad's 80th birthday… what a fun idea ๐Ÿ˜‰ she mentioned he liked john deere…. so i put together this card!

 kim howard is on the stampotique DT and she left me a comment the other day about some fun challenges they are doing over on their blog… so i created this "love" themed card for that ๐Ÿ™‚ i used watercolor crayons, and added glossy accents over the "xoxo" and the hearts on their shirts. all stamps are stamptoique, except the BIG heart which is by christine adolph

and last but not least.. this is a challenge to stay tuned to ๐Ÿ™‚ kimberly visits us often at colorful creations, and little did she know she was going to become a cardmaker ๐Ÿ™‚ she has been scrapbooking forever. she purchased this stamp at the store because it is sooo fun.. but she has been struggling with what to do with it… so i told her i would take it home and see what i could come up with ๐Ÿ™‚ …. so stay tuned!

    These cards show your diverse creativity/talent. From cute to quirky. I am quite amused with the quirky card. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Looks like you were having fun – great job. I have challenges on my blog on Mondays *wink* although I haven’t posted yet today. Your tractor card would fit perfectly for last week’s challenge.
    Thanks for sharing. Always love to see what you are creating.
