Chic of the Week #47

Wow! I had a difficult time choosing from among several entries this week! So many pretty interpretations of my hot pink, teal and lime green color palette. But in the end, I had to go with this card by Tangii Crain.
I really loved how she made the challenge colors her focal point of the card. I just kept coming back to look at this lovely card and had to make it the Chic of the Week card! Congratulations, Tangii! You can contact me to get your Chic of the Week badge!

Now what were the other cards that made me go "Oooooh"?

Monique's "Winter Welcome" card was so pretty using these non-traditional holiday colors.

Amy's "Remember This" card used the most amazing patterned paper that included the challenge colors. I also loved the ribbon embellishments in the middle.

Janine's card looked like a trellis with flowers climbing up it. So pretty.

Pattie's card was just so feminine and girly. Her image was just so cute!

Jenn's card was another holiday card that looked so pretty with these colors. Loved the stitching she did on the perimeter as well.

Congratulations to all of you for your beautiful creations!

Thanks so much for playing with us this week! I loved all the entries and we hope to see you participating in our template challenge coming up tomorrow! See you then!

JUGS #47 - A Color Challenge

Hi everyone! Lisa here with what I think is a fabulous color challenge for you! I was thinking that summer is near an end and that I wanted some fun, bright, summery colors to work with. So I chose hot pink, teal, and lime green! I got my inspiration from Cosmo Cricket's DeLovely paper if you need some inspiration.

Here's what Jo Westfoot, our August Guest Designer, did with them.

And here is inspiration from the fabulous
