Can you believe it...tomorrow is December 1st (and for all you SU demos out there...let the PRE-ORDER BEGIN!!!).  I (Mary) am NOT ready for the holiday season to start.  Probably a number of you are feeling the same way too!

CCMC176 - Sketch Challenge

One of the things I (Mary) like about sketch challenges is when overall it is a pretty basic sketch and then see how people either keep it nice and simple or to see how you 'dressed it up'.

Well...today is one of those kind of sketch.  It uses a basic color blocking technique but instead of all over the card, just on part of the card, not the whole thing!  We can't wait to see what you do with it!

As a reminder...

WE ARE STAMPIN' UP! ONLY challenge.  Please do NOT use non-SU stamps and paper as we will remove your link.

The challenge team has some GREAT inspiration to get you going...

CCMC175 - Top 3

I don't know why but I'm REALLY liking color challenges where one of the 'colors' is black (this is Mary speaking).  For some reason the black just seems to make the other colors and 'pop' and 'pop' really is a GREAT way to describe YOUR submissions...FABULOUS!!!  I hope you all took the time to look...so many truly DELIGHTFUL ideas!

And so..let's get right into the top 3 for this week...
