CCMC194 - Sketch Challenge

Whenever we do a clean and simple sketch challenge we like to follow it up with one with a little more to it and that's what we have for you today!

The layout for this card was inspired by a card in the current catalog although it was changed in a number of ways.  I (Mary) just love using the catalog for ideas...hmmm...do you think that is why they call it an idea book?  Go figure!

Anyway...we want you to have fun with the sketch.

CCMC193 - Color Challenge

Spring is getting closer (HOPEFULLY) and the end of Sale-a-braion is near!  (one good...the other...well, not so good!) This week our color challenge is inspired by some of the colors in the Everyday Enchantment dsp collection!

Oh...I (Mary) have to say that the Everyday Enchantment collection has just been such a favorite of mine.  I do love the smaller images in the paper...for me, that is easier to work with.  But you do not have to stick with the SAB stuff for this one...just have fun and let's celebrate spring getting closer!

Please remember...this is a SUO (Stampin' Up! only) challenges and cards submitted using non-SU items - stamps and paper - will be removed.

CCMC192 - Sketch Challenge

Clean and simple sketches...those are always so much fun.  You can take them for what they are and keep it pretty clean and simple overall or you can dress them up.

This week we have a clean and simple challenge for you and we can wait to see how you all are going to interpret it.  When you are working on the sketch remember that the elements, like the star, are just there as an element and you can use any shape (well...like our design team did!).

Please remember...this is a SUO (Stampin' Up! only) challenges and cards submitted using non-SU items - stamps and paper - will be removed.

CCMC191 - Color Challenge

Happy March everyone!  I (Mary) like March...it means we are getting closer to the official end of winter.  And what a totally weird winter it has been around here!

But you know what?  There's nothing weird about the our color challenge for this week.  I always like the look of blue/yellow/green together and this challenge is putting together some of each that I have not seen paired up.

Please remember...this is a SUO (Stampin' Up! only) challenges and cards submitted using non-SU items - stamps and paper - will be removed.
