Hi, all! It's Wednesday which means a new Color Throwdown Challenge is up and running. I'm also up on the SugarPea Designs blog for Mix It Up Challenge #34 and have combined the two for today's card.

I used sketch from SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #34 and would love for you to play along with this it as well.

Are you ready for more color inspiration from the team?

CASology Challenge - Prickly

Hi, all! I'm so excited to be playing along with the team over at CASology for this week's challenge themed PRICKLY. Of course I had to go with something in the succulent family and chose Lawn Fawn's Stuck On You. The sentiment is Script Greetings from Right At Home. I couldn't resist doing a bit of stamp surgery to change 'deserve' to 'desert' to create the punny sentiment.

design defined:

Lots of open space and limited layers keeps this design clean and simple.

I hope you'll come out and play along with this week's CASology challenge. For complete details and more PRICKLY inspiration, please visit the CASology blog.

Color Throwdown 455

Isn't he adorable?! I just love this cutest monkey ever from SugarPea Designs. I've got him hanging from balloons in shades of this week's Color Throwdown palette - white, aqua, light pink and lavender.

Pastels are usually not my game, so this was a real challenge for me this week. I hope you'll come on out and challenge yourself as well. We'd love to see what you come up with, so please use keywords #colorthrowdown and #ctd455 on social media and CTD455 in public galleries.

I've also used the current sketch from SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #34 and would love for you to play along with this it as well.

Are you ready for more color inspiration from the team?

RC Blog Hop - Color Me Mine

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti August blog hop featuring some of our favorite products from the July release in conjunction with a fun theme - Color Me Mine. Each of the RC designers has chosen a favorite color combination to feature during the hop, and I've chosen Lime Green, Avocado & Tangerine as mine. I love the two shades of green together and the pop that the Tangerine adds.

Along with my color combo, I'm also featuring one of my favorite sets from the July release - No Tomorrow. Such a cute couple of dinos and sweet sentiments as well.

This was my first try at a card in a box, so I kept it pretty minimal as far as layers but added in lots of extra interest with background stamping and die cut flags on which I stamped sentiments and layered No Tomorrow images.

I also decided to add a base to my box since I won't be folding it flat due to the wooden skewers used to pop up the flags. I thought the two shades of green made a nice little bed of grass.

Ok, it's time to hop along. Just follow the order below and enjoy all of the fun color combos the team has conjured up. I can't wait to see them myself. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
