365 Days Sober

Hi, friends! I'm celebrating a very personal goal along with this week's fun and funky color challenge palette - red, green, kraft and chartreuse. Yep, one year ago, inspired by some kick ass women, I decided to go sober for 100 days. I knew long before I reached 100 days that this was my new normal and I'm so damn happy to say that I've met another milestone this week - 365 days sober!

Color Throwdown #616

Welcome to Color Throwdown Challenge #616! This week's colors are cranberry, kraft and cream. I used a sweet snowman image from The Cat's Pajamas and colored it with Zig markers. The cute sentiment is from Kerri Bradford's stamp set, Merry.

O Holy Night | Merry

Here's more inspiration from the CTD Team:

CTD 615 - Spooky Halloween!

Welcome to this week's spooky Halloween themed Color Throwdown Challenge. I'm absolutely in love with the inspiration piece...like so much that I'm thinking I should auction off some of my 'stuff' and buy myself a GlowForge. They sure do come with a hefty price tag though. Uffda. I digress. My card is a fun mix of stamped images from Reverse Confetti and my favorite die cut numbers from The Cat's Pajamas. I hand trimmed the white tag, and the kraft layer is the negative die cut of my favorite skinny trees from Your Next Stamp.

Color Throwdown 613 - Blessings

For some reason, fall seems like a wonderful time to count our blessings and since daily gratitude practice is actually shown to generate new neural pathways, why not count them twice!

I for one am grateful for another beautiful color challenge to play with this week; another chance to connect with the online crafting community through our sweet weekly challenge; and another chance to fill social media with beautiful creations in orange, red and purple. Have I convinced you yet? Check out the team links below and let your happy neurons start popping!

Color Throwdown 611 - Just A Note

Hi, friends!
Welcome to this week's color challenge - grey, khaki and green.
I just love, love, love this color combo and hope you love it, too!

My card features a sweet succulent image from Paper Smooches which is no longer available. After heat embossing the image, I used Zig markers to loosely watercolor it. The sentiment is also from Paper Smooches as well as the ring trio die cut layer.

Let's see what the rest of the team has crafted up with this week's colors...
