ANNOUNCEMENT

A Fond Farewell to A Beloved Design Team Member

All crafters go through their own crafting journeys, and while it is difficult to part with a friend, we look forward to continuing to keep up with her no matter what is in store for her in the future!

Today, we bid farewell to our talented designer, Darlene.  We thank her for the beautiful projects she shared with us over the past year and wish her the best in her future endeavors. We know that she will be successful in whatever she chooses to do with her talents.

You can find Darlene's creations on her blog and connect with her on Instagram.

We are sad to see this beloved crafter go, but the good news is that she is still around! We look forward to seeing what she creates in the future. 

Before we go, we have exciting news to share with you all.  Come back tomorrow to check out what is new for 2023!

December 2022

 Hello all!  Welcome back to another month at the Colorful Options Challenge! 

This month we celebrate....

Winter White

Thank you for joining us for the Burgundy Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this month too.

Please remember that you can use any shade of winter white in your design, you

may incorporate any neutrals or metallics, and your design does not need to be monochromatic. 

This month, we are partnering with the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for joint collaboration.  It's fun and easy, and you can win more prizes! The Double Trouble Challenge #127 runs from December 2 - December 28th, and their theme is Anything Goes  Thing One asks you to complete a card, and Thing Two would like you to use a rainbow of colors.  Below is their cheerful and whimsical inspiration board.

 Examples from our Design Team incorporate various artistic styles, and we welcome you to do the same!  Do not forget to click on the person’s blog to see all of the details of how we made these creations and leave these wonderful girls some comment love.

Keep in mind that our contest is not limited to paper crafts.  Paint? Ink? Decor? Drawing? ANY artistic endeavor is welcome!!
