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 marks a fond farewell to Sara Lihz, our gifted designer. We express our gratitude for the stunning projects she has contributed throughout the past year and extend our heartfelt wishes for her future ventures. We are confident that her talents will lead her to great success in all her endeavors.

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

This month we celebrate....

Royal Blue

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

Please remember that you may incorporate any neutrals or metallics you need in your design and that your make does not need to be monochromatic.  If royal blue is not to your liking, join us with a rainbow-inspired craft. 

 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 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!!  

If you are a junior maker younger than 18, please post your age behind your name. Thank you!!

Show us your take on the challenge!
