October Peeps Challenge

Hi Peeps,

Well, we just arrived home from the big wedding in Mexico. My stepson married a girl from Merida and the wedding was there last Saturday. Goodness, the wedding was quite an affair--we left about 2:00 am and that was early!

I wanted to get this challenge posted before we left but just never got it done. For the theme, of course I thought of Halloween first--the October holiday for many of us. But I really like color challenges and found this wonderful photo on Tori Jayne's website.

Aren't these colors yummy! Hopefully there are plenty of possibilities--polka dots, cupcakes, doilies, cherries, twine!! Play around and see what you can come up with using at least three of the colors above.

I am SO behind and so will need to post my entry a little late! I have piles of laundry and no food in the house!!

Be back later!

Hugs,

Sharron

Happy Birthday Nerina

Happy Birthday Sharron!

September! Peeps Challenge

Hello there Peepsters! 

I thought it would be fun to pull inspiration from several places for this months challenge. It's the time of year when things are being harvested from our gardens. Farmer's Markets are at their peek with yummy produce. Autumn smells are starting to emerge along with the colors for that season too.

The challenge is to make a card or project or gift set incorporating a fall/harvesting theme. 

You could use Papertrey's Friendship Jar sets or Just For You set on recipe cards. How about the Wreath for All Seasons or the newest stamp set, Simple Sunflowers. I really liked the square wreaths I saw at William Sonoma. That last one shown is called the Larkspur. Had to include it along with everything else as I live near a town called Larkspur! And don't forget Fruit! 

There is no time limit for entering this. I haven't even finished the other months prior to this one! Just have fun and post it for all to see and get inspired by. I'll be making my entry this weekend and add it to this post later. Enjoy! Carol

Happy Birthday Angy

August Challenge

Well, here I am a couple days late and probably several dollars short. I know we've all had a busy summer and ours has just flown. It's been full of grandchildren and activities (are you sure we only have three?). Don't misunderstand, I love them dearly and treasure every minute we have with them. But it's a job in and of itself. And I haven't touched a stamp since mid-June! Enough about me.

I don't know what it's like where you live, but we've been roasting here with record breaking temperatures. I know the Midwest has been sweltering and Texas is suffering from a horrible drought. So I thought it would be fun to "Chill Out"! Make a project that speaks of cool to you. Take it literally or figuratively. Want to start on holiday projects? Here's your chance. Or maybe you're dreaming of cool ocean breezes with icy cocktails with umbrellas. Whatever your thoughts, let's all "Chill Out"! Hope that sounds cool. Add your link below. I wanted to have a sample ready but that doesn't seem probable until next week. I'll be back to add that.

July Challenge ...

Okey Dokey Peeps! I'm all ready here ... :0)

I wanted to share a new place that came across my radar screen lately - everyone out there already know about Cath Kidston? I recently had the fun of going into a store and really didn't want to leave!

How much fun are fabrics like these? Or how about this batch? Who wouldn't like to add a couple of mugs like these to the kitchen? And I was pretty sure that I *needed* a new bag urgently!

Unfortunately they haven't employed me as their new marketing manager (in case you're wondering), but I came away with a heaping dose of patterns and colours in my head!

So the challenge!

Is to take some inspiration from any picture or combination of pictures from the site ... but if you use co-ordinating scraps (those lonely little bits) of patterned paper from your stash and incorporate a flower - you get extra points in my book!



What do you think? Ready to play?

I hope you're a tad inspired and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!





Have a good one :0)!
