Color my World ...

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. ~Allen Klein

Good morning!

Well here we are ... into the second week of May already and the start of a new color challenge at The Outlawz Challenges.

This month our sponsor is Maris Digis and our challenge this week comes from Kimberly with this lovely Palette. You just need to use 3 of the 5 colors! Easy Peasy.

Good morning!

The first challenge of May for Through the Craft Room Door begins today.

Our sponsor this week is Rick. St. Dennis with a lovely prize of 2 images from his collection.

I love clovers and knew when I saw "Clover Cup" that I really just wanted to highlight them so I opted for a black and grey color tone with just the clovers colored in.

I used alcohol markers in about 5 different shades of green then added the die cut image to the card base with dimensional foam.

Good morning!

Lots going on today, this is my 2nd post of the day to announce the start of a new challenge for SheepSki Designs! For my card today, I am using Becca, Image 25. I really love the oriental flair of this particular image and thought it would go great with some origami paper my daughter bought for me when she lived in Japan and it is a great image with lots of occasion possibilities.

Good morning!

WOW .. Can you believe it! 4 months gone --- POOF! --- just like that! Now we are on the 1st day of May and I'm a little shell shocked as I try to come to grips with how time seems to move on faster than it did when I was a kid.

Today is also the start of a new Progressive Freebie at The Outlawz Challenges. Each month we will send you a free digital image to use in the Freebie/Progressive challenge. Once your creation is completed, upload it into the freebie challenge and you will automatically receive the next month free digi.  We will have one image per month so you have plenty of time to create a project using the image.

To receive your image, please register with your name and email address to: outlawzprogressivechallenge@gmx.com
