{Color iNspiRed: Black, White & Red}

I’m back! I’m still a little tired (even after a relaxing weekend) but I’m back and ready to attack the week ahead. This week’s color challenge was inspired by my hubby (because my brain was mush yesterday).

JOIN THE CHALLENGE:  Create something with today’s color inspiration and upload it to the Flickr group I have created for this weekly challenge. You're creation can be anything you've made (photography also counts). Uploading your project may get you featured here on the blog! So what are you waiting for? Let’s get crafty!
The winner of last week’s color challenge is KisforCalligraphy! She submitted these awesome seals. Congrats girl! Email me your addy and I send you a little something.
Happy Crafting!

{A Scrappy Design’s Design Team}

For a while I have thought about having a design team. Since I work a full-time job, I hardly have time to create the handmade embellies that are always floating around in my head much less make stuff using those embellies. After much though, I decided it was time. I received several applicants from some very talented ladies which made it very hard to decide but I was finally able to make a decision. I am very excited about the “chosen ones” and can’t wait to get started with their assignments! So, without further adieu, please help me welcome the new Design Team (in no particular order).

{Wreck this Journal Wednesday}

Ok, so I’m joining the game . . . a little late, I know. I have hopped on the Wreck this Journal bandwagon and I am sooooo excited! I’ve even managed to get my sweet artistic hubby to agree to join in on the fun by Wrecking his own Journal (now I just need to go buy him a copy).

So, here’s my first page. Two things about this page:
#1:  I need to be a little more creative . . . this page is boring (note to self: fix it!)
#2:  I evidently cannot follow directions. I always mess up on forms and this page was too much like a form. LOL  (Notice that I did not follow instructions by writing my name as instructed on the appropriate lines. )
If you’ve Wrecked your own Journal, I would love to see it! Pin It

{It’s Coming . . . }

Against my wishes, Fall is coming whether I like it or not. You see, I am a summer baby . . . the hotter the better. For me, the only good thing about Fall is college football, new seasons of my favorite TV shows, and these fabulous fall*ish finds:

{Home Sweet Home}

In the last couple of years I have become such a home body. Having a cozy little studio where I can be creative has definitely contributed to that fact.  Home is where I want to be.

{Color iNspiRation: Pink & Navy}

It’s time for a new color challenge! Before I show you the new color combo, let’s review last week’s Color iNspiRation. Last week we had blue, black and red. Tessa, owner of PrecociousPaper, submitted the cutest altered canvas.

KisforCalligraphy submitted these fabulous tartan plaid seals.

Both of these gals have wonderful Etsy shops. You should check them out sometime!
Ok, now for the color challenge! This week is Navy and Pink. In my search for the perfect mosaic I, once again, had trouble finding creations with these two colors together. I’m not sure why because they compliment each other perfectly!

JOIN THE CHALLENGE:  Create something with today’s color inspiration and upload it to the Flickr group I have created for this weekly challenge. You're creation can be anything you've made (photography also counts). Uploading your project may get you featured here on the blog! So what are you waiting for? Let’s get crafty!

{Rain, Rain, Go Away!}

We haven’t seen as much rain here as other parts of the country have this summer but right now it’s thundering, lightening, and pouring. Our chance of rain the last two days was around 20-30% . .  .  .  go figure.
The good thing about it is that it inspired today’s post!
