Debbie's Color Combo Challenge #37 - 10-05-09

Hello Friends! Wow. . .in 3 weeks, it'll be Halloween! I can't believe it's almost the end of the year. It's amazing. I hope it's been a good year for all of you so far.
Well, as for Christmas card making, it's been a good year for us on the design team. We've created 37 Christmas cards already. You still have a few weeks to create your Christmas cards and that's the reason for our challenges. To get you started and hopefully, inspired to create your cards.

This week's host is Debbie of the Paper Garden. This week her challenge is a color combo. The colors are Glorious Green, Cool Caribbean, Chocolate Chip, Rick Razzleberry and Night of Navy. Wow, that's a lot of colors. The colors are Stampin Up colors but if you don't have these colors, just use any color that is similar. It don't have to be exact. If you don't have all the colors, try at least 3 colors.

If you need a sketch to follow. . .you may follow the sketch below but it's not part of the challenge. To play along, post a comment with a link to your blog or online gallery such as SCS or PCP. Hope you'll play along this week!!

Hello Friends!! We're on week #33! Wow, it's amazing how time has flown. Just to let you know . . .our challenges will end on November 16. We've been creating challenges since January. Can you believe it? For those who've participated throughout the year, well. . .we'll get to take a break and enjoy the holidays because by November 16, we would have created 40+ cards! Whoohoo! We'll be able to concentrate on other things. . .such as going shopping, hanging out with our families, and just enjoying a less stressful holiday season. But not to worry. . .for those who still need to work on their Chistmas cards. . .you still have time to create your cards.

Well, this week's challenge is hosted by Debbie of the Paper Garden. Whoohoo! It's a fun challenge. . .so be sure to play along! Debbie's challenge for this week is "paper piecing".

**Debbie here: I can remember making paper dolls and outfits for them as a child with my grandma. We would get wall paper sample books to make the outfits with. Paper piecing seems to be "in" again and I would love to challenge you to make a card using this technique. I look forward to seeing what you design. If you need some inspiration for a sketch layout, Maria has drawn one up for you here.**
