I WANT CANDY - Enjoy the Little Things Colour Challenge

It's time for another crafty colour challenge!

Sorry it's taken so long to post an inspiration picture....I kept waffling back and forth and I was quite indecisive about what the next colour challenge should be.

I wanted something different from the last batches of colour and I wanted to stay away from MY personal 'go to colours'...which always seem to be chocolate and "insert colour here".

I said out loud to myself (and I'm so pathetically food centric) "what do I like other than chocolate..?" and then my inner-self replied "candy". I know, right? <--pathetic!!

So I give you the "I WANT CANDY" or "ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS" colour challenge. OH and since candy is little, that's why you should have several. I'm just sayin....


So you have two weeks to submit your crafty goodness using the following colours:

• pretty in pink
• almost amethyst
• apricot appeal
• barely banana
• sage shadow
• whisper white (not listed but always accepted)

You do not have to use ALL of the colours listed, but be assured that if you DO...I will totally be WOW-ed. You will have wow-ed me.

OH, and see that little crown on the bubble gum wrapper...if you manage to work in a crown into your project(s)...I will be SUPER WOW-ed.

So who remembers the song "I Want Candy"? Who's got that going through their head now? What is your favourite candy? I'm curious...talk to me, leave me comments!

For those of you playing in the challenge, the deadline will be March 28, 2010 ( I'm feeling generous with time!!). Go crazy! Go create!

Please remember to submit a DIRECT link to your project (not just your blog address, but the link to the atual post that you want us all to admire!). If you don't blog, no worries...you can use a photo site such as Flickr or if you've posted to a gallery like Splitcoast Stampers...just hook us up through there!

Happy Creating! Please use the submission tool here:

Colour Challenge - Curry Chicken

Colour Challenge 2 now being served! May I entice you with a little Curry Chicken?

Let me tell you how this challenge came to be...I was folding laundry and my eyeballs were drawn to this tea towel. The designs are crisp and clean and interesting. The details are excellent. The contrast of the colours is delicious. I like contrast (I miss those nautical themed clothes from the late 80's) white, blue...but this my friends...has a kick of red and Crushed Curry. BAM! <---ha!


Your colours for the Curry Chicken challenge are: Real Red, Night of Navy, Crushed Curry and Whisper White.

You MUST use these colours...and from there...there are no rules. Pick your own theme or use the collage I designed with My Digital Studio as inspiration. You can go country kitchen like the tea towel, go nautical...you decide! Edited to add: If you do not have the Stampin' Up! colours of cardstock, please feel free to substitute any colour of cardstock or papers that you have that come CLOSEST to the colours listed!

I'll leave the challenge open until February 10th, that gives us 2 weeks to create, inspire one another and above all...to have FUN! Don't forget...I'll also do a roundup photo when the challenge is closed, to show-off all of your creative works!

Use the Mr. Linky widget below and submit the link that takes us DIRECTLY to your project (not your blog in general, or your photostream in general, but copy and paste the exact link to your submission). That way we don't have to hunt around and 'guess' which one is your submission...we just get to oooh and ahh over the pretty that you created! Thanky!
