WWW: Wonderfully Wicked Wednesday #4

Welcome Friends! Here it is the end of March and we have completed a wonderful monthly challenge of using the colors green, purple, black and any neutrals. Take a look at this collage of all the cards together! Amazing how many different styles and looks we came up with using those 3 core colors. I love the variation in shades and composition.

This has been an amazing first challenge for all of us involved. At times it was difficult to come up with a card using the same colors, but in the end it worked out. I imagine our customers do the same thing when they are limited on what they can purchase. It is great to see all the possibilities.

Thank you to my wonderful design team who have made this journey into "Ozland" possible. I look forward to their creations each week. Speaking of "witch", it is time for week 4 of WWW. Take a look at what they have created for your inspiration this week.

I hope you have all enjoyed this challenge as much as we have. Be sure to check back next week and see what April's challenge will be! I expect it will have even more fun items for your inspiration.

diva sketch challenge

Wow, is it winter or spring? Hard to tell here in Michigan. How about where you are? I think this week's sketch is the last of the really crazy ones that I've provided for the team. Thank goodness. I'm surprised no one has lynched me yet. Next week we go back to relative normal stuff.

Have fun skipping from blog to blog. Please don't forget to share a link to your blog when you play along. :)

diva sketch challenge

Good Morning stampers! I hope you've had a good week. Today is one wacky sketch and I can't wait to see what the team has done with it. You just know that there is going to be some fun done with it . . . I'm thinking especially with Leonie. Doesn't she just give ya a giggle when she switches everything up.

I would like to take a moment to thank the sketch team. They are always ready with their posts and if life gets in the way they 'pave' the way to the next blog by posting the link. Thank you ladies. You make my job SOOO easy. I love y'all!!! xoxox

Diva Inspiration Challenge #139

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I hope the luck of the Irish is upon you. :)
Today's Diva Inspiration Challenge picture is right in tune with today's celebration with a crafty twist. Instead of shamrocks, we have varying shades of Green BUTTONS. These little guys are the perfect embellishment to any project and can get quite addicting. I hope you have lots of fun with this challenge this week!

Wonderfully Wicked Wednesday #2

I would like to start by welcoming all of you back to week 2 of this months "Wonderfully Wicked" color challenge: Purple, Green, and Black.

I received a question over the weekend that I wanted to clarify for all of you. The question was, "What if I don't have enough 'Wicked' stamp sets?" The answer is, "That doesn't matter." The theme that I present you with is simply meant to inspire you. I derived elements from "Wicked" and the "Wizard of Oz" because both of these musicals provided a great deal of inspiration to draw from for myself. This does not mean that your designs have to reflect flying monkeys, munchkins, Dorothy, Toto, Elphaba or Glinda directly, although they are welcome if you can figure out how to do it! I do hope this clarifies any questions about the uniqueness of these challenges. However, if you do have questions, please feel free to ask me.

Now, without further delay, on to this weeks design team submissions. They are great! Take a peek and let them know what you think.

Wow, totally different looks using the same colors as last week. And two different Holiday cards as well. I look forward to seeing what week three will bring! Well done Divas!
