CS7

It's hard to predict what will inspire me from day to day.  It could be something on a large scale or just a little element of the big picture.  For our CS7 challenge it's deffinately all the little elements.  I'm loving all the details as your eye travels around the inspiration photo.  It's fun, playful and full of COLOR...of course! 

Bright trendy colors of lemon, cherry, white, fuchia and teal.

Photo Inspiration by Roxy.  Get the whole story behind the photo and more creative inspiration here.

I challenge you to add those little bits of detail around your page.  Stitching, rub-ons or titles in places you wouldn't normally try. 

Post a link to your entry by Aug. 25th deadline and you could be our next guest designer with colorstory!

CS6 Gallery

WOW!  I'm so excited to share with you the Gallery for Colorstory 6 Challenge.  As I put this one together I was loving each and every page, thinking to myself "how am I ever going to choose just one?"  

Well, I'm NOT!   Let me explain...I'd like YOU to help me choose the winner from the gallery. I know that this plan could backfire if you all vote for your own...but...All you need to do is e-mail me at the link on the sidebar and tell me who's entry you think captured the essence of the challenge the best!  

edited to add:  "If you made it so that people chose First Second and Third and awarded points (3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd) then the tally would be a little bit more defining."  Diane

Thanks for the idea Diane!  Pick your first, second and third choice.   I'll tally up the votes and award the winning entry a kit from Addicted Scrappers! Deadline to place your e-mail vote is Wed, Aug 6th. 

Enjoy the gallery!

A little R&R

I'm loving all the entries for CS6.  Beautiful!  Just letting you know that I have had limited access to the internet as we are taking a few days off to "retreat" and enjoy summer a bit.  When I get back I'll post the gallery and a few other goodies.  See you on the 1st!

addicted to our challenges?

We can see that many of you are!  Thank you to all of our loyal fans that have subscribed to our e-news feature this past month.  There are exciting things in store. 

So it only seems fitting that the sponsor for this months challenge is Addicted Scrappers! 

A scrapbook kit site with not just one but TWO kit choices each month.  And they've added a third option...a monthly kit just for Cards!  Let's take a peek at the July kits...

 

Link a photo of your CS6 entry in our comments section by the July 25th deadline.  Our winning CS6 favourite layout will recieve one of these kits packed with Summer Fun!  And a chance to show off your design creativity with our DT in an upcoming colorstory challenge.  You're sure to become an Addicted Scrapper now! 

CS5 Winner

We've announced the winning LO for our CS5 challenge below the gallery.  The entries were FABULOUS and full of detail.  Thanks to eveyone who entered for inspiring us with your pages!

CS6

Here in California...school's officially out...and SUMMER is IN!  So when I saw this inspiration photo I immediately knew that it screamed summer.  It's clean modern lines spoke to my design side and the bright colors "popped" against the crisp white...which is quickly becomming my favorite color for backgrounds.  So even if it's not summer where you are...I know that you must have a stash of summery (or vacation) photos waiting to be perfectly scrapped. 

Try these design ideas: keep your background WHITE.  Play with the white on white texture. (see the woodwork + white moulding)   Add only "pops" of color.  HAVE FUN!

6x12 size.  The sketch you gave us inspired me to go vertical!  LOL!
Not a beachy theme but I loved the October Afternoon papers and they went so well with the colorstory swatch!
