OK, so it seems that the Raspberry Suite color challenge was a hit!! ;) Oh my WORD.....you girls have blown me away! There were so many amazing entries (over 150!) -- It was soooooo hard to narrow it down to just 10! Like REALLY hard! LOL! Some of them made me GIDDY, they were so fabulous! And I love that so many of you stepped out of your comfort zones, whether it was by using "5 WHOLE COLORS" (hee!) or by using "such bright colors" or whatever it was. That's the whole point of these challenges....to get us to think outside the box and to try new things which just helps us to grow in this craft of ours. I hope that with each challenge, you'll be inspired to try something new and that you'll have fun with it while you're at it! So 'Well Done' to each and every one of you that participated. You made me proud!
That being said, I've decided to make the Raspberry Suite Color Challenge a regular feature here at the blog-o! How could I not, after such a fabulous response to this first challenge?! So many of you seemed very excited about it so that makes it totally fun for me! I hope you'll bear with me though, as I figure out what works best, schedule wise. I still have stamp design work, design team work and magazine work that I'll be juggling besides just life stuff in general (including a day job!) so I'm not sure yet how often I'll do the challenges. Every single week may be tough to keep up with but we'll see how much I can do. Papertrey release weeks are often extra busy, especially the months when I have new stamp sets coming out in my Raspberry Suite stamp line, so color challenges may be tough on those weeks. I also doubt I'll post the challenges on the same day every week so be sure and check in regularly if you don't want to miss one. It will likely fluctuate each week depending on what else is going on so please hang in there with me while I figure out what's gonna work best. There's definitely some time involved in creating the graphics and picking the winners and such, but what fun it is, too! ;)

Click on each person's name to see their blog post about their cards. There are some great ones here.....you're sure to be inspired! Thanks again to those of you that played along. I'm already working on the next challenge so stay tuned! I'll post it as soon as I can.....maybe even tomorrow!
P.S. How about that Guest Blogger that popped in here yesterday?!! That man is full of surprises! LOL! And then to get me to go look at my own blog (so I'd see his post), the big sneak-o asked me how many comments we'd gotten for the blog candy so far. I was like, "I don't know....I haven't checked lately." (Cause hello....I was gone this evening and I just got home....geez. Ha!) But he asked me two or three times and finally I opened up the blog to check (so he'd stop asking me! Hahaha!) and there was his sweet post. Sigh. I TOLD ya he was a dear!! ;)
