**FAVORITE COLOR COMBO** New Challenge with Simply Create Too!

Happy Friday, all.  If this looks like a bit of a redo, it's because it is.  We decided not to start our challenge on the 1st and instead started it today!  So it's a new challenge at Simply Create Too and our theme this month is Favorite Color Combo!!!  Now mine admittedly changes like, weekly, but I've been verrrrry into Twilight-themed cards lately, so right now my favorite theme is red, black, purple and silver!  I got some new crafty goodies for Christmas so I broke them out and made this card!




Just a few challenges to kick off the year:

**ANYTHING GOES** New Challenge with Love To Scrap Challenge Blog!

Happy January!  It's the first so it's time for a new challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and our theme this month is Anything Goes!!  It's been so cold and so snowy lately and I was drinking hot cocoa and this card just sort of came together in a whirlwind and I love it!  I'm such a fan of A6 cards, I feel like they give you so much more space to create than an A2 but not as much as an A7 which I sometimes find a little daunting.

**BLEACHING** New Challenge with Mix It Up Challenge Blog!

Happy January Everyone!  It's the first of the month, (and the year!) and that means it's time for a new challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge blog.  Our theme is month is Bleaching, which as you can see I didn't have the easiest time with.  I wanted to use my Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks, they work the best with this technique, but of course I couldn't find them.  So I used my Crafters Companion Harmony inks and this is what I came up with.
