A double shot for Colour Me...!

It's one of those fun weeks at Colour Me...! where you get to choose what colour combination you'd like to work with, and play along with either 'Team Hayley' or 'Team Tara'.

I finally got a new printer that seems to like me. So far, we're off to a very, very good start. I think I see a 5th date on the horizon. What this means, is now I can print off all the digital stamps I want and just do nothing but colour all the time (without the horrid Copic-killing streaks I was getting with my old setup).

Hello beautiful world!

So here we have Bathing Beauty in all her beach-ey goodness. Oh, I can't wait for summer :)

I didn't have the right Copics for this colour challenge at all, so it took a bit of fussing to combine colours to get the right shades I needed. If you're curious about the weird combinations in the supply list below, that's why!

Check out the challenge this week:

And because I clearly have some difficulties following instructions, here is the original card I made for this challenge... haha. Oops, wrong team!! Thought I'd share regardless, as the combos are so different, but both so fun!

Please stop by the blog and check out the wonderful projects from the Design Team, and share your project with us!

Easter Critters for The Friday Mashup!

Hello everyone, and a very Good Friday to you!

This week at The Friday Mashup we are celebrating Easter with some great spring colours and some happy little Easter critters.

I started with the absolutely adorable set from My Favorite Things, called "Somebunny". It is the perfect set for that punny little bunny card that your heart just needs to make!

I created the rolling easter hills using patterned paper from Stampin' Up! in So Saffron, Calypso Coral and Pool Party. I cut them out the "Landscape Trio" dies from Mama Elephant. 

And last but not least, I needed that perfect Easter sentiment. That's from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Easter". 

Check out the challenge this week and be sure to take a peek at all the designer creations as well!

1. Create a project using "So Saffron, Calypso Coral & Pool Party"
2. Create a project using "Easter Critters"
3. or Mash it Up! and create a project with "Easter critters and the colours above"

Thanks for stopping by today!
