Challenge Gallery and New Challenge!

Another week has come and gone. How is it October already? You know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun!

I was overwhelmed (in a good way!) with responses to last week’s flower challenge. You ladies are awesome, keep up the work because this is just too much fun.

Here are my top picks from the flower challenge:

It’s All About the Candy by Erin Manning – Flowers on a Halloween card? Undeniably cute.

Etc. by Amy Heller – Flowers hand cut from patterned paper is very resourceful!

Sweet by Samantha Sibbet – These are handmade ribbon flowers, embellished with buttons and brads. Wouldn’t they be cute on a headband, purse, or necklace?

This week’s challenge is based on this card by Laura Craigie, featured in the October 2009 issue of CARDS:

Happy Birthday by Laura CraigieThat banner particularly caught my eye. Isn’t it adorable? So will you make a card with a banner? I can’t wait see what you come up with! See you same place, same time, next week!

Paige Evans

What color scheme is your favorite or inspires you most?
All I have to do is look on J.Crew and their hip and trendy clothing colors inspire me the most.

What is the last book you read?
I just finished reading the entire Harry Potter series. Soooo good.

You are suddenly transported into a different period in history.  Where would you choose to go?
15th century Florence because that was the height of the Renaissance - think Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, etc.

Do you have a blog?
Of course! It's chrisandpaige.blogspot.com. Thanks for stopping by!
