It’s Challenge Day at the Create with Connie & Julie – Occasions Edition class.  Our challenge this week is a color challenge – Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip.  This week in class we are featuring the following products from the new Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog: With All My Heart stamp set, Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the Sending Love Epoxy brads.   If you aren’t part of the class yet you can still join – all the projects and tutorials that have already been featured are still available and there are 7 more weeks of new projects and everything will continue to be available to all members for a long time.  Class members are encouraged to participate in the challenges so you can win prizes each week!  So get busy with this color challenge and then go to the class site and link your entry to the challenge post.  Good Luck – I hope you win!

Last weeks winners were Lisa Martz and Jessica Taylor.  Congratulations ladies!

Here is my entry for this weeks color challenge:

This is a 12″ x 12″ scrapbook page and I used the Sending Love Specialty Designer Series paper  and the Epoxy brads to create elements on this page. I saw this idea at least a year ago where they showcased both sides of double-sided paper by folding over the ends.  Some people hate not being able to see both sides of the paper so here is one solution to that.  I cut strips of different widths.  One end was scalloped with the Scallop Edge punch and then folded over and secured with one of the Chocolate Chip 1/4″ Epoxy brads.

I added doodling with the Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write marker.  The title was cut with the Big Shot and the GoGo Boots Alphabet dies – I used a mixture of upper and lowercase letters in the title.  And then added one little button from the Playground Designer Buttons.  The photo is my niece – I took a bunch of pictures of her playing with this hat and this was one of the cutest ones – most of the time she had it completely covering her face and I was trying to play peek-a-boo with her – so this was right after she lifted the hat – cute!
