THS Color Challenge #1 Results

The Two Happy Stampers Color Challenge #1 is over and we have some sharing to do! Thanks to everyone who played along in our color challenge last month! We didn't have a whole lot of participation, but for it being the first challenge, it was a fun experience and we hope to do it again! =)

Here's the creations that were inspired by the THS Color Challenge #1!

Anthonette Chavez - fellow card and stamping blogger... great style and card making/stamping abilities. Anthonette is such a nice blogger friend to play along with us! Thanks, Anthonette! =)

Linda - a fellow member of the Etsy Greetings Team that we are also part of. Thanks for joining us, Linda! =)

Nan Tonelli - Nan stamps with us (or one of us) usually once a month at one of our local classes. Nan, your card turned out great! Thanks for joining us! =)

Thanks again to everyone who participated! We'll have a new challenge up for the month of March soon, so be on the look out! =)

Color Challenge Deadline Extended

From Adriel:

That's right! We're extending the deadline of our Color Challenge to February 28th @ midnight. If you planned on participating in this month's THS Color Challenge #1, you've still got time but it's time to step on it! We've got a few participants so far, but we would love some more participation! Get all the details about the challenge HERE! =)

My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last Friday, Feb. 19th. My husband took the day off and we had a lunch date! We never do that! We had a nice lunch together, just the two of us, and then we headed up to Payson with the kids where we spent the weekend. We went and played in the snow and just enjoyed hanging together. =)

Here's the anniversary card I made using our color challenge. It's a super simple card! I used the Very Vintage jumbo wheel with Tempting Turquoise ink along with the heart from the Hearts & Brackets die. The dots from the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder add instant texture and interest to this card without a lot of effort. Stamped a cute little sentiment, used the photo corner punch to get the banner effect on the end and added the rhinestone brad for a bit of bling and that's it. =)

Thanks for stopping by! I can't believe February is almost over... crazy!

Happy V-Day and a card for the THS Color Challenge #1!

From Adriel:

Just a quick post today to share the Valentine card I made for my husband with you!

I used the THS Color Challenge #1 (there's still time to play along!) for the colors and had a fun time making a simple card for my "love of a lifetime". I really appreciate my husband and am thankful for him! Today was a good day to thank the Lord for Gary and for giving me such a wonderful husband. =)

Hope you are all having an enjoyable day! We spent a good part of the day just "hanging out" together and with the kids. It was a refreshing day! =)

THS Color Challenge #1

Welcome to Two Happy Stampers Color Challenge #1!!

I thought it would be fun to host a color challenge for all of our creative friends! I know I like other challenges I've participated in and there's always room for more, right? This challenge is open to all of our artsy, crafty friends! Whether you make cards, scrapbook, knit, paint or anything in between, we'd love for you to join in along with us!

The color challenge this month was inspired by thinking of unconventional Valentine colors. Don't get me wrong... pink, red, white are fun to use together once a year to my heart's content, but I wanted to try some different colors out for Valentine's Day.

Our color challenge this month is: Tempting Turquoise, Barely Banana, Ruby Red and Kraft. (These are Stampin' Up! color names... use what you have!) Feel free to add some white or vanilla if desired! Make something creative using our color challenge and submit the url link to your creation in the comments. (I'm trying to figure out how to put a link gadget on here... maybe later.) You could make something related to Valentine's Day, but you don't have to. =) We'll choose 5 of the submissions and feature them on our blog!

Sound fun?! Join us!

Guidelines to participate:
- Use the colors in the challenge as a springboard for your creativity!
- Challenge ends Friday, February 28th @ midnight, Arizona time.
- Please keep submissions family friendly!

We're looking forward to seeing what you have to share with us! Let your friends know about the challenge, too! Have fun!! :)
