Thank you all who participated in our last challenge Terrific Tag! We really enjoyed looking at all of your gorgeous creations! Now on to our next Challenge!

Our hostess for week 4 is Heather Jensen

Hello everyone. I am Heather and I will be your hostess this week.  Your challenge is to make a card using the colors in the inspiration photo.  Pink is my favorite color.  Everything is beautiful in pink.  Guess what my favorite movie is also?  Pretty in Pink!  Seriously.  Notice the hint of green?  Would love to see that too.  Not required but it is a perfect accent color.

CCCB week # 4 - Colors Challenge

I am honored to bring you all a wonderful inspirational photograph from A Creative Mint.  Leslie was so kind to let us use her lovely picture for this weeks challenge.  You must stop by and take a  look at her blog.  You will be blown away.  I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations.  What are you waiting for?  Hurry...craft away.

Guest Designer

Melissa Sauls
In Stamping Mode

I am honored to have Melissa as our guest designer.  She has a lovely shabby style with alot of feminine touches.  I have followed her blog for quite some time now.  She seems to be able to make anything look good on a card.  And she is the sweetest person too.  It doesn't get much better than that.  Thanks Melissa!
