Let's Get Sketchy Winner!

Good Morning Peeps, I hope you all are enjoying playing with our Neutrals with a POP Color Challenge this week. I am just popping in here quickly to announce the winner of our Let's Get Sketchy Challenge.  We have decided to award the Top Talent for that challenge to Carla Suto from Carla's Stamping Studio for this beautiful entry:

Congratulations Carla! We all just feel in love with this vintage/shabby chic creation. The attention to detail is fabulous. We loved the stitching and the colors are beautiful. We also loved the bow, doily and pretty pearls. Please feel free to grab the Top Talent badge from our sidebar and display it on your blog. We'll be in touch with you shortly to arrange a guest designer spot with us for an upcoming challenge.

Neutrals with a POP Color Challenge

Hello Peeps, I'm so glad you're joining us again this week at Our Creative Corner! Thank you to everyone who played along with the sketch challenge last week, your creations are amazing! We will be announcing the winner on Wednesday, in the mean time we have a new challenge for you, A Color Challenge. I call it a "Neutral Challenge with a POP"! But just not any neutrals and not just any Pop of color.

This color challenge is to use Basic Gray, Basic Black and the POP is Real Red, of course you can add in white or vanilla.

Let's check out what the design team and guest designer has created with these colors:

Fun With Fruit Winner!

Are you all busy creating for our current challenge?  Click here to check it out.  Meanwhile, I have picked the winner for last weeks Fun With Fruit challenge!  I have to say, there were some real cute ones out there, but I have to declare Malissa the winner!

This card has great balance and is simple with perfect details.  I loved the ruler ribbon and the subtle embossed texture of the kraft paper.  But the kicker is the way she tilted the main image.  It's nothing big, but it made a big impact.  Great job Malissa!

Red and Aqua Challenge Winner

Linda here with an apology to all for missing choosing a winner for the Red and Aqua challenge a few weeks back. With all the excitement of the new design team members coming on board along with saying good bye to Sarah, I completely overlooked choosing a winner.  That was such a fun challenge and we had great participation that week and lots of great eye candy to choose from.  We have decided to award the Top Talent for that challenge to Sylvia from Little Treasures By Sylvia for this beautiful entry:

Congratulations Sylvia!  The team really loved the way you used the fuzzy aqua fibers and that wonderful crocheted doily against the bright red paper one!  Please feel free to grab the Top Talent badge from our sidebar and display it on your blog.  We'll be in touch with you shortly to arrange a guest designer spot with us for an upcoming challenge.

Don't forget, you all still have another day to enter our Fun with Fruit challenge.  And we hope you will stop by on Saturday morning as we kick off another weekly challenge here at Our Creative Corner.

Oh No Flowers Winner

Hi Ladies!
Have you been enjoying the last few weeks of summer?  I have been, which is why this post is a few hours late...SORRY!....  I know last weeks challenge was a tough one - using flower images as inspiration without using flowers....I'm kinda sneeky that way....  You all showed us some AMAZING creations, but I'm going to have send my Top Talent Award this week to Shannon Finch of The Giving Finch!  I love that she used the 'idea' of flowers in a vase with those adorable pinwheels, super cute!  Don't forget to get to have Fun with Fruit and get those fruit creations done for this weeks challenge.  Love seeing you in our 'corner' of the blogosphere!

Fun With Fruit

Hello again ladies, I'm so glad you're joining us again this week at Our Creative Corner!  This week, I thought I'd take it easy on you....no tricks up my sleeve....  I have another inspiration photo from my trip to the Green Market in Copenhagen.  

Imagine if you will - a Walmart sized building FILLED with fresh produce, ONLY fresh produce.  Boxes of cherries, nectarines, peaches, elder berries, mini watermelons, strawberries, fruit I had never seen before, the colors, the smells....amazing!  I took a few photos of the gorgeous fruit boxes, each little piece of juiciness just waiting to be baked into a danish....hee, hee....  So that's your inspiration for this weeks challenge - incorporate fruit into your creation!  Any kind, any color, have fun with it!

Oh, the Flowers!

Hi crafters, it's Kristin here, I'm so glad you are here for this week's Our Creative Corner challenge! We have a great challenge for you and it's the first week for our new Design Team members to join us.

First, the challenge. You may have noticed....from the last 2 challenges I hosted.... I recently took a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. I had the most amazing opportunity to visit the city's Green Flower Market....holy gorgeous flowers....not to mention the whole city was in bloom. As a former special events planner and wedding florist, I was inspired! So I thought I'd bring a little more of Copenhagen to share with you all these next 2 weeks. Now the challenge, using these photos of flowers I took as inspiration, create a project WITHOUT using any flowers!...I know, I'm mean....

Here are the creations from the design team including our new members! Make them feel welcome and send some love to Holly, Tui, Marjie and Anne Marie!
