OCC - Color Challenge

Welcome to Our Creative Corner. Thanks to everyone who plays along with us each week! Before we get to today's challenge we have a few little announcements. First of all we would like to announce the winner of last week's prize drawing. The winner of the $25 in Clear Dollar Stamps is... Dori S.! Congratulations Dori, please email us to claim your prize!

Sadly, we have to announce that our very talented Laurie Schmidlin will be saying good bye to the OCC as she will be spending some much needed time with her family - goodness knows that she has a gazillion things going on and that family comes first :) Laurie we are so happy to have had you be a part of the team and we wish you and your family all the best! When a "goodbye" happens, there is always a "hello" to follow, so without further adieu, we would like to extend a warm welcome and introduce to you Jocelyn Turner (Stamps'nCoffee) who is our newest team member here at the OCC! Please join us in welcoming her and pop by her gallery to take a peek at her creations!

Now onto this week's challenge! We have a Color Challenge for you this week, and the colors are: More Mustard, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy and a neutral of your choice. You can use any designer papers that you would like and if you don't have Stampin' Up! card stock then feel free to substitute for colors that are similar. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Remember there is no time limit on our challenges - feel free to participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a link to your project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC

Our special guest designer this week is Angela Thomas! Don't you just love this awesome little Changito in his adorable rain gear?
