CC108: 2 YEARS!

[emilymomto3boys]

So we celebrated the 100th color challenge......but I forgot the 2 year anniversary of the color challenge! So we're gonna celebrate this week with something special. I have chosen two of my favorite color combos from the past two years. So you can do one or both! And to make this super fun.....there are two super special SCS'ers who have birthdays next week. I challenge you to send your card (or another one - just send one!!) to each of these people. I don't know about you, but they are two of the most important people around here. I know there are lots of great people that help run this site. But where would we be without Big D?!?! Daven is THE MAN! His birthday is April 9th and he needs to be flooded with cards to show him how much this site (and him!) means to us! So please show Daven your appreciation and get him a card!

His cards should be mailed here:
Daven Nolta
1901 NE 162nd Ave.
Suite D-105 #548
Vancouver, WA 98684

The other important birthday is Beate! Now Beate puts together most of the tutorials on this site and if she isn't the one writing it, she's out there asking people to write them. She is one of the most inventive stampers I have ever had the pleasure to meet. And she is SUPER nice too! So let's show Beate how much we appreciate that she shares her creative genius with all of us!! Her birthday is also April 9th! So send her a card too!! (I have pm'd her to ask her permission to share her address and will update this once I have the answer. Yeah! She said yes!)

Mail Beate's cards here:
Beate Johns
4519 Parkwood Lane East
Niceville, FL 32578


The two challenge we are repeating are #16 and #65.

CC108:
#16 repeat -
real red

kraft

basic black

OR

#65 repeat -

always artichoke

My samples:

Daven

(I am a dork and I forgot to renew my fan club - oops!! I just did it though so the samples weren't approved when I posted this.)

Please put CC108 in your keywords section (and if you have more than one challenge use a comma to separate them) so we can find your card! If you need help uploading click here!

As always, I am open to suggestions for future color challenges! Please pm me if you have one. Including a sample is always appreciated! I will probably not respond, as I get several, but I save them for future reference!

Both combos look so great! I am definitely in!!

[Vicky Gould]

Thanks for sharing the birthday info, Emily - both Daven and Beate are such a vital part of this site - where would we be without them! Happy Birthday to both - now on to the card flood!!!

[bensarmom]

Great challenge Emily. Can do the cards for Beate and Daven. Gotta have coffee first this morning before I get started! Happy B-Day you two!

[raduse]

Great challenge Emily. Will get the cards done tonight after work.

[abmurray]

I'm in the same boat...no Kraft. I figured we could sub either Creamy Caramel or possibly Sahara Sand...that's my plan, anyway. :cool:

[DawnL]

what fun! great combos....with a purpose!! thanks Emily!!

[Vicky Gould]

Fun colors, Emily!!!

Here's Daven's card - Daven is driving the pickup truck loaded with new computers - we all know how hard he works keeping the site going. The balloon says Split Coast Stampers and is tied to the truck with dental floss. My photo isn't that great, but the CE isn't dry yet - will scan later.

[stagccva]

Cool - two combos! Thanks Emily!

[kellyjg]

Great challenge, Emily! That is, the colors as well as the b-day wishes... most appropriate! Beate and Daven, you really do ROCK!

[mparw42]

[allee's]

Well, I'm half way through!!

Happy Birthday, Daven!!

[Loree2000]

[Babsnelson]

Great colors Emily. I love the Red/Black/Kraft combo - so cool!!

[msdaiquiri]

cool color combos! Will play this evening after I get home from work and night school!

[markie's mom]

Hi! So I had plenty of time to do a second card! I think I like this one much better!

Here is my submission:Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

[star]

Thanks for the subs on the Kraft...was wanting to do that one!

Got a list a mile long today....but stamping was on it too (just not near the top....might have to rearrange some things!!)

Thanks Emily for another week of great colors!

[etsdas]

Finished mine before breakfast (PDT). I need to credit kmurray for ideas for the layout, and others who have used bleaching for the sentiment bg.
And I had to use the cuttlebug and snap stamps - ideas I would probably not have known about without SCS - thanks to Daven.

Daven's

Beate's

[Tammy Jo]

Okay, here's the first half of the challenge. These colors (red/black/kraft) were hard for me to work with. But here's One For Daven...

Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday, Daven! We appreciate all the hard work you do for us!

[Stamps'nCoffee]

Well the good news is...I love these colors!!! can't wait to get started!

And the other good news is... it's snowing (for the 3rd day in a row) so we aren't going ANYwhere!! Lots o' time to stamp!! Thanks for the challenges Emily! Now if Canada post will get their cards to them on time...hmmm

[LodiChick]

Here's mine for the Big D!!

Chicken Birthday

[Mary56]

Ooo Em, love both your cards! I'm going to try this.... in my spare time of course.

[Twinshappy]

This is such a nice idea. I will work on mine later.

[Mary56]

Forgot to add, just put in an order for Kraft so I'll be waiting....

[~CA~]

My computer has been acting wacko since yesterday but I will give this a shot and hope to be able to upload what I make! Have a great day and thanks for the cool double challenge!

[crooked river]

The birthday challenges are a great idea! Here's the first one:

Make a Wish!

[hskelly]

Not having many SU inkpads, what is Kraft - is that a color ? I thought it was a kind of inkpad (pigment vs dye). Help!
