Default CC245: Always Real Chocolate!

Hello everyone! It is me again with a color challenge for you! I am posting a little early. I am a working girl now and I must get some sleep! It is starting to look a lot like Christmas!!! Several people were out in my neighborhood this past weekend putting outside lights up. I have also heard people mentioning Christmas music playing already in some department stores. Today's colors may lend themselves to a Christmas hue, but depending on how you use the colors, the theme could be for something else altogether.


It is all about Always Real Chocolate!

Always Artichoke

Real Red

Chocolate Chip

Neutrals of choice


My sample

Peace and Joy

CC245 Gallery


Please keep in mind, too, that while we list SU colors for the challenges these are just color reference points. Use the closest colors you have. We want everyone to be able to play!!!

Please put CC245 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!

I will be hosting the color challenges for the next few weeks. If there is a color combo you want to see using any of the new in colors, please pm me with the link to the card. Thanks so much!
