Challenge Title: ORANGE you glad..?
Hostess: dini (Dina K)
Keyword: HYCCT1531B
Date: October 31st, 2015

And here we are on the final day of Hope You Can Cling To - you have ridden with us through an entire month of inspiring chatter, challenges, card making, mess cleaning, love, laughter and tears. We did it together - and you should feel incredibly proud of yourself. Thank you for being a light and a blessing to those who will eventually give and receive your artwork. We love you, we love this cause, and we are so thankful for your participation - it is truly a gift of heart.

I wanted to do a color board for my last challenge, because I love the way those galleries look, and the meaning of the color ORANGE really spoke to me...

Orange represents creativity, which is what we have been expressing all month. Orange offers emotional strength during difficult times. It is a color of motivation and determination, courage and optimism. It stimulates conversation and relationship.

For my challenge, use this color board for inspiration.

It's my good friend's favorite color, and I've learned why as I've made her a lot of paper craft items using orange! I really enjoy working with it now.

Love the color orange- I was inspired by the leaves and buttons images to create my card- stamped images provided by my stamping buddies- from SU- and I added the embellies- buttons-ribbon tie, washi tape, and orange gems. Here's HYCCT1531B Kindness

Isn't orange the new black? Or was that last season. Regardless, here's my card for this challenge.

Here's my card. I used the leaves for inspiration. The card base is a "botched" attempt at a double gate fold. It turned out to be a regular gatefold.
