CC309 - NOT QUITE CAJUN DAFFODILS - 2/8/11
NOT QUITE CAJUN DAFFODILS??? SERIOUSLY????
HOLY SHNIKES, MAN OH DAY, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, Seriously??? DID I ACTUALLY SAY I WAS CAPABLE OF BEING A CHALLENGE HOSTESS???....THE CHALLENGE FOR ME IS NOT IN THE CARD, BUT IN THE HOSTESSING. IF YOU ARE READING THIS CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW, AND IT ACTUALLY WENT UP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO THERE, YOU NEED TO ALL SEND ME A BIG FAT CONGRATULATIONS CARD, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. THIS IS A LOT LIKE PERFORMING BRAIN SURGERY FOR ME.....THERE IS A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING,,,,I FEEL LIKE INSTEAD OF LAUNCHING A COLOR CHALLENGE I AM LAUNCHING A SPACESHIP.......I AM SUCH A LAME-O BLOOMIN' IDIOT ON THE COMPUTER...and didn't i read somewhere that we aren't supposed to use capital letters on SCS, but hey, I had to express myself back there.....but look guys, I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT....ALL BY MYSELF, THIS IS ME, HOSTING THE CHALLENGE all by MYSELF!!!.....(okay, along with a little help from my buddy Vicki Dutcher who finds my lame ways amusing......good thing for me......)anyway....the colors this week are:
NOT QUITE NAVY
CAJUN CRAZE
DAFFODIL DELIGHT
And the dessert? Well what else??? Wide striped gros grain ribbon of course!! If you have no wide striped gros grain ribbon, well, first I give you my sympathy.....but then, I tell you you can substitute any gros grain ribbon, fat, skinny, polka dots, whatever!! Just have dessert!! Remember, life is short, so eat dessert first! ;)
WEIRD COMBO, RIGHT??? Well I made my card and THEN chose the colors....and THEN I thought TO MYSELF, now THOSE are some CHALLENGING COLORS!! I was going to do my usual flower thing and do like Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz and actually it was Jenna who took a look at this card and said, "Oh come on, use THIS card and make it a challenge!!" So here you are with some WEIRD colors, be challenged my friends, as I have been this week!!!! Happy Stamping everyone! (STAMPING, now that's the EASY part!!):lol:
Here are my fellow partners in stamping (and I)to show you our wares:
Karen B Barber (Karen)
artystamper (Julia)
pegmac71 (Peggy)
Betty Wright
CC309 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 CC309 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! (and if anything actually happens when you "click here", give me another big fat pat on the back....cuz I have no idea if that link will actually WORK after I post it!) NEXT time it's my turn this is gonna be a piece of cake,,,,oh yah.......

Way to go Karen. I feel your pain with posting a challenge. Been there -done that and it is stressful, for sure. You done good girl. I'll try your challenge tomorrow. For now - nightie night - I'm crawling into my warm, cozy bed and watching some TV before drifting off and getting a good night's sleep.
Congrats hostess girl!

Man, Karen, you're tough!!!! I had a very hard time with this color combo and almost did not do it, but since you were the hostess, I decided to give it a try. Thanks for hosting.

Have a great day and remember to leave comments for others (and me too!)

Great job with the challenge colors and the posting of the challenge Karen!!! It's tough getting that first challenge up when you're trying to figure out how to get it all done and have a deadline of 'do it NOW!' LOL!!! I hope I remember how when I'm hosting again!

Congratulations on your first CC hosting job, Karen! A job well done, for sure. These colors were a REAL challenge, though. I had to keep it really simple, but I think I got the job done, too. (I DID it, I DID it, I really, REALLY did it!!)
A Good Day

LOL, I could identify with those techinical challenges myself. I had similar problems and struggles once trying to take part in a VSN. You did a great job, and although I don't have all these colors, I may see what I have that is similar. Your card is gorgeous.

Congratulations on, in fact, doing well on both your card, Karen, and the posting. You can shout it to the rooftops all you want, you clever person! I think the ban on caps is just for angry words--caps are great for joy. SO GO AHEAD!!!

A big Congratulations to you for doing a great job. And be thankful for Vicki!! Most of the people in MY life - except for my sis, lacyquilter - are very impatient with MY lame computer ways. And someday I will be famous because Melody will have helped me. I think your colors are really funky and your card is awesome. And someday maybe even I will get brave and do a color challenge.
