*****************************

Speaking of this week's challenge THIS week's challenge:
FLORAL FANTASY

We use flowers to celebrate births, weddings, proms and just to say "I love you".
Show us how you can use flowers on your project (image or embellishment).

***********************************

This week the Headliners rose (pun intended) to the occasion and shared their blossoming talent with us.

Tammy used "Twin Dollies" from artist Lulu Lancaster. I love the combination of this image with the vintage text background and felt flowers. Don't miss the detail on the leaves!

Stephanie used the sentiment "Friends are Flowers in the Garden of Life" by artist Nina Brackett. I love the elegance and the ribbon flower is fabulous. Be sure to check out an inside peek of the card on Stephanie's blog.
Terri used "Blind Date" by artist Marlene Shaw. I'm humming the "Mystery Date" song from the 1960's as I'm laughing at the fabulous modern sentiment. I'm loving the shiny glasses too.

Pat used "Nerdy Girl Devil" by our own design team lead, Marlene Shaw. I was gobsmacked when I saw how she had cleverly added Halloween into this floral challenge. Love all those touches of texture.

Jill used "This Old Front Porch" by perennial Squigglefly favorite, Lynne Stansbury. Jill set the scene for a summer's day with this clean and simple card.

Holley got a little naughty with "Fake Hooter" from (again) artist Marlene Shaw. Holley framed her subject and added some fabulous flowers with faux jeweled centers. Just think of what kind of sentiment Holley added inside...

Debbie used "Bloom with Happiness" from artist Lynne Stansbery. I love how the text is overlaid across the focal image. Look at all the shapes she used too- really nice!

Peggy used "Cottage Window" drawn by our Marvelous design team member, Deena Perreault. I love the monochromatic color scheme and the clean lines.

Heather (that's me!) used "Happy Everything" by artist Nina Brackett. Shout out to my Mom- Happy Birthday! Photo credit to my 11 year old daughter (who wouldn't let me 'borrow' my digital camera).

Now, onto THIS week's challenge:
COLOR ME (Red/ Orange)

This is part 2 of our Color Bowl challenge!

We're coloring the town RED and/or ORANGE!

It's the finale of the Color Bowl challenge.

Let's see the main color of your card in this color group:
We're hot! Use any shade(s) of red and/or orange the main colors on your project.
Red/ burgundy/ orange/ tangerine/ apricot/ rust.
Think tropical sunsets, fruit, flames- anything in this color family.

***********************************

The Headliners are red hot this week! Here are their absolutely smashing creations featuring red/ orange (and all of the shades in between). Thanks Headliners!

Stephanie used the "Seasonal Trees" from artist Nina Brackett. What a fantastic fall card- great use of patterned paper too. (Below there is another card which also features this image.)

Holley used "Strange Sunflower" created by Lulu Lancaster. Look at that fabulous hair and don't you love the buttons and rick rack?

Tammy is feeling mighty festive with "Party Animals" by Janet Jones. Tammy was very clever and added a textured background and popped up the elephant's head and ear to give it depth.

Jill utilized "A Breezy Walk" drawn by Alecia Blake. I love how Jill used a hexagon shaped sentiment and repeated the dots in the dress on the background paper.

Debbie's infusion of color celebrates "Butterfly Suzie" by Diane Carubia. Great use of texture with the flowers, faux gems and popped butterflies.

Terri also used "Season Trees" by artist Nina Brackett. Notice Terri's image is flipped as the mirror image of Stephanie's above (you get both versions of the image with purchase.) Very cool (knotted?) ribbon and a great textured button.

Pat created with "This Little Piggy had Chardonnay" by artist Suzanne Urban. What a fantastic gift bag and I love the assorted metallic embellishments across the bottom.

And finally Heather (that's me) used "Phat Sexy Dude" by Marlene S. I went with simple colorblock paper to highlight his award!
