Today is the beginning of another 2 week long challenge at 7 Kids College Fund challenge blog. This time we are hosting a color challenge. Use the colors pink, red, and white. I used ribbon Tilda for my card. If you haven’t noticed Tilda’s are really starting to grow on me. They are so much fun to color. Anyway, come on over and join in the challenge. I get to go take my 4 year old for her Kindergarten shots now. Wish me luck! She hasn’t been since she was little and didn’t understand what was taking place.

Time for another 7 Kids Challenge and I had the privileged of picking the theme. I went with “Holiday Goodness”. Make a card or project for any holiday. I whipped up a Valentines Day card. Why? I do not know. It’s not like it’s right around the corner. I do love pigs though and this little Cupig has been sitting in my stash unused for awhile now. That always bums me out.

So come play along. You can win a 20$ gift certificate to the 7 Kids College Fund store and get a card or two for the holiday completed.

I haven’t felt like paper crafting for the past couple of weeks. When I started my design team card for 7 Kids College Fund late last night (total procrastination) I wasn’t overly excited but I totally got into it and have that old flare back now. If it wasn’t so late I’d start another. Random how that works. Anyway, the challenge is to use a heart…or two, or three.
