Challenge #52

We've just a snow storm pass through today that dropped nearly 6 inches of snow.  Normally, I would be bundled in with some comfy clothes in my scrapbook room during this time, but the family was busy today with other activities.  I'm hoping to get some pages done this week while the kiddos are still in school.  We all know how busy it gets at Christmas, so I won't have much time once Christmas break begins.

Everyone at CMS hopes you can find time for this next challenge.

 
Twist:
Scrap about a recipe, cooking, dinner out, baking, anything as long as it highlights FOOD.


I don't know about you, but we seem to over eat during the Christmas Season, so we thought it would be appropriate to have FOOD as the twist this challenge.

Good luck everyone and have fun!

Check out the projects the Design Team has for you.  Inspiration to get you going!

Challenge #51

I'd like to welcome all of our new followers.  It seems like we've had a lot of new followers recently and I want to thank you for joining our group.  Hopefully our fabulous DT can inspire you in some way so that we can see your creations.

Twice a month, we provide a new color challenge for all to participate in.  Our DT inspires you and in return, you inspire us.  On the first of the month, we provide a color challenge and a sketch. On the 15th of the month, we provide a color challenge and a twist (which really could be anything).

Take a look at this month's color challenge and sketch.





Check out the fabulous work of the CMS Design Team.

Challenge #50

OMG! OMG!  I want to apologize for this late post.  I completely forgot to put it together.

My week has been so hectic.  I am coaching my oldest son's team for Lego Robotics.  We have a competition this weekend and we've had practice every night this week.  Oh, have I mentioned that practice is at MY house.  I have 10 10-11 year olds running around each and every night!  It's enough to put one over the edge.

Time to get back on track!

First, let me thank you all for your faithful following.  It is hard to believe that this is challenge #50.

WHAT!?!
 
50!!  Thank you for all the participation each challenge.  Let's keep it up and make it to 100!
 
Take a look at this new challenge!
 
 
The twist is to use:
Texture
(burlap, sand, paint etc.)
 
Our guest designer, Tricia Simmons, did a fabulous job with this challenge.
Thank you for being a part of Color Me Scrappy!

Challenge # 49

So, its Halloween as I write this and Michigan is having a crummy weather day.   I feel terrible for all of the kiddos who will have to trick-or-treat in rainy, windy weather!  The good news is that its not terribly cold, so at least they won't be wet AND cold!  A few years ago we moved out to the sticks and we don't get any kids out here ... we're on a dirt road and there are very few houses within easy walking distance.  This is the one day of the year that I miss living in the city ... now I have no excuse to buy the gigantic bags of candy (a good chunk which are usually for me!).

Two days ago we revealed the new Design Team and we hope you've had a chance to stop by their blogs and check out their amazing work!   I'm sure you'll notice that we've expanded the team from 10 to 14.  There were so many talented ladies who applied we had a very difficult time narrowing it down, so logically, the only choice was to choose more women!



We have more exciting news:  We've got a NEW sponsor!
