Project Life!

Each week at Colour Me...! we will have a creative colour challenge for you to get crafty and show us your best greeting cards, 3D projects, scrapbooking, digital or traditional paper crafts, costumes, etc. Only the colours we indicate may be used for your project. Neutrals such as black, gray, white, vanilla, skin colours and kraft are also welcome.

This week we are using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Baked Brown Sugar & Wild Wasabi ...have fun!

Our challenge ends on Mondays at 12:00 pm (EST). We have a few rules to keep things fun and fair!

1. Any type of paper crafty projects are welcome - greeting cards, 3D projects, scrapbooking, digital or traditional paper crafts, costumes, if it's craft we want to see it!
2. We ask that you only use the colours listed for your project and of course neutrals are always welcome.
3. Feel free to combine us with up to 3 challenges (including ours), with the exception of other colour challenges.
4. Please add our graphic to your blog with a link back to us. 
5. We reserve the right to remove any links if we feel any material submitted is offensive or found to be in poor taste, we are all here to have a good time! 

I thought I would combine our colours this week with the challenge over at MDS Monday which was to use a Project Life inspired sketch to created a scrapbook page. 

I have to say having just recently found out about Project Life I am a HUGE FAN and what is even more exciting still is that they have partnered with Stampin' UP! to create a line together!!!
