one-of-a-kind card for a one-of-a-kind person! :)

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 is a special week, there are 5 weeks this month so we are doing something a little creative!!! Tara and myself have each picked a colour combo for this challenge and you get to decide which colour combo best suits your style - we are using either Strawberry Slush, So Saffron & Hello Honey or Night of Navy, Soft Sky & Garden Green... have fun!


Our challenge ends on Mondays at 12:00 pm (EST). We have a few rules to keep things fun and fair!
  • 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!
  • We ask that you only use the colours listed for your project and of course neutrals are always welcome.
  • Feel free to combine us with up to 3 challenges (including ours), with the exception of other colour challenges.
  • Please add our graphic to your blog with a link back to us. 
  • 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!
This is also Anja's last week, thank you so much for spending time with us. I think we can all agree her projects this month have been A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We sure hope you will join us in the gallery when you can Anja!!!
