Self-Addressed held an online crop this past weekend that I took part in and enjoyed. Their design team gave us challenges to work on and held a drawing for a prize for partaking in their challenge. Here are a few of the several projects I finished at the crop.
The challenge on these card was to use a color family offered at a site called: Color Schemer
Products: pear stamp: Artful Illusions; card stock: Bazzill; patterned paper: Collage Press; ribbon: May Arts (several inks used to color the pears)

On the challenge below we were to use naked chipboard on our layout or card. My heart has no color.
Products: card stock: Bazzil; ribbon: May Arts: chipboard: Scenic Route; patterned paper: Daisy D's; chipboard (life): We R Memories

The next challenge was to use the oldest product we own and a new product we just purchased, for me the patterned paper was just purchased and the wooden star is a few years old that I used as an embellishment for my layout. I also made a card to match to give as a gift.
Products: card stock: Bazzill; patterned paper and stickers: Creative Imagination
