Now where have we seen this lady before.....
So once again we are SHOCKED! Not so much with the challenge last week??! Yes...I know, purple can be scary at times...lol! We did however have two brave ladies who gave it a shot:

Ineke with this beautiful card


and Libeeti with this gorgeous layout


Thankyou to both of you and please grab out Shoe of the Week badge for your blog for braving the purple ;)

Now...for this week's challenge...lets hope this one isn't as scary!! This week we are using die-cuts! Simple right?? Use your cricuts/cuttlebugs/silhouettes/spellbinders/ or whatever you use to cut and add it to your projects! I went for the nestabilities on mine...which will you chose???

Fashionista Friday #42

Where did July go?? Is it over already??? LOL! Hope y'all stayed busy during our vacation, I know I did! We are all moved into a new house and my craft room is up and running again! Time for a brand new color challenge! But first....let me just say that I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all your entries for our extended vacation challenge....wowzers! Totally amazing! It was much too difficult to pick just one, so this time we will have a pair of Shoes of the Week! The pair of beauties are:

Sarah T with this fabulous card...I just LOVE the colored scene, and the seashells!


and Chris V with this beautiful lighthouse! love it!


Congratulations ladies! Feel free to pick up our Shoe of the Week badge for your blogs!!!

And now for today's brand new color challenge. We are going to try something different for our Color challenges, but it is just a teeny little change, and in all actuality, nothing will REALLY change....
The color challenges will now be based off of copic colors. There are so many copics out there in so many fabulous colors, we will be using copic shades as our color combos. This does NOT mean you have to use copics on your creations. We are just using their names and shades for our example. Now if you WANT to use the corresponding copics, go for it! But if not, just use the general shade shown. For example....here is this weeks color challenge:



This could just be interpreted simply as 'purple, brown, and light grey'! Make sense? So, copic or not, this is your color challenge for this week! Check out our DT interpretations:


Lesley


Jill


Tracey


With no further ado....let's see what you can do with these colors!!! Leave your direct link to your new projects below. Hope to see everyone back with us after our creations, thanks for your patience, and have a great weekend!

FF#41, Take a Vacay!

First things first...WOW...we had 42 entries for FF#40! THANK YOU ALL! Every single entry was yummy gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Now...a bit of an announcement...nothing bad I promise! Today's challenge will be the last challenge we post here for the month of July. The fabulous Shoe team is running around crazy right now...and we all are in need of a bit of a "vacation" to catch up on things at home and work and to catch up on some scrappy goodness! Tracey is currently at the CTMH Convention (I'm so jealous!) and moving into a new house...our lovely Jill is getting settled (hopefully finally) in Atlanta (we miss you doll!)...Tanisha and I are working insane hours (gotta pay the bills!)...and it is summer after all...kids are at home...some vacations are planned (and some stay-cations!)...so this challenge will be open until August 5 at 7 pm. Without further ado...the extended version of FF#41 is:

VACATION!

Here are a few samples from our DT!

Tracey (love the "rays")

Me (Lesley)

Show us your fabulous vacation LO's, vacation themed cards, vacation themed altered items...you name it...we wanna see it! The requirements of the challenge are that the theme of your creation is vacation and that it's a new piece of scrappy-liciousness (i.e. post date should not be before July 9)! Please no backlinking to older posts!  Use the linky at the end of this post to share your work with us!

Hope everyone enjoys the next few weeks...and no worries...we will be back!  We have some fabulous sponsors lined up for this year...and can't wait to get back with you all soon!  HUGS!
