So how did you all like this "Warm It Up" Pre-Challenge? Was it right up your alley or was it a complete and utterly Challenge for you all to use warm colors? I'm more of a bright colored girl myself so it was a bit of a Challenge for me.

Yup! I played along with you all this round. No excuses....I'm not on Vacation in Hawaii anymore. LOL

I was surprised at how many turned in Submissions this time around. There were a bunch of you and you've ALL got talent! That made it SO much harder on choosing a Winner this round. But, it's all in fun anyway right? I'll announce who the Winner is in a bit but first check out all this Eye Candy!

"Warm It Up" PRE-Challenge

This photo doesn't have anything to do with this Pre-Challenge....Well....it does happen to have warm colors in it....but I just wanted to share it with you all because I thought it was funny. Check out all those funny tourists! LOL
"Warm It Up" Pre-Challenge
Due: August 12, 2009

With this Pre-Challenge comes a 9th Blog Candy Giveaway for the month of August. What a way to celebrate BIG before our Official Launch in September ha?

Well, I have many reasons to celebrate and I love giving things away. If I could, I would seriously give you all Blog Candy...just for being Sweethearts!

Now....I'm hosting this PRE-Challenge with the Launch of C.S.D. in mind. It's only a month away and SERIOUSLY....you have NO IDEA what you're in for! The Lollipop Girls of C.S.D. and I plan to take Paper Crafting Challenges to a Whole NEW Level and you are going to be EX-CI-TED!!!! Even more than you are now. I tell ya!

So, with that said....I thought you would need a little warm up before the BIG Debut.

For this Pre-Challenge "Warm It Up" you may create any Paper Creation that your heart desires. However, you are to use ONLY warm colors on your creations alright?

IF you choose to create a Scrapbooking Layout you must use the sketch provided as inspiration. MAKE IT YOURS! Much thanks to Anam from Twisted Sketches for providing this sketch for us to use!
Instead of using White, try Beige. Instead of Pink, try Red. Instead of Black, try Brown. No Bright colors, no Pastel colors....just Warm....to go with the spirit of this Pre-Challenge.

You must also:
- include your Special Ingredients and a Short Description/Journaling about what you made.

We have done away with the Mister Linky Widget because we were having too many problems with it. So, simply include a link to your Paper Creation for this challenge when posting your comments.

I'm looking forward to seeing your "Warm It Up" Creations! Make me happy girls!


With Love,


Lynnette Davis
