January Color Challenge - WINNER ANNOUNCED

Happy New Year and welcome to the Paper Secrets January Color Challenge!

Now that Christmas has just passed and it's New Years (and Winter here in the US), I have shimmery metallics in my head. Gold goes so well with traditional or vintagy Christmas colors and silver goes so well with blues, whites, and Wintery papers.

My January challenge for you is to scrap a page, card or altered project using GOLD OR SILVER on it! You don't need to use both. Just Gold Or Silver on your paper based project.

Here's what our DT came up with for this challenge:

NICOLLE'S fab Christmas page with gold accents:



ROCHELLE'S gorgeous layout using gold Glimmer Glam on the background and snowflakes:



KIMMY'S beautiful and fun page with silver misting over a web mask for the background



My no-photo layout based on a Sketchy Thursdays sketch:



JOYCE created 2 projects for this challenge. Here's her gorgeous layout using Webster's Pages:



and her wonderful card:





***Your project must have something gold or silver on it to be entered into the prize drawing. Entries are due by January 31st, 11:59 PST

Be sure to add the keyword "color3" to your gallery upload.

Uploading your entry by the due date will get you one entry in a drawing to win a $10 Paper Secrets gift card.

I can't wait to see everyone's take on the challenge!

Gorgeous LO examples!

awesome layouts ladies!!!

This will be a challenge for me! Love the examples!

Here's my entry:

Kathy, I love that gold mesh look, how did you do that?

It's been so long since I scrapped a non recipe layout, I almost forgot how! I think these photos of my daughter are from last summer. Felt great, thanks for the fun challenge!

Wonderful layouts ladies!

Fantastic layouts, ladies! Thanks for playing along...you two are FAST!

Great job everyone! I am struggling with mine. I am putting it down for a bit but home to pull it together later.

Joyce, I bought the mesh from a artsy online shop . . . . . it has a glue backing so when heated it melted onto the paper but keeps it's metallic shine. I've had it in my stash for years and this challenge was a perfect reason to use it. Now I wish I could remember where I got it . . . . .

Holy buckets - just realized my "i" fell off in the word exhibit . . . now to go search for it . . . .

I was so focused on the unique mesh and with the graphic bg, it's kind of like an optical illusion...I had to go back and look to see what you meant...I was able to read the title the first time, look over your whole layout and never even noticed the dot for the "i" was there, but the stem wasn't? LOL And I thought I was a fairly observant person.

I did the exact same thing!

This challenge was so much fun, I did another today! I'll show ya tomorrow, since I'm too lazy to upload the photos today.

Suzanne, I saw this image today and thought of you and your goal for the year.

This is my first ever post here so I hope this all works right!

I chose silver as I had a photo of our newest family member that was just screaming to be scrapped. She really is a beautiful girl!

TFL!

Kim

OMG! I LOVE IT! I'm SO stealing that for my sig line!

Kim, what a gorgeous dog and layout! Perfect for this challenge, well done!

Here's another glimmery layout using I THINK Bazzill cardstock? My daughter cracks me up, I was SO embarrassed that she wore the stinkin' cowboy boots to the beach.

Thanks ladies!

It's always hard to know what looks good when you are the only crafty one around

Great second entry, Suzanne! Boots...at the BEACH? What was she thinking? LOL That's too awesome. Love the close up of her boots in the sand. Great memory to preserve! :-D

Amazing entries so far!

Great layouts ladies!

Yep. Like I said in the journaling, she will wear them ANYwhere. I just didn't think she'd wear them to the BEACH! I really don't know where she came from...
