Hi there! It's time again for a new
CR84FN Color Challenge! It's so fun to watch the challenge grow and I am SURE it is because of all the beautiful and inspiring projects that the Design Team creates and thanks for all the sweet comments and encouragement to all of you who cheer me on week after week :)
You may already know that my hubby Scott is responsible for tech support not only for my personal blog but for the
CR84FN Color Challenge site as well. I have to give credit to Scott for finding and adding a sweet Verse/Caption/Poem week after week to the gorgeous graphics he builds for us as inspiration to spark all of our creative spirit ;)
I made this Valentine's Day card using featuring TWO of the many NEW Spellbinder's die templates that will be released at CHA at the end of the month. I created a multi-layered rose embellishment using
S5-050 Rose Creations and displayed it on a paper doily made using a
S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs die template. If you ask me, one can never have enough doilies or flowers in their stash!
To create the lil' tag, I inked up the sentiment from
Waltzingmouse Season's of Love - Tags and using a
S4-229 Labels Five die template to cut/emboss the image. Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting my CR84FN design team mate
Suzanne IRL! Suzanne came to town for business and we met in the evening for dinner and I took her to my LSS to shop :) The gorgeous heart charm on this card I have Suzanne to thank for (thanks again Suzanne!) along with some other fun crafty goodies and this gorgeous card shown below:

Lucky you - playing with the new Spellbinders dies!! They are fabulous - BTW!! I love the flower you've made and the pretty little doily too. The heart button is another fab details. Just stunning!!!
I think Scott is brilliant - not only is he good at the tech stuff, but the verses he finds are always just right. Lovely card from Suzz.
Both of these cards are just fabulous ... and what a clever hubby you have ... Thanks so much for my terrific top three award ... I am thrilled! Have a wonderful day
Gorgeous card as usual! Love the new dies. The die peeking out is a great design (need to case that). I had a wonderful time meeting you! Next time you are in Chicago you will have to come craft with me and Lisa! LOVE the inspirational quotes on the CR84FN graphics! I like to see what Scott picks to go along with the pictures and colors!
Your card and Suzannes are both gorgeous! How fortunate you are to have met another crafting/blogging friend. Scott has done a fab job for you, I was thinking earlier as I saw your color graphic on everyone's post, it is unmistakeably at a glance yours. He has produced a real brand logo for your challenge blog. ~Diane
Mona ~ I swear you are SO stinkin creative!!! Both cards are just stunning...I had to take my time looking at each one carefully to catch all of your gorgeous work! Again, just stunning!!!
So, so Pretty! Love the challenge for this week. Your card is gorgeous and the little silver charm is a great addition.
Mona, another week, another set of great colors and another jaw dropping gorgeous card! Love the beautiful flower, the tag and the label! Also, that metal charm from Suzanne! Her card is magnificent too! She's so lucky to have met you and hit the LSS with you! Wow!
Your cards, with all of their patterns and textures, have an ease to them as all the elements come together to perfection. Love what you've done with this week's CR84FN colors.
I wrongly assumed that the enchanting quotes were your doing each week. Please let Scott know that I enjoy the quotes as much as the photographs.
Another amazing card,Mona! I really love your color picks for this week! I will try to play!! Your sample is so inspiring! I love the PP you used with those beautiful new dies! Also, your DH has done a great job with your graphics and logos; I always love seeing what he chooses for the quotes! They are always perfect!
Fabulous card, Mona! Just the perfect mix for this week's colors! Love it!
Oh, Mona, you'll have to tell that romantic hubby of yours thanks for not only his tech support/creations, but for his poetic inspiration as well!!! ;-) One of these days when my life settles down a bit, I'm going to surprise you and play along in your challenge! LOVE your sweet card and all it's gorgeous details -- especially the floral doily, rose & that sweet little heart charm tucked under your tag -- sweet perfection!!!
Gorgeous card, Mona! Love the multi-layered rose and lacey doily -- love these new dies! Sue's card is so lovely, too!
