~ A Challenging Project ~
August 17th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Hi Friends!
A couple months back, Emily sent out a call for challenge hostesses while she was taking a break. I threw my hat in the ring and today is my day!
I am really excited to be hosting the Color Challenge on SCS today. It has always been one of my favorite challenges, as color always inspires me. Today, I picked a combo that works great for both male and female cards.
The colors for today are:
Close to Cocoa
Taken with Teal
Very Vanilla
I have been wanting to make these little name plates for the boys desks for a week now. These colors worked perfectly! For Noah’s, I used a time theme. For Levi’s I used a wee bit of a western theme.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: SU’s Headline Alphabet, Starstruck (Levi’s), Artful Inkables’ Steampunk Sarah (Noah’s)
Colors: Taken With Teal, Very Vanilla
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Taken With Teal
Accessories: star punch, circle punches, dauber (for aging), scissors, jute, dimensionals
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The dimensions on this are as follows:
The base is 2 1/2″ x 10″ (scored every 2 1/2″)
Mat one ( handmade dp!) is 2 1/4″ square
Small Taken with Teal pieces are 2″ x 1″

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you can jump over on SCS and play along! Have a blessed day 🙂

This is a gorgeous project!! What a wonderful color combination!! I bet your boys love it; anybody would! even an adult (I know I would!)
Thanks for providing the basic directions!! I really like both of these (and the color rocks!!) Your boys will be proud as all get out to have these on their desks!
These name plates are great, Holly. Love the different themes and details to go with each theme. Wonderful colour combo as well!
How Cool! Great idea, Holly, I love them both and your colors are perfect!
What a fun project! I love your handmade DP and the color combo is so yummy! Nice job all around!
Love what you did here Holly!!! I know your boys will appreciate your art work! Missing you girls!!!
I just wanted you to know that your comments of support and encouragement on my challenge card for today were very appreciated and brightened my day a little more. I was serious about the color combo today, it really did perk me up. Thanks again
COOL!
What a sweet project! Young men are tough to do–but you have nailed it!
