~ A Heap of Challenges ~
July 18th, 2011 by Holly McMillen
Hi Ya’ll
Summer is messing with me. Actually, I think it’s challenging me to roll with the punches. The last two summers have been mild and easy. Then we rolled in to this summer with monsoonal rains and scorching temperatures. My normal schedule is to get up in the morning and hit the studio around 9 – 10am… well it’s already in the upper 80’s by that time and my studio is baking.
I toughed it out this morning with a fan on either side of me. I wanted to cover these challenges:
There She Goes’ Monday Challenge
Here’s what I came up with:
This one covered the There She Goes’ Monday Challenge (light yellow, brown and light blue) and also the TLC (color blocking) on SCS.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes’ Bit of Stardust
Colors: GP White, MM Cosmo designer papers
Ink: Versamark, Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: yellow/white twine, star punch, corner punch, sponges, white embossing powder, dimensionals, sticky tape

Here’s my other submission:

Oh my goodness, Holly…despite those warm working conditions, your Mojo is in full swing! Both of your cards are gorgeous…the baby one is adorable with those little onesies and the Mojo card is delightful in it’s colors, flowers and incredible sentiment panel! Way to go!
Hi Holly, I understand about the heat!! Your cards are fabulous. The color blocking is a great effect. I love the sentiment on the 2nd card.
I hope you’re doing well. We are all excited to come see you on Thursday!! We’re just coming to color, chat, and have a great time. See you soon my friend.
