Embellish Dimension Color Challenge

Happy Friday, Bleeps! It's already time for another Embellish challenge and now Renaissance by Design is sponsoring! I created this card using the color constraints and dimension, which is the element to include this time around. Make sure you head on over to the blog here to find out all of the details and see what the rest of my fabulous design team created. They're the best!

Have you all checked out Embellish Magazine's Premiere Issue yet? A lot of people have and I really appreciate the support and great feedback you all have given us about this major project! For those of you who haven't, it is still available to view here and the premier issue is only $3. Inside, there are a lot of great cards designed by well known designers and some newbies too! Also, you'll find articles and information about CHA! Make sure you check it out.

That leads me to the next topic...the next Embellish issue. The focus is on buttons! Who doesn't love buttons? The publication call is now open to everyone. The deadline is May 10, but I want to extend it another week...just because I can! We all need extra time, right? Trust me, being a designer I know that. So the new deadline will be May 17 at 11:59 pm EST to get those submissions in to be considered for the next issue. It is sponsored by DeNami Design and has a $250 prize up for grabs for the designer whose project is featured on the cover!

I'm done now! I just had to get that off my chest! So, what's everyone doing this weekend? I'll be creating, getting some gym time in, celebrating with my mom, and having a good time. I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Thanks so much for your visits and kind comments. I read each of them and am very grateful for you all!
