BLOGGER'S CHALLENGE #35 - COLOR CHALLENGE

    This week we have a color challenge - create a card using Stampin' Up!'s Purely Pomegranite, Brilliant Blue, and Old Olive.  I can't remember the last time that I used Brilliant Blue and I don't think I had ever used Purely Pomegranite but I can say that Old Olive is a staple for me.  Gimme those earth tones any day of the week!

    I had to have this little Gnome from Stampendous in my collection.  (I recently bought another one that has him sitting on a mushroom and holding a clover for St. Patrick's Day.)  Cute, cute, cute!  Here he's shown in his very finest designer Gnome clothes.  Seriously...take a look at any of those high fashion mags and you'll see...NOTHING in their outfits match either!!  (We recently redeemed some unused airline miles for some magazine subscriptions.  The selection was fairly limited...at least for me...and I chose Harper's Bazaar and Elle.  There is NOT one redeeming thing in those mags for me...the outfits are outrageous and the rest is so not for the 'regular' woman.  Maybe it's just me but I don't get it!  I digress...)
     I colored my little guys in with Prismacolor Markers and I printed the sentiment out onto pomegranite cardstock from the computer.  The patterned paper is from a $1 pack at JoAnn's by KI Memories.
    We're 'supposedly' gearing up for some snow tonight and tomorrow.  We've got out fingers crossed since we've had a really mild winter here in MD.  Hopefully we'll have a snow day and I can do nothing but stamp!  I hope you all have a great weekend and don't forget to click on the Blogger's Challenge logo to visit the other BC blogs.  We, again, have some new members this week!

[Mary Jo Price-Williams]

what a fun card. I love gnomes! By the way -- I SOOOOOOO agree with you on how Bazaar the Bazaar magazine is. I don't know how they call that style, it cracks me up. I was looking the other day at a girl with a super short mini skirt and nylons that were all ripped up and it reminded me of a really bad drunk I had once and when I woke up with rips in my nylons I new I shouldn't drink again, lol. But these people are doing it on purpose and sober! Funny.

I've always "gnome" you to be a great stamper but I love what you did with this challenge!
