Alison aka newstampinaddict will present us with our Challenge this month

[newstampinaddict]

YAY for Christmas!! It's right around the corner you know...

My challenge for you this month is to think in monochrome. Make a card or a tag that uses shades of one color and feel free to throw in one neutral white, ivory, or black.... :-)

Have fun and let's get crankin'. 4 months to go!!!!!!

Can't wait to get in and see all these cards! I was waylaid by "finishing the basement" -- but now I have my own little craft room... As soon as I get everything loaded in, I'll be back in full swing and way behind on Christmas! Really can't wait to dive in and see all your wonderful cards! keep stampin'!

[Precious Kitty]

Here is my second one for August -

F4A177 & CCC13: Mary and Jesus

[susanbri]

Numbers 1 and 2 of 10 for August are done for the Queen for the Day challenge.

This one uses the August challenge - "monochrome" - I used shades of aqua with white:

Vellum for Arizona Maine 2 by susanbri - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

And this one is just blue and white so I guess it's monochrome too:

Vellum for Arizona Maine by susanbri - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[susanbri]

Here's number 3 of 10:

A Wreath for Clownmom

[DiHere]

Finally ahead - for a week or so, anyway!! It's amazing how much more you can accomplish when you get a break from school runs. I expect to return to much sparser crafting again in September .

July Challenge in August!

[susanbri]

Love Alison's monochrome challenge for this month! Here's gold monochrome. Number 5 of 10:

Fleur de Lis Mat

[Precious Kitty]

Have another one for August ... yay!

CCC13: Greetings

[ohmypaper!]

I have two cards to post today. One falls into the August theme of monochromatic.

O Holy Night

Sparkle

[susanbri]

Not totally monochrome as it has both white and black added to the red. This is number 6 of 10 for August:

Red and White with Horses

[susanbri]

If you're a Fan Club member, and need some ideas, there are lots of great challenges this week on the SCS Dare to Get Dirty 2013 challenge forum. I did number 7 of 10 using two of those challenges:

Holly with Ribbon on a Colourwash

[Precious Kitty]

August is finally finished! Yay ...

CCC13: Green X 4
(Because there are four of these cards made)

CCC13: Blue Plaid

[susanbri]

Numbers 8 and 9 of 10:

Joy in Red and White

Framed Ornament

[susanbri]

I'm having fun doing lots of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges. Summerthyme64's challenge is perfect for Christmas cards. So I did two for it:

Merry Bells
Peace Dove on Stars

[susanbri]

I've finished my August quota of 10, but I need to up my quota so if it's okay, I'll keep posting more cards here during August. Here's another for the DTGD challenges:

One Layer Joy for Sallie

[susanbri]

You'll all be glad when the Dare to Get Dirty challenge is over and I'll stop posting for awhile. Here's what I did for Dini's DTGD challenge and also for the Free for All challenge on diamonds (and yes, it is a Christmas card):

My Spaniel Shea
