Whoa--judging by the noise outside my window, the Lakers must have just won the NBA championship. Woo. Hoo. (Can you tell I'm not a pro basketball fan, LOL!) Today I'm playing along with the nice bunch at Papertrey Paper Dolls and their 8th challenge, a color challenge. When I saw the colors I thought: Wow, I *never* would have put those three colors all together. Now THAT'S a challenge, way out of my comfort zone. You know what? I ended up loving the combo. I used it for my dad's Father's Day card, and I think it looks even a little bit . . . sophisticated? Not the card necessarily, but the colors. I think my dad'll . . . well, he'll compliment the card and then it will go live in his sock drawer with all the others . . . but I mean, I could write "Happy FD" on a paper bag and he'd treasure it, but I'll know that this year, he gets a cool card! :-) (Please forgive atrocious punctuation. Thank you.) Thanks Lee Anne, for pushing me to stretch my boundaries this week!Supplies

Great take on the color challenge - looks well balanced. I love the textures and the embossing!
Beautiful color combination and great take on the challenge. Love the first one more.
Great card, Jill! I especially like what you did to the inside of the card.
I've not heard of or seen that corner chomper with the design like that....interesting...need to check in to that. Love the embossing....an effect I cannot do and love seeing :)
this is a great color combo. Perfect for a guy. Love the label.
A great card for this challenge! I love that frame! This was a tough combo wasn't it? But I loved it too! I need to get my card posted! Thanks for playing!
