Dynamic Duo #1

It's official!  The Dynamic Duo Challenge Blog is up and running!!  I am thrilled to be on the first design team/  I have all the other "Dynamos" linked up on my sidebar - be sure to check out their creations.

The first color challenge was chosen from a contest on the Dynamic Duo Facebook page - Lucky Limeade and Pool Party!!  The deal with this challenge is to use ONLY these two colors (plus any neutrals) on any paper crafting project - cards, scrapbooking, digital or other.

I love how cheerful these two colors are together, so I made a card of "comfort"...



Papertrey Ink


I had so much fun working with these colors, I did a bonus card!

  20. Beautiful work. Loved these cards. I tried to pin one of them on Pinterest for future inspiration but got a message the picture was not pinable. I wish it would work as Pinterest is a great way to organize pictures for future inspiration. :-)
