August Embellishment Challenge

Good morning! It's Sarah again with an embellishment challenge for August. We want you to use canvas on your card. I've found that canvas is a great surface to stamp on for a rustic textured look. Give it a try if you've never used it in your papercrafting before. We're excited to see what you come up with!

August Color Challenge

Hi everybody! It's Sarah again with you this week. I really adored all the beautiful and different takes on the sketch from last week. You guys are so creative! This week I have a color challenge for you. We are using red and gold. These were actually my wedding colors. Our 9th anniversary is coming up on October 23rd! And we just found out I am pregnant with our 4th child due in April!

Anyway, back to the colors. You are allowed to use BLACK and WHITE (or off-white) in addition to the red and gold. No green! :) Please have fun with this one!
