Hello everyone! Before we get started with today’s challenge, we have a few announcements to make!

First, we are very, very sad to have to say goodbye to the most awesome Groovy Gurl, Jeri.

Jeri, we wish you well. We’d like you to know that you are always going to be a Groovy Gurl to us!!

We look forward to seeing your future projects.

Second, we proudly welcome Jacquie Peifer as the newest Groovy Gurl on the team!

Welcome Jacquie, we’re excited to see all the wonderful things you’ll create!

And last but not least, we welcome Juanita Gillen as our guest Groovy Gurl for May!

Welcome, Juanita!!! Can’t wait to see your cool creations.

Ok, on with the show!

I'm not sure about my card - I'm feeling like it needs something else... I dusted off my Slice to create the flowers :)

In fact, check this out:

1. Each time you enter a challenge for the month, you will receive one entry into an end of month drawing for a free digi of your choice. If you use an SIS image, you get another entry. The drawing will be done on the first day of the next month.

2. Then, the top 3 entries each week will receive an “I grooved with the Gurlz” badge to display on their blogs. We’ll distribute the badges on the day of the new challenges.

Singin’ the Bluez

author | March 2, 2008

If you are a loyal reader – all 2 of you :) – you know I was challenged by my BFF, StampVamp, to use a blue from each family… on ONE card. :) Now, I know how to work the angles with the best of ‘em, but, alas, challenge precludes using extra cards to get all the shades in! And, I gotta tell you – this just ain’t as easy as you would think! I was cruizin’ along until it came time for that Brilliant Blue. Brilliant. In a perfect world, I would avoid that color on this card, but overall, I don’t hate the outcome… That’s sayin’ a lot considering the cussin’ coming from the stampin’ lair for a while there! :) How existential… that’s me channeling that Geico commercial, you know the one I mean… “this is a real Geico customer, so we’ve hired someone who inteviews people to blah, blah blah…” (It’s a lot better than that uber-annoying Joan Rivers one… OMG, save me!) Okay, so I am not properly caffeinated this morning… or this afternoon! Holy frijoles, Batman! Raise your hand if you haven’t been to the gym yet today…
****************************************
I would REALLY like to see some more answers to the Vamp’s challenge. This was a good ‘un!
****************************************
I ended up going with the following shades and embellies:
Bashful Blue (Soft Subtles) ~ paper
Not Quite Navy (Earth Elements) ~ paper and classic ink
Bordering Blue (Rich Regals) ~ paper
Brilliant Blue (Bold Brights) ~ paper and classic ink
Very Vanilla ~ paper and craft ink
Timber Brown StazOn
I used Office Accoutrement stamp set and the File Tab punch, wide Grosgrain in chocolate, a staple and a binder clip.
