For the Love of Monochromatic

Hi Folks,

Micki here with our new challenge.  You guys probably know by now that as much as I love color and white space, I love - love - love- monochromatic.   Kind of like white space, it's a fail safe for me in my artsy creations, especially when my brain goes into it's analytical over load mode, :-)!  Monochromatic is also the perfect theme when life is hectic and time is limited for arts and crafts!  

The English Dictionary defines MONOCHROMATIC as:

adjective

1.

of or having one color.

2.

of, pertaining to, or having tones of one color in addition to theground hue: monochromatic pottery.

3.

Optics. pertaining to light of one color or to radiation of a singlewavelength or narrow range of wavelengths.

4.

Ophthalmology . of or pertaining to monochromatism.

So without further ado, our new challenge is:

MONOCHROMATIC

• create a project using one color or tones of one color! 
• it can be a card, canvas, crochet or knitted item, ANYTHING craft related as long as it follows the theme.

Deadline to enter:
You have until Sunday, July 6th - 8:00 P.M. (EST).

Winner will be announced Tuesday, July 9th.

Please remember to follow these few simple rules: 

• No backlinking only new creations.
• Three (3) entry limit.
• Must follow challenge theme to qualify for prize (when one is available).

• Direct link to your challenge entry ... not your entire blog.
• We would really appreciate you turning OFF the word verification.

Now for some sweet inspiration from our June Step Sisters:

Anna Karasiowa - Order and Disorder or Artistic World Karasiowej

                 

Now for the rest of the Sisters:

Terri

and last but not least here is mine:

Now it's your turn to share some MONOCHROMATIC fun!  

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Winner of Baby themed challenge

Hello Everyone!  I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weather and the long weekend (here in the States). I want to personally THANK all the Veterans out there for giving me and my family the Freedom and the life we have today.  Without them it wouldn't be possible.  These people put their lives on the line for my Freedom, how can you ever Thank them enough?? So if there are any who are reading this THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts from everyone here at the Sisterhood.

I enjoyed all the adorable baby projects.  I am hoping to be making some baby projects shortly (not for me lol) so they really came in handy.

I would also like to thank our wonderful Sponsor CRAFTIN' DESERT DIVAS for donating the prize for this challenge.

Thank you all for playing along with us!! Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for another great challenge here at the Sisterhood.

Happy Crafting!

All About Babies....

Hello everyone! Lisa B. here to announce the new challenge.  For this challenge we are asking you to base it around the sweetest blessings here on Earth - Babies!  Babies can bring a smile to your face when you are down in the dumps, they make you laugh, they make you cry and sometimes even want to pull your hair out..lol!  Such a large range of emotions but they really do bring us so much joy.  So let us put our Creative Thinking Hats on and see what we can come up with!  Make any project as long as it is based on a baby/infant.

And what is even better you ask?? This challenge is sponsored by a wonderful stamp company called CRAFTIN DESERT DIVAS. 

They have some adorable baby themed stamps that were just released a couple of weeks ago.  I personally will be working with the stamps to showcase how great they are.  What I loved about it was the fact that there were over 30 stamps in one set!  Below I have included a picture of the set that I will be using.

One lucky winner of the BABY challenge will win a stamp set of their choice!! So make sure you link up to our challenge below to be in the running for this great prize.  Also if you can stop by their Facebook page and leave them some love and thanks for sponsoring our challenge!  

Happy Crafting everyone! Can't wait to see what you all create.  I love getting so much inspiration from you all! 

Also I am proud to introduce our May Step-Sisters that will be joining us this month, Karen McAlpine and Lou Sims.  Thank you both for crafting along with us and helping us to inspire so many!
