Welcome to our newest challenge.  IB197 Color Challenge and IB197C Tag Color challenge are displaying some of our favorite things: Christmas/Holidays, and COLOR!  This challenge is different than our traditional photo challenges.  

We want to see YOU draw COLOR inspiration from the photos and YES, you can pick as many/few colors as you want to be "Inspired By" this week, just share with us which ones you chose to inspire all of us!  We want the photos to inspire you to pull out colors and ANY supplies/stamps you need or want to design with this week.  (You do NOT need to create a card with flowers or reindeer, (unless you want to), this is a COLOR challenge)!

As ALWAYS, our sketch is ALREADY inspired by the photos, so if you want/need to create a card for a Winter Birthday, Anniversary, Thank You, or for a recipient who celebrates another Holiday, PLEASE use the sketch and inspire us!

We can't wait to see if you are inspired by the colors in the  photo "IB" challenge, the colors in the  Christmas/Holiday photo "IBC" challenge, OR the sketch (you can use the sketch ANY way you like, and we have great sketch interpreters among us!)
