These colors do work together well, you just have to get creative! I used the paper pack which was an exclusive for convention-goers this past year. It was called Viva. I made a layout using a pattern from the How-To book, Reflections (Sidebar - Original). You can read more about it on my blog.

Our guest designer this week is Jessica Lessner. She made a beautiful, Clean and Simple rainbow card:

Color Dare #75 - Pacifica, Sky, & Lagoon

Happy New Year everybody! We're so glad you stopped by. We are saying goodbye to a couple of our design team members. Amie and Caroline will be leaving. We will miss them, but I'm sure they will still play along once in a while!

Our winners of our two-week Sparkle & Shine challenge are:

Hillary H. wins the Color Dare Diamond:

Sheila Bennett wins the Color Dare Emerald:

Cheryl Even wins the Color Dare Ruby:

Denise Elliot wins the Color Dare Sapphire:

This week we are having a monochromatic challenge:

Pacifica

Sky

Lagoon

Lesson: Monochromatic colors are different shades of the same color. Our challenge colors aren't exactly true monochromatic hues, but since they're shades of blue, it's close enough. Pacifica is a bright shade of blue with just a touch of green, Sky is a lighter shade of the same color, and Lagoon is a bright green-blue. I used scraps from the retired paper pack Magnifique to make a New Year's page. You can read more about it on my blog.

Our first guest designer of the year is our loyal participant: Jody Gustafson! She made a pretty clipboard calendar.

Now check out the work of our amazing design team:

Becca Whitham
