Editor’s Choice HIVE BEEN THINKING OF YOU! by Jan Hunnicutt www.jans-gonestampin.blogspot.com
RED BALLOON by Judith Gowdy www.jgsnook.blogspot.com.au
I
am really excited about this new feature - we have so many amazing cards come in that we ooh & a over them all. Here are a couple that really caught my eye for this issue. The Hive Been Thinking of You card by Jan (featured on page 21) is striking with the black, yellow & white color scheme! I love how she kept her card clean and simple really making it pop. I also love how she lined the envelope in matching pattern paper creating a custom & elegant one of a kind card. The next card that caught my eye is Red Balloon by Judith Gowdy (featured on page 48) with the white on white design and just some simple washi tape as an accent. Her coloring takes center stage on this card that could really be for any occasion. Just goes to show you don’t have to have loads of embellishments to make an impact. Both of these ladies will receive a special prize pack from Designed To Color with their complimentary issue! We almost always have an open call going and if not, we do have challenges each month on our blog. We can’t wait to feature you, but it won’t happen if you don’t take a chance and submit...so what are you waiting for?

The Color Crew share their coloring spaces...
Lizzie Sanchez www.ohsnaplizzie.com When some people create, they like a nice clean environment, not this girl! I like to create at my little green desk with baners and papers and photos of things that inspire me right up in my face! I love color and I love patterns. I love to be inspired by both of these things, even if I’m just doing a simple coloring job on a flower. I’m big into “thrifting” and that is where I found my desk and desk organizer. there is nothing wrong with a little second hand love. Of course, you can never, ever under any circumstance have enough Hello Kitty.
Lisa McKinney www.lisabeesponderings.blogspot.com My crafting space is my beautiful desk that my husband made for me! It’s huge and custom designed to include a shelf underneath for all my paper containers. My primary medium (Copics) are kept in a 14”x11”x3.25” plastic box. I have over 100 Copics (Ciao & Sketch) and they easily fit in this -- of course if I get many more, I’ll need another box! But it keeps them nice and flat and because the box is clear, I can look through the sides of it to find the color I need.
Rhea Weigand www.passionatepapercreations.blogspot.com I just discovered this wonderful way to organize my Copic Markers!!! Seriously awesome! It is a double deep Art Bend. To hold and separate the markers I have a grid for a Florissant light that I got from Home Depot. The grid is cut 19 squares by 19 squares with 4 square dowels in each corner. There are rubber bands around the dowels to hold the grid in place and I glued the dowels to the bottom of the Art Bend with E6000 adhesive. Since I have mine slanted on a shelf I shimmed the bottom of the grid with chip board so the weight of the markers won’t shift. This holds every color of Copic except for the blender if you have the flourescence colors. I do not have them so I have room for my multi liners. When you want to go color with friends, put the lid on and go! If you use a coupon the total cost for organizer is about $30. I got this idea from my friend Jennifer.

rom main dishes and salads to the final decorative touch on a dessert, lemon zest is used in the culinary world to add that extra bite of flavor and pop of color. The word zest seems to be synonymous with vim, vigor and vitality. Having a zest for life is a bold and intense passion for living. The color “lemon zest” brings to mind bright sunshine and citrus hues. Whether used as a primary color or as a supporting tone, Lemon Zest is being seen all over the paper crafting world. It’s just a happy color! SUNNY
