Curtain Call Colour Challenge: Act #40

Oh my another week has just flashed by!!  I can't believe that it is time for another CCCC, is it just me or is time flying by as we get older??  When I was little, weeks seemed to take forevvvvvvvvvver to roll past,  but as an adult I seem to blink and the week is gone!!   Are we just so busy these days to notice the time???

Anyhoo, without further ado!  Act #40 brings Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White and Basic Black, another fresh and fun combo from Stacey!  When I originally looked at the colours and the picture I was thinking of a beach theme, but alas my initial thoughts and the final creation look totally different!!

If you would like to play along, head over to Stacey's Stamping Stage and link your creation in with Mr Linky! Stacey will be awarding one creation with "The Lead" and 5 creations for the "Top 5 show stopper", qualifying to adorn your blog with the badges and share the news with all!!

As always, if you would like some inspiration to get you started with these colours you can head over to the Design Team members blogs to check out their impressive creations and our illustrious leader Stacey, will have a beautiful creation to get you going too!

Remember we also have the very talented Silke joining us for the month of July, another impressive place to visit!

Curtain Call Colour Challenge: Act 38

Oops, another hiccup with the scheduling- doh!!!!
Welcome back for another week of fun with the Curtain Call Colour Challenge!  Act 38 has an unusual mix of colours Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla, a colour combination that I don't think I would have used in my wildest dreams!!  Having put them all together and had a play, I really love all these colours together- what a difference a week makes-lol!!!   Isn't the bouquet of flowers just beautiful- very springy!

A BIG thank you to all who replied last week to my call for 'Ribbon Help', I have some great ideas and tips for the next time I try to give scrunched ribbon a whirl, if all else fails I will pull out the sewing machine as Melissa suggested and then it won't move an inch!!!  thanks again-mwah!
