ABC43 'Coloring With Markers'

Good morning everyone!  Our challenge last week was wonderful and we had a great turn out and we hope this week will be a fun challenge as well.  This week we are pulling out our makers and coloring the images on our cards.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Sure is!  So come join us and lets see those beautifully colored images!

ABC43 'Coloring With Markers'
Create any card that has an image that you colored using markers.  No solid images.  Be sure to use outline images so that you can color them.  

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery; simply use the keywords ABC43 for this challenge.  Below are our design team cards to get you inspired.  Be sure to click on their names to visit their blogs!

Jackie has been off for a few weeks and we are so glad she's back now. Welcome back, Jackie!  Some of our DT needed some time off, but I think for the most part, we are all back, except for Rosie, she'll be with us again later in the month.  We have such a wonderful DT and I love them all :)

Hello! What an honor to be the Guest Designer today for ABC Challenges! My name is Janis Lewis, and I started my Pause Dream Enjoy blog in May 2009, but I've been scrapbooking, crafting, and cardmaking since the early 90's. Last week my husband and I celebrated our 27th Wedding Anniversary. Eek! We have 4 children and 2 grand-boys. I'm a stay at home mom with our special needs youngest daughter. I'd love you to visit my blog and leave me a link to your's. Participating in challenges is one of my most favorite things to do. I find crafting so relaxing and enjoy meeting others who share my hobby. Enjoy your day! Smiles! :) Janis
