BRIGHT Color Challenge with huge prize for September!

Okay, my apologies for posting this so late - it's been one HECKOFADAY! You know the kind I'm talking about, right? I'm sure you do, and I hope you'll forgive me.

Hopefully this week's Color Challenge will be a little easier than last week's Grey, Green and White combo - I think that brought the LOWEST number of participants for one of my challenges since the Dollies kicked off in October 2009! Well those of you who did play along totally ROCKED the colors, so thank you for braving it! :)

Today/tonight, something that might be a bit easier (but still totally up my alley!). I give you...

BLUE, GREEN, ORANGE and RED

Technically, you can use any shades of these, but red is RED, not pink or wine or burgundy or what have you... So do with this combination what you will! You can create anything you like, as long as these are the PREDOMINANT colors.

Feast your eyes on some Dollie inspiration:

Jingle, our AMAZING Guest Dollie for September, made a glass
slide ornament and played with alcohol inks... CHECK THIS OUT!

The lovely Dana brought some elegance to the table with this wonderful notecard:

The doodly Karen gave us some serious WHIMSY with this quirky little page:

and I, Leah the Orange, used up some scraps and started
the rebuilding of my birthday card stash:

See? Not so bad, right? Well if you want to play along, you'll be in the running for THIS:

But it's IMPORTANT that you follow the rules - we don't ask much!

Create something NEW for this project (no linking to projects already created or posted). Link to your POST, not to your general blog, so it's easy for us to find you and shower you with Dollie love. Link BACK to the Dollhouse in your post, so people reading your blog can check out our challenges for themselves (and fall madly in love with Design Dollies!). :) Play along by Sunday, September 19th at midnight, EST. You can combine this one with either or both of the challenges for this week, but everything resets on Sunday at midnight, and starts over again on Monday with the next color challenge. If you're not sure about any of this, CLICK HERE for information about the TRIFECTA! If you combine challenges and follow all the rules, you're eligible for any of those prize packages for the month. We know a lot of you combine challenges around the blogosphere, so why not play in one place for chances at three different prizes? :) Yeah, we think it's a pretty great concept, too.

Happy craftin', folks!

Color Challenge coming soon!

Morning, friends and visitors of the Dollhouse!

I've spent the morning running around with my hubbin, trying to figure out what's wrong with his car, and we are waiting for the tow truck to arrive so we can get it to my dealership. We'll probably be there a while, and hopefully they can fix it today. I'll be back later this afternoon or this evening with the new challenge - please be patient! :D

Sketch it up!

Is it just me or has fall jumped on in without a proper send off to summer? Its like BAM cold September1. I've got a sweater on for cripes sake. Oh well. We've got some hot dolls here for ya today to whisk away the cold so let's get this party started!

Here's the Hawt Dolls now...

Yesterday's COLOR CHALLENGE was the first for the month, so GET IN ON IT!

Alter it Tuesday!

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back! :) So sorry for the delayed posting (school started for us today officially and I honestly got caught up in the back to work thing...). So this will be a quickie and I'll be back later on this week to post a pic of the new prize and our August winner...

This week's Elements challenge is to create an ATC using your own flair... AND the twist is to then USE that ATC in a project of your own design. SO your project is two fold and should show both the ATC and the completed project (before and after shots?)...

Here goes some inspiration from the Dollhouse!

Please welcome our September Guest Designer, Jingle, who TOTALLY rocked this challenge with a fabby interpretation:

While Dana got funky and WAY outside the box with this beautiful butterfly: And Karen definitely didn't go by the book with this gorgeous homage to her daughter's Guinea pig!Which she transformed into a bookmark!

And Adina played with some Vintagesque looks

To create a vintagey card (which was then sent to her Nana!) :)

And Chiqui got timeless with this ATC:

And then TOTALLY pulled out her vintage/shabby chicness to make THIS gorgeous card:

And there you have it folks... Please upload all newly created ATC/completed projects via Mr. Linky by midnight EST on Tuesday, September 14th in order to be included in this month's drawing. Be sure to link BACK to the Dollhouse on your blog post - and please show us your ATC as well as the new project you've created USING the ATC (you only need to post one link as long as both photos are on your blog).

You can combine this challenge with Monday's Color Challenge, or wait until tomorrow for the Sketch Challenge and try your hand at the TRIFECTA, if you're feeling daring! Trifecta projects must be completed by Sunday night at midnight EST as the new Color Challenge will go live Monday morning.
