Last Color Challenge for October - some Little Yellow Bicycle up for grabs!

Good mornin', folks! Hope you're all geared up for another week - both in the Dollhouse and in your respective lives! We're always glad when you drop by, and hopefully we'll be able to help you get those creative juices flowing again with another Color Challenge!

Didn't see too many entries for last week's combo - guess I stumped you a bit? Those we did get were flippin' fantastic, so thanks to those brave enough to play! (I'm sure you were as happy with the results as I was to see 'em!)

Let's just cut right to the chase today... Pretty sure this one will be a lot easier, so I expect many more entries for a shot at this month's Color Challenge prize! I didn't get a chance to photograph it, what with starting my job training (with a big commute every day) and with entertaining my penpal from England for the last 2 weeks, but trust me when I say it's lots of fun (and Karen was kind enough to provide it - thanks Dollie!)...

So here we go! I wanna see.....

BLACK, WHITE and PURPLE!


I KNOW you can do this one! 'Cuz our Dollies had no trouble with this one at all, and once you see these projects, you won't be lacking in the inspiration department! :) Check 'em out...

ANDREA, our wonderfully talented Guest Dollie for October,
shared this adorable page featuring her little pea-pod sweetheart:



I, Leah, played with my Nesties and my yummy new Maya Mist:

(inside reads "Congratulations are in order!")

Karen created this stunner of a page of her daughter
with some seriously jaw-droppin' doodly action!


Penny made a page about her daughter, too, and combined lots of
fabby shades of purple with some of the CUTEST buttons I've ever seen!


Now I just DARE you to say that there are no wheels turnin' in those crafty little minds of yours! You wanna play? Well whatcha waitin' for?

You have until next Sunday, October 31st at midnight EST to link up a NEWLY CREATED project, and be sure to link back here so you'll be eligible for this month's prize! Have fun, and happy craftin'!

OH, and while I cringe to think about this, we're coming up on the end of this term for our Design Dollies, and will be holding the next Dollie Call very soon for the January - June term. Stay tuned for the deets, and start thinking about what you'd like to submit if you want to hang out with us in the Dollhouse!

Wearing our HEARTS on our sleeves...

Hey gang! Leah here, filling in for Adina-Dollie - we're a little mixed up in the Dollhouse this week, so please bear with us while we get things ironed out... I've got a FUN challenge for you all this week, and our Dollies have hit it home with awesome projects to inspire you!

We wanna see HEARTS!
Lots and lots of 'em as a recurring element on your creations this week...

HEARTS! Yeah, you should have NO trouble with this one, but in case you get stumped, here's how it's done...

Dana-Dollie WOWED us with this gorgeous page (which I think will make a fantastic front page for an album):


Penny-Dollie created a little piece of fabulosity for the love notes from her daughter:


And I (Leah) had a little fun with a huggy card for a friend I'm missing:

Easy enough, right? Let's see what you can come up with for this one, and play along by next MONDAY, October 25th at midnight EST for your chance to win a $15 gift certificate to spend at our fabulous sponsor's shop, Scrap-A-Doodle-Doo!

Remember that your projects must be created NEW for this challenge, and you must link back to the Dollhouse in your blog post in order to be eligible for this month's prize... You may combine challenges (with yesterday's Color Challenge or this coming Thursday's Sketch Challenge), but if you opt for that Trifecta action - for a chance to win any or ALL of this month's prizes - you only have until SUNDAY, October 22nd at midnight EST to play along.

Have fun, happy crafting, and much much love from all of the Design Dollies!

New week in the Dollhouse

Kristy here for Leah-Dollie who had an early work day after a late night of croppin :) So on with the show!

Today's color combo has been explained as "weird" and "christmasy" but I think it just sounds fabby!  Let's see what you can do with the combo of

Green and Silver

Our Dollies certainly took it and ran with it! 

Karen

Metal Minish

Nicole

See what I mean? I'm calling it fabby! You could go weird or christmasy if you want but let's see how you are inspired on your own ;) You have until Sunday Oct 24th @ midnight EST if you want to wait for the last two bits of the Trifecta or if you just want to rawk the color combo, same date same time. So I hope you enjoy your stay in the Dollhouse this week!
