Final Colour Challenge Pick

Hi there

Tonight's picks are from this weeks entries for the River Rock Challenge.  I think we have all done well with this challenge - stepping outside our colour zones.

Top Left - Narelle Hoggard, Top Right - Judy Beetson

Bottom Left - Helen Williams, Bottom Right - Heather Stewart

I'll be back in a few days with some more picks from last week.

Catch you soon

Paula

Colour Challenge still open

Hi

If you would still like to have a go at our colour challenge I'll leave it open for another week.  Next week I may do two weekly picks - one for River Rock and one general.

If you created a River Rock project why not give the other combination a go.

River Rock in action

Hi there

Last week I gave us all a challenge to use River Rock in our projects.  Some have used River Rock, Cherry Cobbler & Marina Mist while others have used River Rock, Tangerine Tango & Not Quite Navy.  I think we all found that River Rock was a first choice colour. I'll have a new challenge for February so keep a look out.  Thanks to all those that participated.

Who likes a challenge?

Hi everyone

I hope you have all managed to stay dry this week.

I thought I'd give us all a challenge this week - a colour one.  Over the next week try and use one of the following combinations in your projects - River Rock, Cherry Cobbler & Marina Mist or River Rock, Not Quite Navy & Tangerine Tango.  These combinations are straight from the colour coach.  Next weeks picks will be ones where the above have been used.  And now to this weeks picks:

Top Row L-R:  Judy Beetson, Rachael Knight, Dee Sturgeon

Middle Row L-R:  Tracey Old, Lisa Bullock, Bron Heslop

Bottom Row L-R:  Sally Williams, Kristine McNickle, Paula Reid

Well it's back to work tomorrow - if you are starting back as well I hope your week goes well.  If you are still on holiday I hope it's enjoyable.

Take care

Paula

Happy New Year

Hi everyone

Welcome to 2012!  This is my first post as host of NZSU!  Please bear with me as I get to grips with this new role.  Hopefully there won't be too many teething problems.

I would like to send a BIG thanks to Keryn for hosting this site over the last 12 months - I have big shoes to fill :)

I have a few ideas for this site and will share them with you over the coming weeks.  If you have any ideas for this site please email me.

Now on with the picks of the past week.

Top Row L-R:  Sharna Russell, Rhonda Fawcett, Delys Cram

Thanks for sharing your creations.

Merry Christmas and Goodbye

As this will be the last post of 2011 Merry Christmas to you all.  I've filled this post with Christmas ideas for the last minute Christmas preparations that some of us still have to do.

And again because it's the last post of 2011 it's time for me to hand over adminstration of NZSU Sites to the more than capable Paula Reid.

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year with lots of time for crafting.

I started this post yesterday

Thank you so much to Paula Reid who answered my call last week.  Paula will be looking after this blog from January next year.

More fabulous designs

from our Stampin' Up!® demonstrator team.  The stand out project this week has to be the Pom Pom Mouse from Julia Leece using the Beau Chateau Fabric.

A quick note for our demonstrator team.  At the end of this year it is time for me to step down as the adminstrator of this blog and let somebody else take a turn.  If you're enjoying visiting the site, if it's been good at generating visits for your blog you may want to consider making sure it keeps going.  EMail me to find out what's involved.

Happy Halloween

While I don't personally celebrate Halloween I couldn't miss out Paula Dobson's gorgeous haunted house card from the selection this week.

Happy Labour Day

I hope all Kiwis are enjoying the Labour Day holiday and not too hung over/tired after celebrating the All Black win last night.
