#31. Heading on OUT! Goodbye In Colors

We are a group of great friends from all over the place, who wanted to start a stress-free challenge site. This will be a weekly challenge, and there will always be something here for you to see or try. Individually, as designers, we may not all be here every week because we are busy just like you!! So 'take the plunge' when you can or stop by to be inspired, even if you don't have time to "play". Make sure you don't miss a week of inspiration by subscribing to our site on the right!

"So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight..." With so much excitement ahead with a new catalog launching in June, It is with sadness that we say goodbye to the ice cream hues of the 2012-2014 In Colors.  We will miss the soft feel of Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, and Strawberry Slush (anyone else feeling hungry??).  Please show some respect here, and show your true "in" colors!

Congratulations to Jodi McKinney for winning our April Shower challenge last week!  We truly appreciate your wonderful talent!  Be sure to check out her amazing blog!

This week, we would love to try a double whammy for us!  We are posting a sketch here, and will give you some sketch-peration (new term), but we would LOVE for you to double-dip.  We are asking you to use our sketch, but to ALSO incorporate another challenge website's challenge in your entry... for example, maybe use our sketch, but another site's color challenge, or theme challenge! Hop around and explore!   There are so many great challenge sites out there, and we can relate to how hard it is to start one - we are sending out challenge-love!  Here is our sketch, then our projects - be sure to show us YOURS!!  NEWSFLASH:  You can now post your pictures of your projects using your Instagram account too!  No more excuses about not having a blog!

Here's the sketch - now GO!

You know the saying..."April showers..." well, we are really only going to focus on the first part of that - the showers part.  So many showers happen in the springtime - not just the sprinkly rain kind, but the baby/wedding kind.  This week we are asking you to make a baby or wedding shower project and upload it here to share.  We are going to do our part to help you get it going.  Here's what the Lifeguards have designed for you this week:
