Last November, I was visiting my in-laws for Thanksgiving when I spotted this rose.  Here in the Midwest, it is very uncommon to see roses still in bloom in November, so I stopped to snap a photo.  The Seduction Monochromatic Family was perfect for scrapping this gem of a photo.  I combined it with some papers from the Que Sera Sera collection from K&Company to create this layout.

Cardstock: Couture Cardstock “Seduction Monochromatic Family: Enticing, Pick-up Line, Dervish, The Other Woman, Courtesan,” “Silk Road Monochromatic Family: Firelight”

Thanks for dropping in!  Have fun creating today!

Today’s Challenge: Use RED on your project.

Rules for both of our month-long contests follow:

First, we are giving it all away! In honor of National Craft Month, we are holding a month long contest in March. The winner will receive 1 of every product in our store.  That’s 291 sheets of cardstock, in every color, weight, and texture you could ever need!  Here’s what you have to do to win: put our blinkie on your blog using the code available in the sidebar to the right.   Leave us a comment (on this post) with a link to your blog where you posted our blinkie, and you are entered to win!  That’s all there is to it! We will draw one very lucky winner on April 2nd.  (if you already have our blinkie, leave us a comment and tell us that too, you are eligible to win).

Second,  to celebrate National Craft Month, we are holding a month long contest here at Couture Cardstock, and your participation will determine the size of the prize!  Each day during the month of March, we will be offering a challenge on our blog.  Each day, you have one opportunity win a prize pack by completing that challenge and linking it to that day’s post.   For every challenge entry received, we will add a sheet of cardstock to the prize pack. All entries must be posted by 11:59 pm EST the day of that challenge and the winner for each day will be selected the following morning.  The minimum prize pack will be 10 sheets of your choice, the maximum depends on YOU!!

2. Entries must be posted in a gallery or on a personal blog, and must mention Couture Cardstock in the description.
