Special Challenge-Lindsey's Legacy Hop and the Colors Purple and Red

Hello Crafters,

Today, we are posting a day early because we have a very special Challenge here at Color Hues! Carol Mayne is our wonderful hostess and she will be picking our winners.

In conjunction with our normal Color Challenge, The Color Hues Design Team and a few guests from our sister challenge Seize the Birthday, are participating in a Blog Hop.

We are hopping in memory of our dear friend, fellow cardmaker and Design Team member, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of Ovarian Cancer.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey’s husband, Burke, thought it would be a great time to sell off her many craft supplies. All of the proceeds will to towards Lindsey’s Legacy Fund for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research in cooperation with The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

The purpose of this hop is to honor Lindsey, to celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as to spread the word to raise funds for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research. To find out the many ways you can help click HERE.

In honor of Lindsey, the team has created a variety of cards using her favorite color combo of Purple and Red.

The next stop on the hop is Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. Please be sure to leave a comment at each of the stops where you can learn more about Lindsey’s life, her loves and her legacy.

If you get lost along the way, please return to Emily Leiphart’s blog for the hop list and details.

If you post on IG please use any of the following #hashtags so we along with Lindsey's family can see your card too.

Thank you for hopping with us. We are looking forward to seeing what you make for this challenge using Lindsey’s favorite colors.

The challenge will be open until September 28th @ 9 AM EST!

Take care, Nanc'

Hi there friends, Tracey here and I hope you had fun playing with tangerine and violet! I know these colours may not be in everyone's comfort zone, but the gallery was full of gorgeous inspiration! Thank you so much for playing along with us.

The most difficult task when you are the host of the challenge is having to select winners...

Color Hues #71 Tangerine and Violet

Hi there Color Hues friends! It's Tracey here and I can't believe it's September 1st! The weather this summer has been anything but normal. We had a few heat waves but it was one of those summers where a sweater was never too far away. Fall is almost here and it's my favourite season of the year, anyone else?

I chose Tangerine and Violet as the new color duo. Besides being an excellent bold colour duo, these colours would work well for fall theme cards! In Canada, Thanksgiving is always the second Monday of October. So we are literally ending summer, celebrating the harvest and then into Halloween over a few short weeks.

As you scroll down today you will see all the designs my fabulous and talented teammates have created! I hope you love them all just as I do and find some time to play along with us!

Our Design Team:

This challenge will be open until September 14th @ 9AM!

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live.

The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a

future Guest Designer!

Most importantly, just have fun!

Tracey

Winner's Post #70-Red and Yellow

Welcome back, crafters! First of all, I want to thank all of you that played along with our challenge. I know some of you found the red and yellow combination a challenge but regardless, you made my color combo shine with all of your fabulous creations! While difficult, I did manage to narrow it down to four top entries.

So, here are my favorites!
