Operation Write Home's Midweek Throw Down Color Challenge

Hi everyone:

Here is my submission to the Operation Write Home 
Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge
It’s time for a color challenge and Doodle Pantry’s design team chose red & black with a pop of red or green!  We’re challenging you to make cards using black & white with a pop of red or greenfor our heroes to send home to their family and friends!  I really need to invest in a new camera or better lighting but as you can see the Lawn Fawn Reindeer has a bright red nose. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. There is a bright red ball on the black and white gingham ribbon. I hope you like him! I made five of them to add to my box of cards to be shipped out to Operation Write Home.  Remember have fun, 
give our heroes your best...and NO GLITTER!

Cheers
Laurie

Scrap Room Challenge on Scrapbook.com

Hi everyone. I am doing the scrapbook challenge on www.scrapbook.com.  Here is the link: http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1569295/

And here are the before pictures of the space plan and organization, I thought was going to work but obviously didn't.

 As you can see, I tried to keep this space nice and neat. I think the space plan and organization is the problem.  That is one of the first things I am going to work on.

This is the first step in the Pre-Challenge. To take pics of the space as it is! So here is the disaster area in all its glory!


Scary that my pretty corner desk is completely unusable, one because its a total mess, and two because I can't even get to it!
