Week 80: Purple

 

Winter getting the best of you?  How about adding some color to your week?!  Purple is a color that can carry many different moods depending on its shade and I'm guessing that people associate many different things with it!  It's going to be interesting to see just what those things are!

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps is returning this week as our wonderful sponsor!  With Valentine's Day fast approaching, you'll want to take a look at what their wonderful images and dies in the store!  They carry both clear and red rubber stamps!  This week's challenge winner will win a variety of unmounted, red rubber stamp images!

Let's take a look at what this week's guest designer and the design team members created for inspiration!  Be sure to visit their blogs to get more insight into their interpretations of the cue word!
