Challenge #113

Happy Friday everyone!
I hope you all had a great week. From popular consensus, it went by a wee bit slow. ;)
Nevertheless, I am always grateful for a new day and a fun weekend ahead!
Thank you all for your beautiful swirl and damask entries.
So many pretty designs to CASE and be inspired by.
I hope you all take some time to hop around on each other's blogs -
hopefully soon I'll have the inlinkz feature with the card pictures and not just links.

 Until then, congratulations to the following crafters:

Jennifer H.

Maya

mONAmi

It was SUCH a joy to visit everyone!

And now on to our new challenge which I hope you'll love!
This past summer I went to a Thirty-One Conference
that debuted the loveliest combo of gray and lavender.

It is such a sweet pairing that I just had to make it a photo challenge:

Draw any inspiration from this photo and create a card or project!
Here with some amazing samples are the Bar-Tenders:
