Hi everyone!  It is with regret that I have to announce that this will be our last Pretty Palette challenge.  There seems to be so many challenges out there and participation in our challenge has decreased.  There is a lot of time and energy expended putting these challenges together, so we decided to end them.  We’d like to send a sincere thank you to those that so faithfully participated in our challenges.

Before we move on to our last challenge, we have to announce last week’s winner.  And that is…

Heather Mills

…Heather Mills!  Congratulations on this beauty!

Now for our last Pretty Palette challenge colors.These colors were taken from the Wildflowers digital paper pack.  Let’s see what the Pretty Palette design team did with these colors.

EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE!!!

I can finally share this! My 13 year old daughter Alexa’s artwork (a rainbow that says L♥VE) is featured on various t-shirts that are FOR SALE through www.papercloudsapparel.com!!!

Even MORE exciting she also has 2 prints for sale as well! (a flower trio (flowers), and an owl (named Love Bird)! View those here: http://www.papercloudsapparel.com/product-category/greetingcards5/

There are bamboo shirts, prints, and greeting cards for sale! Fifty percent of everything raised during IDSC’s block (Jan 21st – Feb 4th) will be donated directly to IDSC (International Down Syndrome Coalition), a cause very dear to my heart! SO PLEASE support the cause, and pick up a super cool t-shirt, print, or greeting cards! I know Alexa would LOVE to see YOU wearing a shirt with HER artwork, while supporting people with special needs ♥

Here is some information they are offering about Alexa!

(you can also read Alexa’s Story —>HERE!

About The Artist: Alexa (13 Years Old).

The beautiful “rainbow with love” illustration was done by 13 year old Alexa.  Alexa is an aspiring journalist/illustrator and she dreams of one day having her own series of poems or children’s books published.

Lauren (Alexa’s mother) wishes she would have had the ability to connect with an organization like IDSC when she was expecting Alexa.  At that time there was nowhere for her to turn to get the support she needed or to hear the truth about what life with someone who has Down Syndrome was actually like. Now, 13 years later, having the IDSC to connect with is beyond amazing for both Lauren and Alexa.

I am so proud that Alexa’s artwork was picked amongst MANY other talented artists! I know she is just over the moon with excitement as she awaits the arrival of her own works of art! To be able to team up with such an amazing company to raise money for such a great cause is beyond words!

Thank you for supporting our cause, and reading our story!
