Capture its depth. Sample its nature. Command its presence. Ensnare its mystery.

Quench our desire for plum.

Here's how to proceed from here:

  1. Create a paper crafted project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor, etc.) that captures the essence of plum in its design.

  2. Upload a photo of your project to your blog, come back here and post the URL to your project page (not your main blog URL) in the Mr. Linky box below. Post a link to the Moxie Fab World in your blog's text to encourage your readers to see the other projects that have been linked and to try the challenge themselves.

  3. If you don't have a blog, go to this Flickr gallery, upload your photo, and post the URL to your project (not the group) in the Mr. Linky box below.

  4. Accomplish this task by midnight on Monday, November 16. The winning entries will be showcased on this blog on Wednesday, November 18 and will receive a truly moxie fab prize!

No matter what your project, no matter what your style, I'll be looking for the richness, the elegance, the depth, the flavor, the laughter, and the sheer joy that is plum!

Plum crazy for this challenge,

~Cath

PS In case you missed it, I've added a little poll to the right sidebar of this blog. In the coming weeks and months, I'd love to get to know you, the Moxie Fabber, better. I'd surely be grateful if you could take a little minute to answer the simple question of the week: Do you subscribe to Paper Crafts magazine? Easy peasy and many thanks!

PPS Courtney Baker's Tuesday Trigger is a fun one, no? We'd all love to see your takes--and maybe you'll be mentioned as a Trigger Target! Link 'em up until Monday of next week here! Submit your own inspiring targets to me at tuesdaytrigger@gmail.com.

Yay!!!! Lately I've been feeling plum too, Cath!!! Just a couple of weeks ago I had a post on my blog where I gave tribute to this lovely color. My inspiration was my wardrobe and that of my little girl ;) Which works perfect now because I'm moving and have my paper craft materials in boxes. Love it, love it!! With those images uh, I just want more plum colored clothing and accessories :)

My much neglected plum cardstock may be getting a workout now--love it, and I love especially that it works equally well for formal elegance as for whimsy!
