Grey Matter RESQ69

The brain is our most complex but least understood organ. One of the great mysteries lies in the GREY matter. The senses of the body (speech, hearing, feelings, seeing and memory) and control of the body's muscles are part of the grey matter's function. But the amount and distribution of the grey matter shapes a one's personality, higher order thinking, and memory.

For this week's challenge, use your GREY matter and create something with GREY as the dominant color! Go to your favorite color combo and replace the black or brown with grey. use metallic silver embossing or even metal embellishments. Just let me see the GREY!

Here is my Grey creation:

Let's Work on Your Two Lips!

I'll bet you didn't know we had our very own Nip and Tuck specialist right here on the Res-Q, did you? Well our plastic surgeon on call is hosting today's challenge and she wants to help get you on the A-list! We're talking Meg Ryan, Goldie Hawn (in First Wives Club), Dyan Cannon, Cher, and dozens of others who have (for unknown reasons) chosen to pump 'em up! That's right, Mick Jagger lips, baby, TWO LIPS in fact!

Not so fast, I wouldn't put you, our loyal followers, through the torture OR the end result. Make that TULIPS, one of my favorite flowers. I just love this time of year and the tulip festivals that abound.

For some reason, when I see a bouquet of different colors of tulips, my two lips just get all smiley. There's so much spring in all that color. Today's Res-Q is a color challenge. Use the palette provided to design your layout or card.

For you Stampin Up gals, the colors are pretty close to apricot appeal, regal rose, certainly celery and tempting turquoise, but don't worry yourself into frown lines trying to match the colors exactly. Use them for inspiration to make a card that turns up the edges of those two lips of yours! Most of all, have fun and let us see what you've done.

Thanks for playing. My two lips send you big old MWAH!

Circulation!

The physiologist is back on duty with another sketch for you! A pretty easy sketch so I had to make a little twist for you....

In most Anatomy and Physiology textbooks the pictures are somewhat standard ...specifically colors of things, like internal organs. For some reason arteries (carrying oxygen filled blood) are always RED, and veins (carrying blood filled with carbon dioxide) are always BLUE. For example, take a look at this diagram of the heart and lungs...

So...in honor of your circulatory system, use this sketch ...

and the colors red and blue or any shades of them. You may also use as many neutrals as you like.
