Time for Therapy...RESQ66

...Color Therapy that is!

Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is often facilitated in the healing rooms of alternative health practitioners. Color therapy is classified as a vibrational healing modality. Vibrational medicine incorporates the use of chi energies within living organisms such as plants, gemstones and crystals, water, sunlight, and sound.

Color is simply a form of visible light, of electromagnetic energy. All the primary colors reflected in the rainbow carry their own unique healing properties. The sun alone is a wonderful healer! Just imagine what life would be like without sunshine. It has been proven that lack of sunlight contributes to depression for some people.

At this time of the year, we need a little more color in our lives, as well as sunshine!

For this challenge, give yourself some color therapy and make a card with bright bold colors!

Hope you will join me!

I Miss you!

Break time...

Since there were only 2 participants for this contest I will send a gift certificate to both of them .... you for playing!

I will be taking a break from RESQ Challenge for the rest of the month. I need to regroup and come up with some new challenge ideas. Any ideas are welcome of course.... Thanks to all who have supported me this past year here on RESQ...Happy Halloween!

Scrubs are COOL! RESQ65

* CONTEST details at the bottom of post!*

This challenge and Contest will be up until 10/15.

The winner will be posted on October 18th.

My Mom has been a nurse for almost 40 years! She graduated Lenox Hill Nursing School in Manhattan and wore an all white uniform skirt with white stockings, heels and a small white hat! Today most nurses wear scrubs and they come in a WIDE array of styles, colors and prints.

Also, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month...make sure to schedule a mammogram, do a self-exam, or say a prayer for everyone battling this horrible disease.

Today's challenge is an inspiration challenge...I found so many cool scrubs in the online catalog, Scrubs and Beyond... I love this Breast Cancer Awareness one...

Use this scrub top as your inspiration...use the colors, prints, pattern, whatever! Just have fun!

Here is my sample:

The next challenge will be posted on October 22nd so I can have a bit of a break...having a crazy month!

I'll try again Friday...

OK I guess no one wanted to play with Bleach this week...me either! I'll be back on Friday with a new challenge for the new month!

Hospital Clean RESQ64

Hospitals are clean, right? Of course they are! There are so many old sayings about being "hospital clean." I used to joke that my Mom cleaned my house like it was a hospital...she used bleach for everything!

So for this week's challenge, use bleach on your card! There are many tutorials for using bleach but here are few I found on SCS...

stamping with bleach

bleached out images

alchohol ink faux bleach

color wash faux bleach

foxi oxi

**Depending on what brand of cardstock you use you will get different results! For example I used Papertrey Ink New Leaf and the bleached imaged showed as a bright yellow! On SU Garden Green it showed up a lighter shade of green.**
