colourQ challenge #61...

HAPPY TUESDAY!!! I was insoired this week by this cool Jewel Poinsettia Peacock Napkin Ring from Z Gallerie... a must have for any holiday table this year - lol! I thought the colors were just amazing!

I love Christmas cards with non-traditional colors, so I couldn't resist.... here's my take:

And from the awesome minds and hands of our Royal Court, joined by LeAnne who took a break from the her 'princess tending' to join in the fun - YAY!:

Ready, set, STAMP!

ENTRY DEADLINE is Sunday, December 5th at 12 noon CST, to be considered for colourQueen! If you miss the deadline but still want to link up, InLinkz will re-open the next day, so you can play with any of the previous colors anytime. You must be linked before the deadline to be in the running for colourQueen, though!

PLEASE focus on the challenge colors for your project!

Please display our palette badge, but at the VERY least, you MUST put a link in your post back to this challenge~ Thank you!

Using InLinkz, link to the actual post/gallery page your project is in, and select the thumbnail image of your project. Any mis-linked entries are subject to deletion, but I'll try to let you know if there's a problem!


*** Just so you know, InLinkz is not fool-proof, some of you may not be able to post the thumbnail of your card... if not, link your profile picture. But if you CAN post the thumbnail of your card, please do! If I have time I will go back & 'fix' the Inlinkz for those of you who cannot get your project thumbnail to post, oky-doky? If I do "fix" it for you, your thumbnail may be moved to a different position on the entry list ***

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

colourQ challenge #60...

Good morning and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Hope you get all the good stuff on Thursday... like turkey, dressing (it's a Southern thing), sweet potato casserole, deviled eggs....YUMMMM!

Running behind this morning, Maisie and I spent most the morning in the doctor's office waiting to find out what I already knew... her cold is turning into an ear infection - poor baby! Our inspiration today comes from this delightful pair of mittens... found on a list of "10 Frugal and Homemade Gift Ideas" on squawkfox.com. I just want to BUY them - I cannot knit!

One sad bit of news... our very dear Kari has stepped down and I'm just so sad to see her and her fabulous work go! Kari, you're just the sweetest gal ever and I hold you in the highest regards. I wish you all the success you deserve and should you ever want to come back, you just let me know!

Here's a very quick little card I made using this week's colors...

And from our lovely Royal Court, whose creativity is magically inspired...

colourQ challenge #59...

Good morning! We have another spectacular palette for your card making enjoyment today! I was inspired by this gorgeous fall wreath from DriedFloralShop.com. Aren't these just the best colors?!?

We are all still sick here, Alex was up most of the night with a 102 fever, but I finally got it reduced. SO - no card from me yet...

Here are the gorgeous creations of our Royal Court... which is really all the inspiration you could ever want or need...
