colourQ challenge #122...

Good morning!!! First off let me say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We had 70 gorgeous projects linked up last week and they were ALL amazing!!! Our inspiration today comes from these cute Valentine napkin rings from Picket Fence Crafts. Love these colors!

Here's my sample...

I have some exciting news, too! Here's a gal that has played with almost half of the colourQ challenges... and I have LOVED every single card she's ever entered!

Jen

Jen serves on the Freshly Made Sketches DT, and has been a guest designer all over blogland! She hails from Massachusetts and is also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Pop over to her blog, I Create & see more of her gorgeous work! Here's her debut card as a Royal Court DT member... FABULOUS!

Time to get your HUG~Y colors out!!!

ENTRY DEADLINE is SUNDAY, February 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 use the palette provided for your project! 

You'll notice that a few of our designers use colors similar to the SU! colors listed in the palettes - just try to keep it close!

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 ***

Hope you get to play along~
