colourQ challenge #130...

Good morning!!! Happy colourQ Tuesday!!! So who is ready for some bright colors?!? We had an awesome week last week - the gallery is just busting at the seams with talent, THANK YOU ALL for playing along!

We are a little sad today, Lori has stepped down from colourQ to devote more time to her family and other endeavors. We have loved sharing her work with you and I hope you'll take a minute to go give her a little cyber hug! Thank you Lori for devoting your time to colourQ ~ we love you!

Our inspiration today comes from this super cool tutorial for this Fabric Easter Basket over at the Moda Bakeshop! This is such a beautiful project! (If anyone dares to make it, with these colors of course, you will be featured on our sidebar for a whole year!)

Here's my take on the colors (I also used this week's RetroSketch)...

And from our amazingly awesome Royal Court...

ENTRY DEADLINE is SUNDAY, April 1st 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 can play this week!!!

 

colourQ challenge #129 ~ Winner Crowned...

It was another fine week at the colourQ - all your entries were amazing! I really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing them up close! I have lots of new tricks filed away! THANK YOU ALL not only for playing but also for the wonderful inspiration you gave me!

The voting was close again this week - I know I always say that, only because it's ALWAYS true! Please help me give a HUGE CONGRATS to this week's colourQueen....

Deanna Jean!!!

And a BIG CONGRATS to this week's amazing colourQ Courtiers....

  

  

  

  

As always, you can click on the links to go see their cards more closely - and I encourage you to do that, they are really awesome!!!

I can honestly say, there are so many beautiful cards each week, if I could feature everyone here who deserved to "win" or be a "courtier" - you would ALL see your cards up here. You are all amazing crafters and it is such an honor and pleasure to see your work using the palette that I put together.

I hope to see you back here in the morning for more fun - think "Easter!"

Good morning & happy Tuesday! Thank you all so much for playing with us last week - if you haven't seen the winners and the gallery - you should! It's awesome! While perusing the web for amazing color, I came across this Grams pillow at CB2 - isn't it perfect for St. Patrick's Day?!?
