colourQ challenge #173...

Good evening! Sorry that it's evening already... I have tried a couple times to get this up & it kept timing out. (I've been having some computer/internet issues this afternoon...) Of course you know you can always check out the ladies blogs to see the new colors each week, if I happen to be lagging!

WOW - there were so many FABULOUS entries last week - you gals worked miracles with those colors! All the entries were so different, it's a gorgeous gallery!

Today's colors are based on this yummy Paisley Twirl Skirt from Sundance. I would love to be able to spend $158 on a skirt.... who am I kidding, I'd rather buy a $20 skirt and spend the $138 left over on craft supplies!

Here's my sample...

And from the ever inspiring Royal Court...

Just a little note, our sweet Deanna will be popping in and out as time allows over the coming months... she has some major things going on like a wedding to plan (WOOHOO!), etc... so this isn't "goodbye", but rather "we'll enjoy your crafty~ness when we can"!

Who's ready to get crafty?!?

The ENTRY DEADLINE is MONDAY, January 28th at 12 midnight CST, to be considered for colourQueen! You must be linked before the deadline to be in the running for colourQueen!

PLEASE use one of the palettes 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 ***

I really hope you get a chance to play this week!

colourQ challenge #37...

Happy happy Tuesday! Your brilliant entries just keeping getting better & better, which just makes it that much harder to vote each week - lol! Today's colors are from www.katagolda.com, a scrumptious little felt covered photo binder called 'anemone' (it's on page 4). I WANT ONE!!!

Sorry about the lateness... it's taken me most of the morning to recover from bible school last night - I'm in charge of music plus I had 10 children ages 2&3 in my class... including my little bull-in-a-china-shop, Alex! Calgon, take me away.... It was fun, but challenging, 1 down & 4 nights to go!

Here's my sample for today's challenge... I used the Mission 4 Macie digi... she's SO CUTE & versatile!

And here are the super fabulous (as always) samples from our Royal Court DT:

Now it's your turn!

ENTRY DEADLINE is Sunday, June 20th 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!

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.

Sure can't wait to see your stuff!

colourQ challenge #24...

Well, for those of you who thought last week's colors were difficult, you probably want to smack me for this week's challenge... *note the word challenge*. When I saw this cool Bric-a-Brac bracelet at Sundance, not only did I love the colors, they just screamed EASTER to me... so feel free to make an Easter card, I did!

Okay - start stamping/embossing/cutting - make anything you like! Using Mister Linky below, please add your name & the direct link to your creation! Any mis-linked projects are subject to deletion, but I will try to contact you if I have to delete it, so that you can try again! If Mr. Linky is having trouble... you can leave a link in a comment, as well! Please have your project uploaded no later Sunday, March 21st at 11: 59 pm Central, if you wish to be considered for the colourQueen of the week. The weekly colourQueen will be announced late evening on Monday, 3/22/2010. PLEASE have FUN, but also try to use colors as close to these as your focal point!

Can't wait to see everyone's creations!

colourQ challenge #21...

Oky-doky ~ the kids are finally napping, sorry I'm late ladies! At least it gave you time to see all the awesome entries from last week! Today's super fab colors are from a cool puzzle I found at Blueberry Forest Toys! I know you may think they're a bit wonky, but hey - it's a challenge! Here's my take, more info will be posted to my blog later...


We'll have new guest designers back next week, so for this week the first 3 to upload will be our Wild Card Guest Designers, whose cards will be featured here later.

Let's see what you've got this week! Using Mr. Linky below, link your creation using your name and the direct link! If Mr. Linky is AWOL, please leave a comment with your link & I'll add it later. Any mis-linked submissions are subject to deletion, but I'll try to fix it if I can. To be considered for the weekly colourQueen, please have your link in before midnight on February 28th, 2010. I'll make3 my pick hopefully by 3/1/10 & post the results!

Have fun & I can't wait to see what you comne up with!

colourQ challenge #3

Welcome to week #3 of the colourQ challenge! We had so many talented crafters join us last week, it was a blast! This week's colors are found at Traditions.com, and are based on the Halloween folk art of Lori Mitchell! Aren't these figurines cute? (I know some of you may not "do" Halloween... that's perfectly okay - the colors are just for inspiration & you can use whatever images you like!)

This is what I came up with, you can find more information on my blog about it by clicking on the picture.

Using Mister Linkey below, please add your name & the direct link to your image! Any mis-linked creations are subject to deletion, but I will try to contact you if I have to delete it, so that you can try again! Please have your project uploaded no later Sunday, October 25th at 11: 59 pm Central, if you wish to be considered for the colourQueen of the week. I'll make my pick sometime on 10/26/09, and post the winner who'll be able to display colourQ's colourQueen badge, and also be a future guest designer!

I hope you find this week's colourQ colors inspiring & you'll get a chance to play along!
