colourQ challenge #29...

Happy Tuesday!!! Today's inspiration comes from Macy's... this super cool dinnerware from Laurie Gates - I think I'd rather hang it on my wall instead of eat off it - just scrumptious! Now I'm sure you're thinking I'm crazy & these colors look hard... but it IS a challenge, after all!

Here is my take on this week's colors:

And here are the super fab creations of our Royal Court DT:

Renée

Samantha

Tanja

Kari

Krystal

LeAnne

Now it's time for you to strut your stuff!!!


ENTRY DEADLINE is Sunday, April 25th at 12 noon CST, to be considered for colourQueen & able to link up with InLinkz! Otherwise you can play along anytime by adding your link to a coment!

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. 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***


Thanks for stopping in & I hope you'll play along with us this week!!

colourQ challenge #16...

Here's my take on this week's challenge... aren't these colors YUMMY!?! This week's inspiration comes from artist Susan Sheehan, at Artfire.com. These are handmade lampwork beads, aren't they gorgeous? More info on my card can be found at my blog!

We have 2 very talented guest designers today, Renee & Manda! Thanks so much to these ladies for making such gorgeous samples for you today... clearly you can see how the're excellent skills earned them their places as former colourQueens!

Please have your project uploaded no later Sunday, January 24th at 11: 59 pm Central, if you wish to be considered for the colourQueen of the week. You can play along anytime, however!

colourQ challenge #8...

Thanksgiving arrived all to fast this year! I'm looking forward to Christmas and found this beautiful stocking made with Figgy Pudding fabric by HaydenJ... I think these colors are so brilliant and perfect for the holidays! For you paper junkies, the fabric is based on Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding. I don't own any, so I improvised using SU! colors for my creation below! If you'd like a little more info on my card you can click the image below...

Tanja and Imke were kind enough to be our guest designers this week... aren't their cards beautiful? Tanja's crafty creation features some flocking I think, and Imke used some great embellishments!!! Hopefully they'll be posting their cards to their blogs for you to enjoy and find out more about. Thanks so much ladies for sharing your enchanted takes on today's colors!

colourQ challenge #2

Welcome to colourQ's challenge #2! Kinda crazy combo, I know, but these colors come from fall scarves by bizzybcreations on etsy! Here in southern Alabama, I'm afraid I'm still a ways away from needing a scarf, but seeing them really makes me wish I did...
