colourQ challenge #262...

Happy Tuesday & Happy 5th Anniversary to colourQ!!! I can't believe it... FIVE years! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for making it a fabulous five years!!!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness this month, our inspiration today comes from this Swirl Rhinestone Tee from ShopKomen.com. How gorgeous & for a great cause, too!

It is with a very sad heart that we say goodbye to LeAnne, who's "retiring" after FOUR and a half years as a Royal Court member. I absolutely love LeAnne, she's funny and smart and just a delightful person, all around. She is also one of the most amazing crafters I know! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart for sharing yourself with us each week, I am totally going to miss you!!!

And from the rest of the Royal Court...

Ready to get inky?!?

ENTRY DEADLINE is MONDAY, October 13th at 12 midnight CST, to be considered for colourQueen! You must be linked before the deadline to be in the running for colourQueen, but if you miss it, you are welcome to leave your link in the comments!

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 this week!!!

colourQ challenge #251...

Hey there ~ ready for some fun new colors? Thanks so much to everyone who played last week! I can't wait to see what you do with these colors!

Sadly, we are saying goodbye to Anita today! Anita is such a brilliant scrapper, and a wonderful lady, I am really going to miss her! I know what goes into a layout, and your contributions to the challenge have been amazing! Thank you for your gorgeous creations! 

Our palette today was inspired by this fabulous Gold & Pink Tribal Cuff Bracelet from World Market! How fun is that?!? Here's my sample... (oh yes ~ I threw in some gold, and yes - you can, too!)

And from our splendidly craft~y Royal Court....

colourQ challenge #239...

Hello!  Happy Tuesday!!! We've been sitting under the threat of bad weather all day, the schools did not open and even my beloved YMCA was closed... and just NOW it is starting to thunder and rain. The kids are stir crazy and bouncing off the walls - it's so hard to keep them quiet while Jeff sleeps. CALGON - I need you! A great BIG THANK YOU to everyone who played along with us last week ~ the entries were as amazing as usual!!!

Our inspiration this week is this fabulous Belize the Day Dress by ModCloth. OH-MY-WORD, how I love this dress!!! (Apparently LeAnne wants 3!)

Here is some phenomenal inspiration from our awesome Royal Court...

Any thanks so much to everyone who played along! ( Amy, if I have your blog address wrong, please send me an email!)
