colourQ challenge #26 ~ Winner Crowned...

Thank you SO MUCH for joining me this past week, along with the awesome Royal Court DT, in celebrating our first six months of challenges!!! The entries were amazing ~ and the DT now knows just how hard voting on winners is - lol!

Our winner colourQueen this week is.... CHRISTA!!!

And these here are some of the fabulous entries that caught the Royal Court's eye...

You can click on any of the thumbnails to visit their blogs! Please go leave them a lovely word or two... and A BIG CONGRATS to this week's colourQueen, Christa! She's earned her colourQeen badge & will be asked to be a guest designer for a future challenge!

Each week one of the 'chores' of the new DT is to vote on their 3 favorite entries. That's why we've changed our deadline to 12 noon on Sundays. We had some beautiful entries come in after the deadline, I hate that they didn't make it into InLinkz! You can see them in the comments section of the challenge post.

Back in a bit with this week's challenge!

RUNNING BEHIND...

I still have a sick kiddo at home (pollen/virus? who knows...) so I'm running late!

I must say, though, the oh-so-talented Royal Court DT has amazing samples for you today, so while you wait, go click on their names over at the right & take yourself on a mini blog hop! Not only will you get a sneek peek, you'll also get your crafty mojo going... then meet me back here at 9:30 CST for last week's winner & this week's new challenge...

Some of you may even have your entry for this week completed by then...

colourQ challenge #26...

So we've arrived! Week number 26... half a year! Is that CRAZY or what? Has anyone played along every week so far? I'll have to check on that... Today's inspiration comes from a cutie-patootie pair of booties found over at funkyshapes on Etsy. Maisie is too little for me to start spending $25 on booties for her... but they're still darling!!!

Not only do you have my take on the colors today, but also those of the inaugural colourQ Royal Court Design Team! You'll find their beautiful photos to the right, as well as links to their oh-so-awesome blogs! I was very anxious asking these talented ladies to join me each week - I mean, what if they said no?!? Luckily that didn't happen, so please go visit them & show them some love... not only are they super talented, they are also some of the nicest folks you'll find on the web & they've been so supportive of these challenges over the last 6 months! Thank you ladies!

Here's mine...

All the details:

ENTRY DEADLINE is Sunday, April 4th at 12 noon CST, to be considered for colourQueen! Otherwise you can play along anytime!
PLEASE focus on the challenge colors for your project!
Using InLinkz, please 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?***


Hope you get to play along this week!!!
