colourQ challenge #63...

Woohoo - we're getting closer!!! I'm late this morning because Alex had his first ever Christmas Pageant - that's right! My baby was the only kiddo up there with a pacifier in his mouth!!! But the good news is he sat still, didn't harm anyone or himself (lol) or make a spectacle of himself in any other way shape or form! That's amazing for an active 2 1/2 year old!

We have some fantastic colors for you today, inspired by these super cutesie 'Comfort & Joy' cocktail napkins from World Market!

I seem to be on a tag making tear these days, which is awesome since I can use up the hoards of scrap papers that I so carefully pack~rat away... so here's another one:

We have another DT member starting next week, Suzanne Bier! Suzanne is a terrific artist and former colourQueen and colourQ Courtier many times over... please help me welcome her!

Here are the gorgeous projects from our Royal Court...

Time to get crackin'!

ENTRY DEADLINE is Sunday, December 19th 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!

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 ***


Thank you all so much & hope you can play along!!!

colourQ challenge #62 ~ Winner Crowned...

You gals know I love you all bunches, right? Week after week you brighten my every day with your awesome craftiness, and I want you to know that your loyalty to the colourQ challenges does not go unnoticed!

We had beautiful creations to vote on, and you probably think it's easy to choose, but trust me when I say that I agonize over it~ and I think the rest of the team does too! Please help me congratulate the artist of this super sweet little tag that won our hearts, our colourQueen is...

Jinny Newlin!!!

And here are the gorgeous creations by this week's colourQ Courtiers~~~

Thank you all so much, this is probably my favorite card making time of year and I got so many terrific ideas from each of you this week, not just those pictured here! You can click on the thumbnails above to see each project a little better & I hope you will!

See you around 9ish in the morning for next week's challenge!!!

Nighty~night!

colourQ challenge #62...

Good morning! Hope you are all getting your Christmas~y things done... wish I was - lol! I did manage to make cherry and lime Jello jigglers for Alex's preschool class this morning - YAY, one 'good mommy point'! Our inspiration comes this SUPER CUTE jingle bell ring over at Perpetual Kid... so many neat things!

Here's a little quick tag I made with the colors... I'm still working on a scrap page (please see the scrap DT call over on the top right), so until then...

Here's my LO based on these colors...

Another bit of news.... we decided we love Christina so much that we forced her to stay on permanently! As you may remember her guest DT term was to end after Christmas! So WELCOME TO CHRISTINA as our newest Royal Court Designer!!!
