colourQ challenge #68...

Around the first of the year, like EVERY new year, people start fretting over their 'resolutions'. I have to say, I might fret over them myself if I thought I could KEEP them - lol! Anywho - something I ran across were these plates that give you visual cues regarding portion size... Slimware! Apparently even a few stars including Jenny Garth and Faith Hill are eating off these plates.... if it works for them, maybe I should eat everything off these plates ~ heehee!

Here's my take on this week's challenge...

And from the tremendously talented Royal Court Design Team....

Now make good on your resolution to play with us this week!!!

ENTRY DEADLINE is SUNDAY, January 23rd 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 ***

Have an awesome week!

colourQ challenge #67 ~ Winner Crowned...

Whew, what a gorgeous gallery you helped create this last week! It was beyond impossible to narrow the voting down! We saw LOTS of butterflies and flowers, some cute baby cards and beautifully colored images... YAY!

Please help me congratulate this week's colourQueen - her card was SEW FUN!!!

Erica Cerwin!!!

And here's some of our favorites... there were more, but it'd be silly to re-post the whole gallery - lol! This week's colourQ Courtiers...

Please click on any of the images above to visit the artist! Ladies, you are most welcome to grab your badge over at the right!

Thank you again for taking the time to play along with us and share your fabulous talents! We enjoy benefiting from your inspiration each week!

See you tomorrow for more fun!

colourQ challenge #67...

Oh, do we have some good stuff for you today!!! But first let me thank everyone again for the gorgeous entries last week ~ they were incredible! This week's colors are in honor of my sweet Maisie Grace, her first birthday is on Friday! I can't believe it! I managed to have her in between 2 colourQ posts & didn't miss a beat - lol! What a crazy year it's been!

Yes, back to the colors... I was window shopping on Etsy and ran across this super cute birthday outfit - Birthday Tweetie Bloomers from BellaClaireBaby and darling tutu from Hannah's Tutus (which is now sold, but not to me!).

Here's my sample for you...

I am very pleased to announce that in my utter inability to choose amongst the amazing scrap entries, I decided to take them ALL! WOOHOO!!! As you know, digi scrapping has become very dear to me and I really wanted to show that these color combos can transcend the "arts", you don't have to do a card, even though I know they are usually the quickest and easiest! Sorta like Rachel's project last week, that cute carrier!

Anywho, our scrap team is actually two teams. Each team will be working on 2 layouts per month, alternating weeks, since those take a little more time! They were contacted over the weekend and told they didn't have to start until next week, but two of them couldn't wait to strut their stuff - LOL! I hope you'll welcome all the new members of the Royal Court, their pictures are above with links to their sites!

And here are the EVER~INSPIRING samples from the Royal Court, two of our newest first...
