colourQ challenge #89...

It's another colourQ Tuesday - YAY!!! Let me start by saying last week's entries (again) were ridiculously AWESOME!!! It's so exciting to see ladies that were 'timidly' playing every once in a while, really stepping up their game week after week now! And can you believe we're almost at 100 posts? Only 11 more to go!

This coming weekend is Father's Day in the US... so I thought it appropriate to get dad a swell tie, and bring out some guy colors! Of course you don't HAVE to make a guy card, it's up to you! My inspiration this week came from my "(browser) window shopping" at Saks and finding this Ermengildo Zegna Striped Silk Tie... a bargain at $185 - LOL! (that'd pay a couple small bills for me!) I loved the colors, though!

Here's my sample:

And from our ingenious colourQ Royal Court:

Suzanne

Sylvia

Yapha

Anita

Christina

Kasia

LeAnne

Renée

Let's get inky, and glue~y, and maybe even glitter~y!!!

ENTRY DEADLINE is SUNDAY, June 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 ***

Hope you can play!!!

PS - We're on Facebook!

colourQ challenge #88 ~ Winner Crowned...

Please help me congratulate this week's colourQueen, Suzanne C!!! We loved her rootin' tootin' tag!!! YEEHAWWW!

Good morning! I'm late today, obviously, but I'll explain that a little later. I'm trying a new format, because colourQ is now on Facebook! So when the colourQueen is posted, their card will be the pic to accompany the link! How cool is that?

Our colors from last week:

And here are the gorgeous creations from this week's colourQ Courtiers!

Thank you all so much for playing along, we LOVED all the entries, and as usual we are all partially bald since we were pulling our hair out trying to decide on winners! As always you can click on any of the pics above to go visit the artist's blogs!

On a more serious note, some of the members of our team have had some sad as well as tragic news this past week. I won't divulge theirs, but a friend of mine has a 12 year old that was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer last Friday and was only given 2 weeks, as it has already spread quickly. Apparently his ADHD medicine masked most of the important symptoms. Please pray for Brendan Franco, and for his family. And also a prayer for the families of our DT members.

I realize that all of you reading this may not be Christians, or may not have a belief system in place. Please understand that I'm not posting this to offend, but as a Christian and believer in Christ, I pray and ask for prayer when needed. In the same token, anything you ever read on this blog is written by me, and doesn't reflect anyone else's beliefs or opinions that is associated with the colourQ.

Thank you for your time, understanding and prayers, if you're so inclined.

AND thank you for being a part of such a fun group of colourQ crazed ladies!

Love and hugs! I'll be back in a few with this week's challenge!

colourQ challenge #88...

Good morning and welcome to a new challenge here at the colourQ! Thank you to all you sweet and talented ladies who played last week, we really loved your creations!

This week's inspiration comes from this Alfani Printed Pencil Skirt from Macy's... are't these colors divine? I though with Father's day around the corner, they'd be perfect for either a masculine OR feminine card... what do you think?

Here's my sample...

And here's the gorgeous work of our colourQ Royal Court...
