Color Inspiration #53
Happy weekend, all! We’re continuing with reader-submitted photos, and this week the photo is from Anthonette Chavez. Isn’t this little guy so cute?! I took the bright colors from the little toy he’s holding. :)
So the colors this week are black, red (like a true, real red), pacific blue, sun yellow, and white. Have fun!
I just wanted to thank you all for participating each week. I’m so overwhelmed and humbled that so many of you would find this little color challenge helpful. And please do continue to submit your cards and pages and other creations. I love seeing them.

Love this combo and that cute patootie.
But ack! I accidentally put the wrong link…please delete Kristina and I will repost later. Thanks! :)
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:53 pmThis was fun to do despite my lack of correct colours! Doing your challenges has motivated me to put all my paper craft projects on their own blog, rather than hijacking my mommy life blog! I’m at 30+ posts already!
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:47 pmSuch great colours!! And yes that little boy is sooo cute!!!
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:30 pmAlways a pleasure Kristina, enjoy your weekend!!
Smiles Sharnee :0)
Fantastic colours. I always look forward to see what you are going to pick.
May 23rd, 2009 at 9:43 pmYeah, for the first time I had time to play with this challenge … Love the colors. Thanks Kristina, for being such an awesome inspiration.
May 23rd, 2009 at 10:12 pmThe truth, I don´t like this colors, I have a big problem with this kind of colors (bright primary colors) I just don´t know how to work with them that´s why I never use them, this time was a huge challenge for me.
May 24th, 2009 at 3:56 amGreat colors for this weekend! Thanks so much for doing this every week!
May 24th, 2009 at 10:13 amOnce again, colours I would never put together on my own, but I LOVE them! Thanks so much for doing this week after week!
May 24th, 2009 at 1:33 pmWow, this is really a challenge for me this week. I’ve been putzing around on and off all day on this card and it’s just not coming together. I don’t know why but I’m really having a difficult time with this one. There’s a lot of great entries already though. I’m very impressed.
May 24th, 2009 at 8:57 pmLinda Beeson just pointed out your blog today to us. I am sure that the Core’dinations design team will be frequent visitors. Thanks for the great inspiration!
May 24th, 2009 at 9:06 pmI love this combination very much, is bright and shine!!!
thanks for the opportunity!!
Hugs,
May 24th, 2009 at 9:30 pmGreat colour combo. I revamped a layout I started about 4 years ago and it’s now finished!!
May 24th, 2009 at 10:41 pmThanks for doing these challenges! This was the first one I participated in and it was so much fun!
May 25th, 2009 at 10:55 amI’ve really enjoyed this challenge – I was a bit worried by the colours, but have loved how bright and fun the finished card looks!
May 25th, 2009 at 1:23 pmThanks Kristina, enjoy the holiday, Jo x
Thanks Krisitna, enjoyed this challenge. I feel motivated to give it another try – we’ll see whether I have the time. Cute little man and little robot!
May 25th, 2009 at 3:18 pmThanks for the challenge! I really had fun with the colors. I thought they were perfect for a Memorial Day/4th of July card.
May 25th, 2009 at 11:01 pmthese were hard…where or where di Mr Linky go?
May 26th, 2009 at 6:43 amCute photo for the color swatch! Just stopped by to see the submissions for this week’s challenge, but I don’t see Mr. Linky!
(Thanks for the color inspiration challenges. I’m sure it’s a time consuming process. I really appreciate being able to stop by your blog when you’ve posted your faves. Always a bright spot in my day!)
May 26th, 2009 at 7:18 amWould like to submit my challenge . . .Is Mr. Linky down?!?!?
May 26th, 2009 at 8:16 amI’m not a fan of the bright primary colors, so it will be interesting to see what I come up with. It will be interesting to see what others come up with too.
May 26th, 2009 at 8:22 amMr. Limky is MIA…hope he comes back soon so I can post my submission.
May 26th, 2009 at 9:14 amLooks like I’m not the only one who can’t find Mr. Linky. Here’s my card:

Is Mr. Linky down? I can’t find it!
May 26th, 2009 at 10:39 amAfter reading Mr. Linky’s blog entry this morning, I thought I’d better link my card in a comment as well. Interesting color combo, Kristina!

May 26th, 2009 at 11:12 amI’m not sure what’s going on but I submitted my link earlier, it was there, and now it’s missing. I tried doing it again but it’s not working… it acts like it’s submitting but it’s not there.
Here’s mine:

This one almost killed me….lol.
The printer also exploded ink all over my photos and I put them down on my page before i noticed the mess….

Mr. Linky SEEMS to be working fine, but I’m following the crowd and going with the flow.
THank you for the challenge, it really did stretch me creatively.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:53 pmHope my link works. Love pacific blue!

This inspiration was exactly what I needed to finish designing my husband’s birthday invitation. I was stuck colors and then voila! I see this post and my problems are solved! Thanks for inspiring all of us :)

May 27th, 2009 at 8:12 pmHello, Kristina! Now I see the chaos! My name keeps popping off the list, so just in case, I’m going to try (I’m technically challenged to begin with!) to leave a link to my offering for your fun color challenge:

May 27th, 2009 at 8:36 pmAnthonette told me to put my link in the comments even though I’m a bit late in posting… these colors were a challenge!

Hey, I read yesterday that the challenge was extended to the 29th so I did it last night… :(
http://deespapertree.blogspot.com/2009/05/kwerner-color-inspiration-53.html
It said “deadline unknown” yesterday until I knew that Mr. Linky was working correctly again. Once I knew it wouldn’t bomb out again, I went back to the original deadline of last night. Sorry about the confusion. :)
I missed out on the challenge because I thought I had another day to procrastinate :). I guess not!
