Color Inspiration 42

Hello all!

Sorry about not getting a new Make a Card Monday up yesterday. Unfortunately, switching over to Wordpress took longer than I thought. And I still have some kinks to work out, but for the most part, we’re up and running again.

BTW, be sure to go over to gravatar.com to get an avatar assigned to your email address. That way, when you post a comment, there will be a cute little photo of you next your comment. Right now, if you don’t have a gravatar, it shows a generic “shadow person.” :)

Anyhow, this week’s Color Inspiration Challenge is from the same shop as last week’s. This time, it’s a photo of a hat. Isn’t that hat adorable! I love it. :)

—————————

Join us: Make a card/scrapbook page/whatever in the colors above. Color Inspiration virgins, please read the Color Inspiration FAQ first.

Deadline: Saturday, February 21 at 7:00 pm MT. You will know when the deadline has past because you will not able to submit a new link through the Mister Linky box. Grab this week’s swatch-only image.

This is a great colour challenge. I thought of fall time when I saw the colours, so my card ended up looking that way!

Randee Elsing February 18, 2009 at 11:17 pm

Color Challenge virgin here. It was fun and wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. Thanks for the continuing inspiration!

MaryD February 19, 2009 at 2:39 am

Hi Kristina. I am posting and testing to see if my pic posts with my comment. Maybe someday I will be organized enuf to be inspired to enter a challenge. Thanks for sharing your creative mind with us.

CarrollAnn (MrsBoz) February 19, 2009 at 3:24 am

I used this great Color Challenge along with the Sketch on SCS to make my card. It’s on my blog here: http://mrsboz.blogspot.com/2009/02/bloom-sc216-color-inspiration-42.html I also uploaded it to the SCS Gallery. Sorry I don’t have a pic of myself to create an avatar, but I will soon! Thanks for the great challenge!!!

Amy Fleming February 19, 2009 at 3:57 am

Sylvia Nelson February 19, 2009 at 4:39 am

Kristina,
The colors were more of a challenge this week, but I think I got it right! It’s good to have harder groups of colors, it really keeps the brain working. Your blog is looking great , hope your are having fun!

Rakefet February 19, 2009 at 8:42 am

Let’s see if the avatar works for me……

Kelly Landers February 19, 2009 at 10:42 am

Thanks for the great challenge! I posted my link using Mr Linky! I hope I did it correctly. I tried to view the FAQ’s but the link didn’t appear to be working!

Have a great day!

TeresaW February 19, 2009 at 12:06 pm

I’ve done the gravatar thingie, and found your linky again. Now I’m going to comment to make sure that the gravatar has worked.

Renee D. February 19, 2009 at 1:48 pm

GReat color combo!

Laura B. February 19, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Whew, that really was a challenge for me. Rust was tough, although I am a color challenge virgin. Looking forward to more stuff on etsy from you, too!

Ilse V. February 19, 2009 at 9:42 pm

Thank you for the colours!
Greetings, Ilse

Diane February 19, 2009 at 10:47 pm

Hi Kristine can you please delete my first entry number 101 as it links to my new post part of my blog and I didnt know how to fix it all the best for your new future

Ruby 2 Shoes February 20, 2009 at 2:29 am

Great colours, I will put something together. I have set up my gravatar so hopefully it will work now :o) It seems like you’ve made some tough decisions lately, but ones that are right for you. Really looking forward to seeing all your new creations as your life takes a new direction x

Wonderful challenge this week Kristina! Have a wonderful weekend!

Diana Ball-Seitz February 21, 2009 at 2:22 pm

I did not enter my link? Mister Linky just took my info…hope this worked…new look is great. Diana

Lisa (sideoats + scribbles) February 21, 2009 at 2:50 pm

Hi Kristina! This color combo was really a challenge for me — until I started cleaning my messy desk and found some inspiration with a squirrel stamp. Then it all came together super quick! Love your new look, especially the banner — yum-o! :)

Gigi February 21, 2009 at 3:09 pm

First time to play; wonder what took me so long? :-D

Tracy February 21, 2009 at 4:56 pm

I posted mine – it has been a while since I could play — had to substitute an orangey color for the rust!
Thanks for hosting these!

Diana Ball-Seitz February 21, 2009 at 8:31 pm

I wonder if the high number of errors had anything to do with auto-fill in Mr. Linky. I did not enter anything, and it remembered the last link I had put it…just a thought…you might see if you can test it too?

Janet February 22, 2009 at 11:49 am

such fun colours!! love your new blog look:)
hugs

Yvonne February 22, 2009 at 7:12 pm

Brenda February 25, 2009 at 2:49 pm

Love the new digs! Now let’s see if I did that gravatar thingy right…

Ellen Woodbridge February 25, 2009 at 11:26 pm
