Color Inspiration #43

Hi everyone! This week’s Color Inspiration Challenge photo comes from some pictures I took this weekend for my friend Paula. She’s a crafty genius and is selling a ton of sewn items in her Etsy shop along with a friend. (She doesn’t have the latest items posted yet, but please go visit her anyway. I have to edit all the photos and then she’s posting the new stuff).

I thought this set of baby bibs had the most adorable colors. Unfortunately, I don’t know who the fabric is by, but I love it anyway.

Anyway, there are the colors for this week. And feel free to throw some white in the mix, too. :)

—————————

Kadee February 27, 2009 at 10:17 am

I am having trouble saving the “swatch only” They way it opened it up on the page only allow me to save it as a web page rather than a jpeg. Any suggestions?

Nikki Stalker February 27, 2009 at 3:24 pm

Here’s my other card.

Nikki

Denise T February 27, 2009 at 3:32 pm

fun challenge. Love the new look of your blog. Have fun scrappin this weekend.

Madeleine February 27, 2009 at 6:02 pm

Does a page count as a web page? The chocolate shades inspired my new web page. I love creating crafts in all manner of ways be it sewing, cooking, cake decorating, scrapbooking, decopage, web design.

Sylvia Nelson February 27, 2009 at 6:57 pm

Welll, You gave us more colors and I gave you two cards. Sorry, this was pieces for one card that became two cards. It was frustrating trying to figure this out, but I think I was just too tired. I am driven, what can I say. Have a fun weekend!

Sarah from the UK February 28, 2009 at 9:46 am

Lovely colours this week!
Excited that the round up is back :)
Thanks for taking the time to check out all our work.

Jan February 28, 2009 at 10:16 pm

Another great combination!

Amy, Ottawa, Canada March 1, 2009 at 6:51 am
