Color Inspiration #7 Round-up
Hi all!
My fingertips and hands hurt and I'm developing bruises on my feet. Why, you ask? Because I put together my bed all by myself tonight. I was growing impatient waiting for my super-busy brother to come help me, so I dug in and did it myself.
Sigh. My legs hurt.
Do any of you know how hard it is to put together a four-poster bed all by yourself? Well, I do. And let me tell ya, it takes 2 hours. Yes, TWO HOURS! But I'll be sleepin' pretty tonight. And if the bed falls apart--forget it! I'm sleeping on the floor.
Long story short, after two trips to Lowes (Worker: "You again? The screws didn't work?" Me: "Nope! I need the longer ones") and crawling around on my bedroom floor while I listen to audio from the ENTIRE Center Stage
movie, I didn't have a chance to make a card for the CI Challenge this week.
But that's okay because there are SO many awesome ones this week to pick from, right?! Behold, my top ten picks and the randomly selected:

WOW Kristina, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be in your Top 10! Thank you, I feel so honoured!!
I have been trying to explain it to my husband ;-).
Have I said how happy I am?
All the best,
Sam.
PS. Well done on the bed assembly.
That is too funny about Lowes. I can't imagine putting together a 4-poster bed. Hope all the loose ends of things are coming together of "putting the place in order".
Thanks for the late night shift in putting the Round Up together.
Kristina I absolutely LOVE the cards you picked this week! The girls sure did some beautiful work. The comptition is getting tough LOL! Nice job and congrats to all!
Thank you so much for featuring me...even though it was randomly selected I feel honoured...good work on the bed I had a hard time just doing a normal queen on my own let alone a 4 poster, at least now you can rest your legs and eyes in comfort.
Haha, I (heart) that movie, too.
Wow, so many gorgeous cards here. Thanks Kristina!!
Your bed is GINORMOUS! Seriously, you have to take a picture so everyone can truly appreciate and understand how hard is was for you to put it together by yourself! I still can't believe you did it! Good for you!
Congrats on getting your bed put together! another skill learned! hope you had a great night's sleep on it as your reward!
love the cards here - it's fun to check out all the blogs of those chosen!
can't wait to see your next inspiration challenge!

Oh what a beautiful day -- thanks for the honor of being picked (even if random) -- my first color challenge (uh oh does that mean I hooked?)-- well off to the races -- thanks again!
Kristina-
The work that others turned in to you was amazing. With regard to you not doing your own CI, people get busy and have stuff to do. No big deal! I also think , "better late than never". Perhaps I am just spouting my own selfish thoughts. I really enjoy your work!

Woohoo!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you once again! I made it. So very very happy. And the other ones are all so very beautiful. I am proud to be in that group.
I hope you slept well in your new bed.

Last Summer {07} I visited my mom and she was given an IKEA bed without any instructions {that's like trying to put a watermelon through a straw}. It took me 3 hours and multiple choice words before I finally put it together. Needless to say, it was an experience the floor will not forget {I was lying down, crawling on my hand and knees, etc}. LOL... I feel for you {hugs} Marilyn
Kristina - Thank you so much for your round ups!!!! I can't believe how popular your challenge has gotten is so short of time!!!
Also - I want to let you know that since I consider myself to be one of your biggest fans, I have nominated you for the Arte Y Pico award, which I'm sure you've been nominated for a bazillion times!
So - if you choose to accept and display the Arte, feel free to visit my blog to view the instructions.
