Color Inspiration #18

080608-colorinspiration.jpg

Hi all! I'm back with another challenge, this from cb2.com. Thanks for all of you who sent me emails telling my about this Crate & Barrel off-shoot. Such as awesome store! I really want to go to one sometime. :)

Anyway, I thought the bedding in this photo was awesome! I would love to be surrounded by all those bright colors, wouldn't you?! Oh, and just to explain the weird yellow-green thing above... I'm giving you the choice of using either Summer Sun OR Green Galore. Neither color was quite right, nor was Gable Green. So... you get to pick! :)

Also, in order to keep the number of entries limited to an amount I can handle, I'm shortening the time given. So be quick if you want to be considered for the round-up. You only have until midnight tomorrow night (Thursday). Thanks for understanding what a large chunk of time it takes to look through all the submissions. :)

SO YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE?

Make a creation (card, scrapbook, etc.) of your own using the above colors. Then take a picture or scan your creation. Upload your digital image to your blog or in an online gallery, and then come back to kwernerdesign blog to share! Leave a comment on this entry with a link to your creation. Please link to webpages, not directly to image files.

Who's in the Round-up?
After the deadline, I'll share my creation with you as well as 20 submitted creations, consisting of ten randomly selected entries and ten of my favorites. Pictures emailed to me will not be considered for the Round-up.

When does your creation have to be submitted?
Thursday, August 7 at 11:59 pm MDT. <--- NEW TIME! You have until basically midnight.

NOTE: Those who have websites and blogs, you are welcome to use the above graphic on your blog. For swatches only, you can download the image file by right clicking here (or control+click for my fellow Mac users) and saving the file to your computer. Then upload the swatch image to your blog.

Wow! Am I the first one to post?! Crazy! This one was kinda tough. I wanted to do Halloween with these colors, but I just wouldn't give in to that temptation. :) This is what I did instead:

I did use white, too. Couldn't help it.

Was fun to see you at Convention, Kristina! I was the crazy one who wanted my pic taken with you. That narrows it down a bit, huh?? LOL!

I need bonus points because I had the 3 year old in my stamp room with me - stamping sock monkey on scrap paper while I whipped this one up! All I heard was "Mommy Can I stamp with you, Mommy Can I stamp with you!"

Off to clean up the mess!
Thanks for lookin!

I always check out these Color Inspirations but this is the first time I am submitting one! I killed two (three?) birds with one stone on this; I needed some thank-you cards, I did the challenge, and I got rid of a bunch of scraps! :)
