KWernerDesignBlog: Color Inspiration #27

Color Inspiration #27

Hi all! Sorry for the silence the last couple of days. I've been swamped with projects for Two Peas and I just haven't had the chance to sit down and blog! It's been crazy!

Anyhow, this week's color challenge comes from my favorite nail polish brand, Essie. I LOVE their nail polish and when I saw this picture of their fall collection, I just wanted to eat it all up! These reds and pinks are just awesome!

I've always loved the color red. I even love it so much that when I was in college and I would take all my clothes to my apartment complex's laundry room, I would have two washers going at once... One for my colors, and the other for my reds. :) I had so much red clothing that I could wash them separately from the rest of my clothes!

Anyway, if you want to participate in the challenge this week, create something that uses red as it's main color. It can be any red you want--even pink!

HEADS UP! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to stop doing the Color Challenge round-ups. I'm still doing challenges each week, just not the round-ups. I still want to post the cards or pages I make using the colors, but I've been so busy lately that I realized that I wasn't even making the projects because I wasn't getting enough time to sit down and compile all the links for the round-up. I'm so sorry, guys!

But please PLEASE keep posting your projects. I love to see what you're creating. It makes me feel a bit closer to all you blog buddies. :)

And because of that, and just to make it a bit more fun, instead of round-ups, I'm going to be having little giveaways each week. The winner will be drawn randomly from those who submit projects to the challenge.

This week's giveaway is...

Red Cherry Lollipops Fabric Flowers from Prima! Aren't these the cutest!? And perfect for this week's red challenge. :) See details below to submitting your card/project for the giveaway.

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.

When does your creation have to be submitted, and what does the winner get?
Friday, October 24 at 7:00 pm MT. Winner of giveaway will be notified by email and will not only receive the prize described above, but also mentioned here at kwernerdesign blog with a link to their submitted creation.

Can I use non-Stampin' Up! colors?
Absolutely! Just choose colors that are similar.

NOTE: Those who have websites and blogs, you are welcome to use the above graphic on your blog.

Arlene:

This is my first visit here and so I have no idea what a round-up was and since you've quit doing round-ups, I guess it doesn't matter:)))

I will see if I can think "red" this week. I see some great creativity here. Arlene

Hi - this is my first time doing your color challenge although I do follow it regularly. I just so happen to have made a card that fits in with the red/pink theme you have challenged (totally fluked it) - the link is here...

Thanks for still taking the time for the color challnges. I've seen MR. Linky on other blogs...it makes it easier to post our cards and for others to find them. Maybe this would be better than a Round Up. Just a thought

Hiya :)

I was going to say what Kathy said.

What about just asking people to upload to SCS using keyword KWCI27 etc...

Then we could look at everything together :)

Is there some rule against doing that that I don't know about?

October 23, 2008 @ 10:15 AM

So Kristina, as long as you don't take the BEST part of your Blog away, I am totally fine with the challenge thing. I NEVER found TIME to do them anyway. I will how ever try to get my first card entered into this challenge becuz I so LUV those adorable flowers by Prima. So, off to create my card.

I totally understand your reason for not posting your fav's... it takes alot of time to do that, I'm sure.
I find that I read all of the posts/comments on your challenges each week and enjoy seeing ALL of the projects posted! I've found some great blogs by doing this and even added several of them to my favs!
Hope I can find some "Stampin' Time" this week to participate in your challenge!

Amy, Ottawa, Canada:

I will miss seeing the quilt-like pattern of the round ups, but TOTALLY understand how this "hobby" is so demanding. Thanks for all the effort you put into your blog.

A lot of Lipstick

I'm still hoping you get picked up by a network, so you can get paid for your efforts. :)

I think this one was a bit of a mis-nomer for me... using mostly red or pink isn't much of a challenge! Anyway, still great to have you posting stuff and inspire us to create. Here's my card and a novel of a post...
