Color Inspiration #30
Good morning, all! It's time for another Color Inspiration Challenge. :)
This weeks challenge comes from Bed, Bath & Beyond. This duvet cover caught my eye and I absolutely loved the soothing colors--especially since we've had some intense color challenges as of late. :)
Anyhow, enjoy! And just so you know, I had to delete about 10 links last week because they were not posted correctly. ONLY post links directly to your individual blog entry. NOT to your blog. For example, I would post for this entry "http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/1108/color_inspiration_30.html." Notice how long it is? I would NOT post "http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog." Those of you with Wordpress tend to have shorter entry URLs as well, but for the majority of you out there, you will have a LONG individual entry address.
I will continue to delete links that are not correct. Even if you keep posting them over and over again. It's just easier for my readers to not have to scroll through all your blog entries to find the correct one. Please be considerate of others and follow the rules.
Thank you. I'll now step off my soapbox. :)

I really liked this color combination. Thank you, it was perfect to jump start my card making again.
WOW! beautiful color choices!! I was instantly inspired by this!! Thanks for starting my day off so nice! *smiles*
I LOVE these colors together. Thanks so much for the early challenge.
Oh thank you Kristina for the soothing colors. I have enjoyed playing with colors outside my spectrum, but I love these! ~Donna
Great challenge again (thanks for all your fantastic work!)
Nice to have some subtle colours this week!
Wonderful color combination this week, Kristina! I am looking forward to seeing everybody's projects!
Thank you for an amazing blog!!!
I love your work!
beautiful colours, I hope I get a chance to play. What I find most interesting about your choice of inspiration is there are buttons on that page that are last weeks inspiration colours!
Cool colors but I really wanted to say THANK YOU for changing the rules regarding the link to the cards. While I have yet to participate by making a card, I ALWAYS go look at everybody's cards when you post the roundup and this makes it so much easier!!!
So glad I was off today and could participate in your color inspiration challenge! Rather BLAH colors, but I like how my card turned out. I think the white brightened it up! Can't wait to see all the entries. Love your blog and was so glad to get my pic with you at convention 08.
Such great colors this week!

Fantastic color combo and inspiration piece, Kristina!
This was a very soothing looking inspiration. Thanks! I decided to change it up and do a scrapbook page this week.
Another beautiful CI Kristina. Thanks again for the inspiration.

Well, I just sat here and looked over the first 40 samples posted for this challenge... and I must say that of all the challenges this one has THE most beautiful creations thus far! WOW!! Thank you ALL for sharing your work! And thank you, too, Kristina for having these color inspiration challenges each week... I have certainly been inspired! Maybe I can find some time to stamp!
G'DAY Kristina,
Thanks for another fun challenge! Love this weeks colours! I've linked with Mister Linky(cute name lol)
Have a great week!
Take Care XX
Thanks Kristina! I love these colours together, they are so stylish.
Tanya
My background on my page is green and it messes with the visuals on my scrapbook page a bit...the greens don't really mesh well....anyway, enjoy!
Kristina ~
Thanks for the comment/help, I appreciate ALL that you do!
What a fun colors.. i just love it.
I had a really hard time with this combo for some reason. I guess I'm just not a "green" person. Thanks for the challenge!
Oh my goodness were you reading my mind?! I wanted to stamp the frog from one of my new sets and your colors were a perfect fit for him! Thanks so much for the challenge. :)
Thanks so much for the fun challenges! I know you are super busy, but I love them...even when I don't have time to participate I love seeing what others come up with. :)
My friend alerted me about this new challenge and despite my initial thoughts that the colours were bland, I was rather pleased with how my card turned out. I had my ideas formulated before I saw the inspiration piece. Now I off to see what the others have submitted.
I loved these colours so calming

Thanks

One of the cool things about playing along is that after I post my results, I take a few minutes to look at all the other great entries, and in the meantime find some really cool blogs! How much fun can it be! :)
I had to check out the time for Utah (using Google) to see if I was within the time frame given, it is late here - 11:41pm to be exact and so I had better hit the sack! I will have to check out the other entries tomorrow night or the next as much as I would love to now! Thanks for inspiring us yet again!
Running to craft room to get moving on the color challenge! :)
Great Colors! Loved the inspiration!
Thanks for the great color combo this week. I had a lot of fun!

I just love all of your color inspirations...I would've never thought of making flowers green if it wasn't for this challenge! These colors are so earthy and soothing...I love them!
love this combo...very soothing colors!! :)
Love your challenges, Kristina! This one was a nice, calming, cahnge of pace from the bright bold colors we've been working with lately. Thanks so much for another great challenge.
Kristina,
Would you delete my entry at #59...I retook the picture of my card and it looks much better now!
Thanks! Sarah
Kristina,
Hmmm...looks like I need to ask you to delete my #60 too. This link at #61 should be a good one. I promise to be a better player next week! I feel old with all the new technology stuff I'm learning! :)
I've just finished looking at all the submissions so far and I just have to say that, Kristina, you have a very difficult job ahead of you! There are so many wonderful submissions this time. I don't think I would be able to pick just 15. Great job everyone!
I'm going to try this one out today! I really love how you are doing the mr linky. It's really nice to be able to just click through the list for a bit of inspiration!
Hi Kristina,
Great, soothing colors this week. Thanks!

Wow, I wouldn't have thought to use the greens with sahara sand, but it's an elegant look. Thanks for the inspiration!
I LOVE green! These colors about put me to sleep...in a GOOD way. LOL
So happy to have a more mellow palette this week.

Hi Kristina! I know this is for the CI but I just wanted to show you what I made with your tutorial on the origami box! http://i287 .photobucket.com/albums/ll139/kimmiescraps/crafts/origamibox.jpg Such an inspiration, thank you! :)

Just wanted to comment on your Twitter about the price of gas. It is $1.87/gal in Kansas.
Thanks for the inspiration, Kristina!! I LOVE these colors, never would have thought of them on my own!!
I loved the challenge thank you. It really was a challenge for a first attempt. I hope I did everything right.
Love the color combo and I finally had a chance to participate!!!
I love the colors, so spring, but it is cold here so I chose winter!!! Thanks again for the challenge.

This was a fun color combo. I actually have a North Face fleece that is the exact same colors. (Well, celery and sand at least.) Anyway, fun time... woo-hoooo! :]
Lindsay
Thanks for the challenge!
I actually challenged myself three times:
1. I made a scrapbookpage with the given colors;
2. I made a 6x6 page which I had never done before;
3. I made a page within 3 hours - I usually take a week to do a page!! =s
Thanks for all of that! :)

These were totally great colors, thanks Kristina! :)

Thank you Kristina! Love the color combination!
Totally darling inspiration piece - great colors. I decided to make a "miss you" card. Thanks so much for the challenge!!!
Another fantastic challenge - and this time it was even more so a challenge as I had to make do with the pieces of cardstock I could find that most closely matched the SU colours.

Hi and relaxing color combo. Love it. Thanks.
I have made it my personal challenge to participate in your Color Challenges!
Thanks for the kick in the pants!
I loved this colour combo! It was perfect for the recipient-to-be of the card I made.
Thanks
I am so excited about these colors. Love, love, love the greens! Good luck going through all the entries, Kristina! I know I'm going to take in stages, so I don't get all glassy-eyed!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post these challenges!!! I'm sure it can be a 'challenge' for you sometimes, but I think everyone appreciates it as much as I do!
Arielle
Great color combo! Thanks!

loved these colours Kristina, just gorgeous!
I love your site and think you're terrific! This was my first attempt to enter one of your challenges, and I ran out of time, so my picture isn't too great, but I'm hoping to manage my time better next time! Keep rockin'!
I snuck in under the wire - I hope!
Great color challenge. I always love Old Olive.... It a favorite of mine.
Hugs
Brooke
Ok so I was unhappy with my last attempt... so i did another! :)
I'm cutting this one WAY too close. Thanks again, K, for these great challenges. I don't think I would ever get out of my color comfort zone otherwise.
Thanks Kristina! Such calm and soothing colors this week!
Have a goodie!
Ok so I am going through these and I am only on like 38 and yeah I think this week needs to be a top 100. lol
Good luck!
I used your color inspiration... I know it's way late, but I linked to your blog on mine, so I just wanted to let you know. Thanks!
