Color Inspiration #31
Good morning, friends! It's bright and early here--or not so bright (sun's not out yet), but definitely early--and I wanted to get this week's challenge posted so ya'll can start in on these yummy-licious colors!
You'll recognize the photo from my post about this weekend. I love this little wreath that's on our door, and I hope you do too!

gorgeous! Love your color combo and the peek of your wreath - thanks for always being an inspiration
Lovely colour combo!!
Just a quick question for you!
I have recently gotten into stamping. I bought a really cute set from inkadinkado and i noticed that the stamps are not holdin ink very well. The image is not the greatest! Do you have any suggestions?
These colors were kind of a challenge for me...

What a pretty color inspiration card, all the fall berries, I liked the colors, found them a little difficult though. Thanks for another challenge.
Thank you for a great color combo! I tried not to be so obtuse this week... I get carried away sometimes!

Where's Mister Linky? Here's my submission:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1134623?cat=500&ppuser=7448
Mr. Linky comes and goes. He was gone earlier yesterday and then I saw him last night and looked at a few entries and then he's gone again. Here's mine, but I'll come back to see if I can post to him too:
http://www.scrapbit.com/2008/11/19/color-challenge-31/
Hard colors, beautiful though, thanks!!
Great challenge Kristina. A color combo that I'd probably never come up with on my own!!
Here's my card:

Thanks Krintina for such great challenges.

Mister Linky's gone again!!
Here's my card - I used Mojo Monday for my sketch too! I love this week's colors.

So, this doesn't have anything to do with the challenge, but I was searching your blog for birthday card ideas (my hubby is turning 30 tomorrow) and I saw that you went to BYU-Idaho. I did too...for two years. I went in 2000 and 2001 (it changed to BYU-Idaho while I was still there). Good times. I lived in the non-cooking dorms--now married dorms--my first year and Heritage Manor (big white complex) my second year. I then went to BYU-Hawaii for a semester and finished at Provo. So I did the tour!
I love your website. Thanks for all the inspiration and great videos! I really look forward to Mondays and Fridays so I can see what new creation you've come up with!

Trying to repost so you can see my blog address. Hope it works this time! If not, it's chadnginnie.blogspot.com.
Thanks!
Love the colors again Kristina! It puts me in the Thanksgiving spirit!

Thanks for a great color challenge, Kristina!
I've never used Mr. Linky before, so I'm not sure if it's up and working right now.
Here's my card: http://jennierosedesigns.blogspot.com/2008/11/kws-color-inspiration-31.html.
I'll try back later to see if I can place my link with Mr. Linky.
I am also using Mr. Linky for the first time. I hope I got this right.
My first entry in your challenge but I have been a subscriber for what seems like years.
If I ever need a creative lift I come here first!

Here's my creation
http://paperfix.blogspot.com/2008/11/kwerner31.html
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I LOVE these colors - they are so me. It was nice to have a relatively 'easy' challenge (for me anyway) and a purpose (my DH's birthday) in creating the card. Thanks Kristina! (Also, I have NO idea why there's a smiley by my name. Does that show up for everyone?)
Great fall colors! here is my On the Mend card:
http://createwithjulia.blogspot.com/2008/11/two-color-challenges-and-sketch.html
G'DAY Kristina,
Hope your having a great week. Great colours, thanks for another fun colour challenge!
I've linked with Mister Linky lol!
Take Care XX
Thanks so much for this challenge. Love the colours.
Leigh
Thanks for the last couple of challenges Kristina. I've been wanting to play with Elegant Eggplant again but just haven't been inspired until you used it in your challenges
Hi Kristina,
This is my first time doing one of your challenges. What fun :-)
Blessings,
Cindy
What a lovely rich exotic colour combination I will use it again at home here as my friends will love it to I chose to do a 6x6 scrap page thanks again
Wonderful colors!!! I needed this shove for a Co-worker's Birthday!!! THANKS!

Hello Kristina
What an interesting combination of colors. They complement each other so well. This is my first attempt at one of your challenges.
I am still trying to find Mr Linky to upload there. In the meantime, here it is:

Thanks for the wonderful inspiration you always provide on your site.

No Mr Linky for me!
Trying again to link up through the comments since I don't see mine from the first try:

Thank you for these colors
Owesome colours!

Thanks
This is an awesome combo. I love any chance to use my aubergine!! :)
Here's my card - I'm number 96 - and I LOVE Mr. Linky!!
http://understandblue.blogspot.com/2008/11/you-can-take-your-hypotenuse-and.html
This was my first challenge, and what a challenge it was. Not sure if I'm happy or not with the result but loved the colours. They looked great in your wreath.
Fabulous colors! Not sure why, but I always have trouble with Elegant Eggplant. Thanks for the push to use it!
The colours were out of my comfort zone this week but I had fun doing the challenge. I love doing your challenges every week and I can not wait until next weeks colours.
I left a comment last night but it seems to have disappeared???? so I hope I'm not dublicating here - here is my color On the Mend card: http://createwithjulia.blogspot.com/2008/11/two-color-challenges-and-sketch.html
I love your wreath inspiration!
Another great inspiration! Thanks for looking.
This was definitely a push forward for me to make a wedding invitation design I had in mind but no time to make it. I love these colors together. Thanks for hosting this challenge
Kristina- I have to apologize, I messed up with my inital Mr Linky posting. I reposted with the proper link. Sorry for the mix up- I know you have a lot of stuff to wade through and I didn't mean to make it more difficult!
Thanks again for all of your hard work with the colour challenges. I love how it pushes me to work outside of my comfort zone! You help to inspire me to create!
Oh, Mister Linky, where have you gone? Will you come back to us? You were so wonderful! Just in case you don't, here's my card!
http://stampingarden.blogspot.com/2008/11/kristinas-color-inspiration-31.html
Posted mine - even though I used burgundy instead of eggplant by mistake. Guess I shouldn't craft after 11 p.m. !!
These were tough colors for me to work with. I would've NEVER put brown and purple together, but that's why you're the creative genius and not me!!!
Thanks for the challenges and videos, I love 'em!
My link disappeared, so I've added it again to Mr. Linky!
http://www.verastamps.com/2008/11/19/snakeskin-technique/
yowza this was a tough one!!
Great colour combo - not one that I would have put together myself but enjoyed working with it. I was also inspired by your wreath as you can tell from my card. Thanks again Kristina!
Lovely fall color combo.
You can see my card at http://reneecamacho.blogspot.com/2008/11/color-inspiration-31-card.html
My Link has gone so here it is again. First time at this contest.
Thanks
Thanks for the inspiration. Wish I did these more. I think I need to reshoot my card. You know how glitter never photographs as nice as was it looks. This time I used Iridescent Ice.
Can't wait for the next one.
Hi Kristina!
You probably got it thousand times because your blog is incredibly rich in ideas, but because I love it so much and because I come here several times a day, I give it to you anyway: the I LOVE YOUR BLOG award!! :D

Here's my card again. My link was deleted. Not sure what I did wrong, but I'm trying again
http://annettedavis.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/colour-challenge/
I wasn't sure about the colors when I pulled them all out , but it came together when I pulled out petal prints. Thanks for the challenge!
Love the color combination I just added my link.
http://suzzstampingspot.blogspot.com/2008/11/kwerner-color-challenge-31.html

Kristina, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for extending the deadline!!!! I never have enough time to play along with the shorter timeframe so this was a real treat! What an awesome color combination! LOVE the inspiration wreath too!!!

re-added my link, Mr Linky seems to be Mr Flakey today
Love the warm, fall tones of this challenge, Kristina.I found these colors a bit challenging to use together, but I guess that's the whole point, right? Thanks so much!
Thanks for another wonderful Color challenge. Now, I can actually go see what the others have created. I held off on it until I finished my card.
I did the Mr. Linky thing but I'm not sure if I have to link here too so here goes:
