Color Inspiration #33
Hi all! This week's Color Inspiration Challenge comes from my latest visit over to my local Target store. You'll have to excuse the poor quality of the photo--I took it with my cell phone!
I was walking through the aisle with all the notebooks on it and saw this journal with about a million buttons on it and thought it was adorable! Anyway, the colors are above. There's actually some red in the photo, but I thought I'd narrow it down to just five colors. Six is bordering on too many colors to deal with, ya know? :)
Just a quick clarification after the hot-linking entries last week. For these challenges, I encourage you to save the above graphic to your computer and then upload it on your blog if you'd like to. I am giving you all permission to use the graphic above. Feel free to use any of the challenge images. :)

I just started making cards and I find your site inspirational. Thank you.
So funny! I belong to a card swap group and we used this exact journal as a color challenge!
Whoa! Funky colors! I can't wait to try them out! I also wanted to thank you for taking the time to post these every week. I am sure all this blog work keeps you sooo busy! I really do appreciate all the inspiration you give us readers!
Thanks!

For some reason I can't see the Mr Linky box but my computers going a bit weird today :{
Hmmm...I also don't see Mr. Linky. And when I go to your site, I keep getting a window that pops up asking for a user name and password. (Is it just me!?) Anywho -- here's a card I made with these colors in the fall. Such a fun combination!

I'm so happy I found this site! I'm having so much fun and really look forward to Tuesday Mornings now! I had so much fun, I've already made my card too. These are colors I would have NEVER put togehter, and I'm SO happy the way my card turned out! Thanks so much! http://stampinfunwithselene.blogspot.com/2008/12/color-challenge-33-one-for-my-hostess.html

This one really was a challenge. I just had a tough time getting those too green-blue-like colors to work together. The only whisper white is in the photos...oops. Thanks for another great challenge. Thought I would add some scrapbookin' to the mix. Have a great day everyone! TFS
Fantastic colour combo, I never have enough time to complete a card and upload it before the cut-off day, don't suppose you could give us the weekend next year?
Ah hellur... tough!
I kid!

Love these colors more than I thought I would! Thanks for another great challenge!
I can't believe how quickly my card came together . . .especially since I thought I had no mojo today! Guess it just takes a stroll through your blog to get me going again! Thanks so much, Kristina!
Kay
Thank you so much for the inspiration! http://amandaraeblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/kristina-werners-color-inspiration-33.html
I love all the buttons! I chose to use more of the red that I see in the pic than the orange. Thanks for the challenge!

Kristina! I LOVE these colors, so yummy!!! I just might have to run to Target to find one of those notebooks, too! Thanks bunches for the challenge and the find!
I love the buttons! Maybe I should make a notebook...
OMG! This wasn't the colors I was hoping for this week, but WOW! I like the funk, Gotta Have that Funk! This was a lot of fun! I even found a way to use alot of scraps from my office! Thank you!
Fun colors - so I had fun with this challenge!
Just realized that this card marks the 20th time in a row that I have participated in your color challenges!!! Thanks so much for these wonderful challenges! I have met so many wonderful friends here!
Best wishes,
Sankari
Thanks for a great colour challenge Kristina. It was my first time playing along, but I'll be back again for sure. :)
Thanks for another great color combo, Kristina!
Your website is proffesional. A LOT to learn from you and those who post here. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the great colors. It really challenges me!
This was quite a challenge. I almost did not do it because the colors 'don't really coordinate' but isn't that what this is all about. Thanks for getting me to think outside of the box.
Another great Color Inspiration Challenge. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Kristina, I was so afraid of these colors but eventually got brave enough to tackle them. Thank you for the inspiration! Here's mine ...

I watched the Faith Hill video you posted this morning ... made me cry too! What a beautiful message!
Nancy
Thanks for the fun morning, Kristina! I wish I could shop at TARGET with you! Enjoy that!!
Whew - got mine in with 5 min. to spare! I had a tough time with this one, but ended up making it all with scraps lying on my desk. That's why I had Tangerine Tango, instead of Pumpkin Pie. I had to throw the celery in there somewhere - it's kind of funky. Thanks for the challenge, Kristina!
Well I thought these colors looked 'groovy' together! (Remember that old SU! stamp set? I loved that one!) Thanks Kristina! Very clever place to find your color inspiration!

My first color challenge! (I'm currently No. 81 on the list.) Thanks so much for the inspiration, Kristina!
I rarely have the time during the week to complete one your challenges, will have a go at this one over the weekend.
