Color Inspiration #36

123008-colors.jpg

Hi all!

The colors for this week's challenge come from a pin cushion that I found on Paula's desk at work. One of our co-workers Amy made cute pin cushions for Christmas gifts this year. When I saw it, I immediately had to take a picture. Isn't that tiny butterfly on the pin adorable? I love it! :)

Anyhow, enjoy the colors and I can't wait to see what you do with them!

Join us: Make a card/scrapbook page/whatever in the colors above. Color Inspiration virgins, please read the Color Inspiration FAQ first.

Deadline: Thursday, January 1 at 7:00 pm MT.
You will know when the deadline has past because you will not able to submit a new link through the Mister Linky box.

Grab this week's swatch-only image.

This is so fun! Can't wait to play! Just wondering...is that a pink felt fusion flower in the center/top of the pin cushion? :) Super cute!

Kristina says: No, I don't think so. I think it's just some felt she cut out. :)

I found this delightful site via another site that talks about "inchies" and "twinchies" things I've never heard of before! I'm a little behind the eight ball I guess, but I do know what ACEO's are as I do create them!

This is my first challenge, yours and mine. It's challenging for me to put myself out there for everyone else's viewing, but I'm so excited to participate, and part of my resolution this year is to go outside of my comfort zone. This is definitely doing that. I love the colors too, so that helped a lot.

January 1, 2009 @ 5:30 PM

Kristina,
I absolutely love the colors you chose this week, so much that I made two cards. Hope you enjoy them. On a side note, I received a Slice machine for Christmas because of seeing it on your blog. I absolutely love it and was able to use it on my card. Thanks for all of the inspiration!
