Color Inspiration #37
This week's Color Inspiration Challenge comes from some pencils I saw on Robyn's desk at work. Aren't they cute? She got them from
seejanework.com and when I saw them I knew they'd be perfect for a color challenge.
Anyhow, since I was SUPER busy this week and didn't get the challenge up at the usual time, I'm extending the deadline by a couple days. Hopefully that will give ya'll enough time to play. :)
Have fun!
Join us: Make a card/scrapbook page/whatever in the colors above. Color Inspiration virgins, please read the Color Inspiration FAQ first.
Deadline: Saturday, January 10 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.

Wish my craft room weren't in boxes so I could play along...maybe in a few weeks after I move I'll be able to participate again. Love those pencils!
Thanks, great challenge.
Really enjoyed the challenge this week!!! Thanks for all the hard work you put into making this happen :)
Amy
Love the colours this week. Thanks for another great challenge.
Great colors! Had a lot of fun creating a card for the challenge! Thanks for everything you do to keep these color challenges going! Its very much appreciated!!
Best wishes,
Sankari
First time participant - long time lurker. Thanks Kristina for your generosity and for these fun challenges!
OMG! I love that link "See Jane Work"- TFS!
Great colors! Thanks for doing all the hard work to keep these going! Lots of fun!
Hi there
Well this is my first time entering, loved the colours and really enjoyed the challenge!
Hey Kristina,
Thanks for great colors this week, and keeping up the Color Inspiration. This week's colors reminded me of the transition period between the sixties and the seventies! It was fun! I actually remember this pallette of "old decade" turquoise and pink colors into the "new decade" of, orange, olive..(they called it avocado back then) LOL! and brown! I have some really funky pictures dressd in these colors I'll spare everyone! Have a great weekend! Donna
Love the colours this week!
Thanks for the challenge!:)
Great color combination! These are some of my favorite colors to work with! Thanks for doing this every week!
Thanks for another great challenge - which I find these colors to be! As it happened, I was creating some love notes for my husband using some of these colors when I checked out this week's Inspiration... how bizarre!
Love these colors!! Thanks for another great challenge. I appreciate your effort in cotinuing these challenges this year. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us in 2009!
Just thought I would pop in to say Hi...
I have followed your blog for a wee while now and decided tonight was the night and I made a card to join in with your colour challenge
Take Care :-)
Your color challenge photo was so crisp and nice - I'd love it if you gave photo hints on your blog occasionally. I just got a new Canon Rebel for Christmas and although I plan to take a class, I still like to hear tips from others whom take nice photos too.
Thanks Kristina ... I hope you know that even after your challenge has finished I often back track to get ideas for colour combos. So your efforts pay off for a long time after!!! Thanks for your constant inspiration! Loved these colours! Stampin' Hugs, Andrea
Thanks for choosing these colours - they are right up my alley! I used them to make a birthday card for a friend this morning. Very cool.
Pencils from a desk hu? Wow! Inspiration truly is everywhere!!
I loved this colour challenge it realy made me think outside the box.
love your challenges Kristina, and finally decided to join in! thank you so much for these colours! LOVE those pencils!
Love these colors!
these colours were fantastic! Thanks again Kristina :)

Great colors! Just perfect for the mood I was in! Thanks!
Another great challenge. These even get my 10yo son going - he's always asking what the new colours are! Thanx for helpiong him get inspired and giving us something else to discuss!
I haven't been able to play along in a long while and so it was so much fun to be able to participate again:)
Here's a link to mine for this week (I hope I did the mister linky thing right - this was new to me:)
http://rosesinmyheart.blogspot.com/2009/01/colour-inspiration-37.html
these colours r just marvellous, Kristina... I had 2 make another card... I hope u won't mind... :-).
sometimes I have 2 struggle... but now that I have colour pencils, everything works like a charm... :-).
LOVE these colour challenges!!! This is my second time doing your colour challenge (did one last week) and I think they're great. It's a nice way to get the creative juices flowing!
Thanks again,
Christine
Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the inspiration each week. I was glad to have time to participate in this one. I struggle a little though with pumpkin pie!
http://kelliejupe.blogspot.com/2009/01/colour-challenge-time.html
G'DAY Kristina,
Love this week's colours!
Thanks so much for another fun challenge!
Have a great weekend
Take Care XX
Thanks for another great challenge Kristina!
Hi Kristina
Thanks again for the fab challenges. I'm so glad I've finally gotten to do one again...& I'm not scared of pumpkin any more because of you!
Best wishes also for your personal challenge for this year. I can certainly relate & hope we'll all end this year lighter & healthier too.
Go You!

I so love these challenges Kristina. Thanks so much for continuing with them!
Thank for the challenge once again. Wonderful colours.
Thanks for the Colour Challenge Kristina......I love these colours!
Love Keesh x
This was fun. My first opportunity to play along. I used Soft Sky as a substitution for the Baja Breeze. I love Chocolate Chip in anything! The hardest thing for me was using the Pumpkin Pie, but I was pleased with the end results. Blessings! Becky.
My first challenge. Thanks for taking the time and effort involved. I hope to play along regularly in the future (lifestyle permitting!)as I have made a resolution to move out of my groove, colourwise this year. Thanks for helping me keep my resolution - good luck with yours.
Claire
Kristina is my inspiration!!!! :) Thank you!
I just can't believe it... I've made 3 cards 2 this challenge!!! I just loooove these colours Kristna! That must b it! :-)
Thanks for the challenge.
Love the colours this week!
i just love these colours so much, that i had 2 make a third card... :-)
Kristina, I always got so excited whenever you post CI challenge, I couldn't sleep thinking what should I do with the colors! I made two cards this week.
Thanks for keeping this up, this is so fun, exciting, and inspiring! :)
Kristina, I've been seen the cards that all these talented ladies have posted, and I have to say that they ALL are great cards. For sure you will have a hard time deciding which ones to chose.
I love your colour challenges Kristina, thank you!
Kristina, you certainly know how to create some fantastic color combinations! THANK YOU!
Loved the challenge. thanks for the inspiration every week.
Thanks for a really great color inspiration!! The colors go so well together it made it very easy to come up with a much needed card for me to get in the mail tomorrow. Thanks for the fun combo Kristina!!
Thanks for the wonderful color challenge. This is my first time participating. It allowed me to get out of my box! Happy Stampin'!
This is the first color challenge I have ever participated in, but I loved the colors so much I had to play.
Very beautiful color combination. Thanks you have been a such a great inspiration for me.
So proud, I finally did one, it's been a while!
Thanks for the color challenge! I had a lot of fun with it.
Kay

Thanks for more fun colours Kristina!
Sam.
Thanks for another awesome color challenge, Kristina!
HI Kristina,
Thank you so much for sharing with us your beautiful creations and these challenges.
I was late last week,I hope this week I will be on time.
Katou
My first submission to your color challenge so I made it VERY simple. I'll be a little
braver next time! Thank you for challenging me!
ohhh...love that SeeJane Work site ... YIKES!
Thanks for another great challenge - I do love greens & blues - so soothing but great to add a splash of colour too
This was my original idea to start with so I thought I would share it with you.
No time to stamp right now but I'm just loving all the cards submitted this week!
Thanks for the great colour combo!
Great colors. I had fun again this week and I did not do my favorite, flowers!!
I wish we had Baha Breeze. I had to substitute Bordering Blue - hope it's close enough. It's my first attempt at machine stitching a card and I'm hoping to do more of them in the future.
Love these colours Kristina. Thanks for another bright and colourful Challenge. I'm hoping to take up a lot more this year - they really get my creative juices flowing!
Sorry Kristina, 'Take 2', I made an error when linking my blog entry on my first attempt.
Great colours once again! I can't wait to get Baja Breeze here in Australia... Looking forward to the next inspiration
Thanks for the great challenge!!!
Well, this is my first time completing one of your challenges. This is fun! I love the color combinations you come up with!
That was fun! Thanks again! :)
Loved these colors, they were perfect for my image!
Blessings, Maria
another awesome color inspiration challenge, kristina! i absolutely love these colors!
{{{hugs}}}

Great colors this week. I can honestly say I wouldn't have tried this if they hadn't been in the challenge and I LOVE the result. Thank you!
This is my first color challenge, or any sort of card challenge.
WOW, a lot of entries this week!!! Good luck choosing. I peaked through and oh so many awesome ones!!! Thanks for the inspiration. The card I made today is more special than usual... it's the first card for baby :)
Have a great weekend and again, great stuff you have here!
I LOVED the colors this week! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is such a beautiful color combination! I can't believe this is my first time playing! Thanks so much Kristina! :D
This was fun, thank you. The colors were nice, crisp, and elegant.
Thank you for the wonderful inspiration! This was my first time participating and it was so much fun. I always follow your color challenges visually but never seem to get the time to make a card by the deadline. Extending the deadline helped me this week :). Thank you for all that you pour out to everyone else. I hope it's very satisfying for you.
Haven't done one for ages! Thanks - it was a bit of a challenge for me.
I liked the colors this week! Thanks!
I liked it so I did another!
Fun color combo! :-)

Thanks for the super challenge - love the colors. Happy 2009!
What a fun color inspiration photo this week! Thanks, Kristina, for always offering the best challenges to inspire us "to grow" in our creative talents!
Hi Kristina! I agree with Donna who said that the colors kinda reminded her of 60's-70's stuff! Made me think the exact same thing! Love it. Thanks for having the challenge, had some fun on a Saturday morn!
Thanks for the inspiration, Kristina!
Hey lady! Whoo hoo, I was finally able to join in on one of these! :)
http://stampprincess.com/?p=47
These were fun. I was so glad I could finally do one for once! I like when the color inspiration challenge is due on a Saturday, then I can actually do them!
I had so much fun with these colors I ended up making 2 other cards with the colors. :)
Fun fun fun stuff!
Oh my! So many awesome cards this week! Love the challenge and the community!
This is the first time I completed one of the inspiration challenges, had so much fun doing this one, I am going to go back and complete all the other ones just for fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
Will I be the last entry at 188? Yikes...that's a lot to check out! Thanks for doing the challenges...it's a great motivator! Hopefully I won't be so under the wire next week. Thankfully, we had until tonight to get this right!
Wow Kristina...so many wonderful entries. I don't envy your job of choosing favourites. Thanks so much for posting this challenge each week...I really look forward to it!
Thanks so much Kristina! I barely made it in time!!
Whew! Have a great weekend and thanks for another great challange.

Thanks so much for hosting these challenges!
Wouldn't you know I found some Baja Breeze card stock after I made the card using a substitute color?!
Great colors! I did the challenge two times in a row - YEAH! Thanks, Kristina!
Bianca!
Heck, I missed it. I have been late with everything lately. Still I was very happy that you gave me the suggestion with the colours - I think they are great!
Well, for the first time ever, I actually have all of the colors I needed for your wonderful color inspirations! I love to check your website, thanks for the endless inspiration.
Here are the two cards I made - completely from scraps!
