Color Inspiration #39
Hi all!
First of all, I have to apologize for not having a round-up for last week's challenge. It's been a super crazy week. Between planning ahead at work (since I'll be out of the office for a week) and at home (filming double MACM and Finally Friday videos for while I'm gone), I've been a bit occupied. Please forgive me! I have looked through them and I've been super impressed.
For this week, though, here are the colors courtesy of a photo I took nearly four years ago while I was on a trip to New York City with my college. Great bright colors! I hope you enjoy!
Oh, and Green Galore is SUPER bright, so feel free to pick another green if you'd like. It's just the closest green to the photo. Extra credit to all of you who use Green Galore. :)

Oh yeah, my very first try at a color combo...even though I check it out every week and think about it...I just never seem to get one done in time. And that picture is awesome!! Thanks for the fun. Can't believe that I'm first on here!!
Love this color combo and I am jonesin' for a giant gumball now!
Like Donelda, I hopped on this challenge right away!
You guys are fast! Confession: I just finished my card too but I can't post it until I have nice daylight to take the picture. *taps foot impatiently for tomorrow to arrive*
No Way...I'm first? How exciting! LOVE this color combo...super fun:)
No, I guess I jumped the gun...I wasn't first:) Way to go Donelda & Kelly Jo:)
What a fun color palette we have to work with this week! It was so inspiring that I couldn't wait to work on a card for this challenge, and I've just finished it tonight!
Thanks so much for such a great source of inspiration, Kristina! I love it! :-D

This time it was hard for me, because I don't like black. :)
Thanks again for another great challenge, I really have had fun with this one, and it soooo not my usual colors!
Thanks for making me use Green Galore! I rarely pick it up, but always like it when I do!
Such cute colors! I'm bummed you moved the posting date back to Friday... it was great to have Saturday to work on the challenge. Wouldya consider changing it back? Smiles :)
I bugged out when I first saw these colours but I managed to get them to work for me. Thanks for another great challenge :)

Great color combo. This is my second color challenge. Enjoyed it too.
Gosh, this one was a tough one for me. When I had finally finished my card the entire room looked like there had been a cardstock storm in it.
Lots of fun though!!!
Wow. This is quite a color combo... and quite the challenge. Apropriate. :)
I was completely stumped at first, but loved it after making the card! I'm definitely going to experiment with theses some more!
Hi Kristina! I wasn't sure about these colors, but I just had to play -- and now I love them! :) Thanks for a great challenge. Oh and! I think they are great for "guy cards". :)

lovin' this week's colors - I like using bold brights but just haven't done so in a while - and I don't mind the brightness of green galore.
Good luck with etsy - the other day I bought an adorable strawberry knit cupcake to keep on my desk to hold my straight pins (which hold all of my ribbon in place).
Awesome challenge Kristina! Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous colours this week!!!
That was a hard one, Kristina! Thanks!
These colors were very surprising, but not as difficult to work with as I expected. Great challenge! :)
I linked my card! Thanks, Kristina~
What fun and unusual colors for me!
Thanks, it was fun!
loved the challenge. I didn't like the colours at all but I managed to think up something. Enjoy.
Liam
color challenges are fun.
Second week in a row that I'm participating in the color challenge, I think I'm starting to enjoy this :-)
Very bright color combo. I am not sure this first card is what you would have been looking for. I will post a second card later today. Fun colors to work with!
Fantastic colors Kristina! Thank you!!!!
Love these colours just wish I could get the true colour to show when I upload it. Can we have some tips on taking photo's please Kristina?
Jo :)

Great Colors - so many people playing. Seems more and more every week.
I combined 3 challenges including this color challenge. It worked for me! LOL! I think I'm just under the wire for your deadline, too. I posted to my blog here: http://mrsboz.blogspot.com/2009/01/40th-birthday-lsc204-wt202.html I also posted to my gallery on SCS. I used Green Gable instead of Green Galore only because I was using up some scraps and I didn't have any Green Galore scraps! Thanks for the challenge!!!
This was a fun color challenge, not ones I would usually use.
Wow... that squeak was me, just getting in!
And oh yeah that is green galore!

Thanks for the inspiration Kristina. Hope I've got the colors right.
Finally, I've had enough time to get something together for a Colour Challenge. It's been ages! I really liked this combo.
Thanks for a great challenge.

I wanted to do a card all day for this but thought I was too late. Saw the link was still working so did a quick one. Have fun at Disneyland!
I am sorry I missed it! :( I thought it was a Sat deadline- sorry. I did two challenges in one and thought it was pretty great.
Shot I thought i had until 7 :(
