Color Combo Challenge #78

(06/30-07/06)

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Davinie Fiero!

Hi! My name is Davinie Fiero and I'm married to my local firefighter and mommy to two fiesty little girls. I work from home part-time and obsess about my paper and scissors the rest of the time, if the kids will let me anyway! Let's just say I often stay up late! I am lucky to design for Studio Calico, an uber cool kit club, and Pink Paislee, a hot new manufacturer. I have been published in BHG Scrapbooks Etc., Memory Makers and Memory Makers books, Scrapbook Trends, Paper Crafts, Cards, Paper Trends, Legacy, Home & Heart, and other web-based publications. I am honored to participate in the color challenge this week and had a blast with the colors chosen. Thanks again for having me!

Davinie, all I can say is you ROCK!!! Your layouts and cards are so inspirational!! Get a closer, more personal look at Davinie on her blog!

Now let's play!!
Can't wait to see what you create with these colors!

Color Combo Challenge #76

(06/16-06/22)

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Suzy Reap!

I'm a stay-at-home mom to 4 kiddos, ages 2 to 6. I started scrapbooking shortly after my oldest son was born because all the baby books I found had pages I would have left blank or were missing important details I wanted to include. After 6 years, I'm still going strong! I recruited my sisters-in-law to share my obsession with this hobby and now nobody else will sit with us at family functions because our conversations also steer themselves back to scrapping. As a busy mom, I love doing challenges to get pages done and I was thrilled to be asked to guest host this week. :)

Thank you so much, Suzy! So fun to have you with us!!

Now let's play!!

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Angela Daniels!

Angela Daniels describes herself as an obsessed scrapper. Her scrapbook pages and projects have been published in nearly every major crafting magazine and she recently spent 2 1/2 years as a cast member for Scrapbook LifeStyle, an online scrapbooking reality show for Scrapbooks Etc. magazine. Angela was recently chosen to be a Lead Fiskateer for Fiskar's brand ambassador program and when she is not scrapping with her favorite Fiskars products, she's either blogging about scrapping or blogging about some of her other hobbies: spending time with her husband and two children, reading, critiquing reality TV shows, following her favorite comedians, reading Spider-Man comics, exploring the beautiful Sierra Nevada wilderness in her backyard of Reno, Nevada, and snacking on candy.

Thank you so much, Angela! We love your work! Get a closer, more personal look at Angela on her blog!

Thank you for visiting Color Combos Galore and WELCOME to the Color and Inspiration Challenges! Our challenges are designed for every paper crafter, designing scrapbook pages to cards and everything in between. So happy you have joined us! Here at Color Combos Galore, you will find over 200 unique and inspiring color combinations that will help you discover and explore color in a way that you never knew before and who can't use a little bit of color? Everyone is welcome to play, so jump right in and enjoy the FUN!

Color Combos Galore is a weekly color challenge...with a twist. Are you ready to open the door to a new world of color and inspiration?

Color Combos Galore takes an Inspiration Photo, a Color Combo and a Designer's Challenge, some notes and puts it all onto one Inspiration Board.

This approach to our challenges combines color and inspiration with creativity. Each week with our "Focus On" series, we invite you to delve deeper into your creative minds to read inspiration through new eyes, allowing you to open the doors of creativity by exploring fun ideas and techniques to creating your projects. It's where color and imagination meet inspiration. And we don't stop there! Our "Bonus Challenge" allows you to draw your own inspiration from the Inspiration Photo and add it to your design as well! The possibilities are endless!

So what are you waiting for?

Step outside your box... We dare you!

You'll be glad you did....

We guarantee it!

So are you ready to play? Download the Inspiration Board, grab your supplies and jump right in! Here are our simple rules to the game:

You must use all four colors given in the Color Combo on the Inspiration Board any way you wish, but stay true to the Color Combo. You are allowed to add neutrals like black, white and kraft. If necessary, you can pull another color from the Inspiration Photo, but keep in mind, the amount you use cannot be more than any of the original four colors shown in the Color Combo. Further Instructions and Guidelines: HOW TO PLAY.

We hope to inspire you, so that you are NEVER be afraid of a Color Combo! Play the challenge! Enjoy the process, have fun as you experiment. We are looking forward to you sharing your creations!
