Color Combos Galore

Color Combo Challenge #71

(05/12-05/18)

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Janine Langer!

I am 31 years old and live in Solingen, between Düsseldorf and Cologne in Germany, with my husband René and our cute little 5-year-old monster Gabriel. I started digiscrapping in 2005, but only from time to time. I missed using my hands, so I always knew that I will 'paper scrap' in the future and in January 2007 I finally started to scrap with paper. I still try to integrate some digital elements now and then, but scrapping with paper is the thing I love. My favorite subject to scrapbook is definitively my family. I love to capture memories - especially our everyday life - trusting that our son will love it when he is old enough to appreciate it.
I've met so much beautiful and talented ladies since I started scrapping and I love to be part of such a wonderful community. And I am also very excited to be a guest designer for Color Challenge blog. It is such a fantastic inspiration, thank you!

Can't wait to see it online and I can't wait to see what you did with the color combo! Thank you again!

Have a wonderful day,
Janine

Please welcome our Guest Designer this week, Cindy Liebel!

Hi there, my name is Cindy Liebel. I am a devoted wife to Tim (5+ yrs), a mother to two beautiful children, Tyler (5 yrs) and Corinne (10 mths) and I enjoy capturing the everyday life of my family through the lens. I have enjoyed scrapbooking for almost 5 years and love every minute of it. I tend to scrap mostly 12x12, but I also enjoy smaller sizes such as 8.5x11, 9x9, etc. Mini books and altering anything that screams to be altered is another way I like to express myself in this hobby. I love trying new things and stepping outside of the box. My favorite essentials I grab for first are cardstock, chipboard, brads, buttons, jewels, T-ruler, corner rounder and anything circular. I'm fortunate to have a studio all to myself to house all my scrapbook goodies. Other hobbies I enjoy are making jewelry, photography, home improvement projects, fine arts & sewing. If I'm not scrapbooking, you can find me on the couch indulging in a good movie & playing w/ my kids.

Currently, I am a Garden Girl for Two Peas In A Bucket, an American Crafts Creative Design Team member and I was named 2007 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Honorable Mention. You can find some of my work published in a variety of scrapbook magazines, such as, Scrapbooks Etc, Scrapbook Trends, Legacy Magazine, Memory Makers & Creating Keepsakes.

I am so excited & honored to be a guest designer for the Color Challenge blog this week, thanks so much Janet :-)

Woohoo! Thank you so much Cindy! WE are totally honored!!!!

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!
