Welcome to Freebie Friday! I hope everyone is off to a great start in 2011. Anyone made and broken their resolutions already? That’s okay…here’s one resolution that will be easy to keep: joining us for Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week!
Beginning Monday, we’ll be spotlighting our latest special issue, Color Inspiration for Card Makers. This magazine features 280 card ideas from 70 fresh and inspiring color combinations. Gravitate towards certain hues? No problem. The cards are divided into six sensational sections: bright & bold, jewel tones, metallics, neutrals, monochromatics and pastels.
In addition to all the fun we’ll be having here, we’re partnering with Trends Editor, Cath Edvalson and her Moxie Fab World blog. Between the two sites, we’ll be spotlighting projects, hosting some fun color challenges and giving away some spectacular prizes!

Today I thought I would spotlight three of my favorite cards (and color combinations!) from Color Inspiration for Card Makers. All three projects are bright, happy and full of gorgeous C-O-L-O-R! Wouldn’t you agree?
Chan Vuong's Bold Hi Card (p. 17)
Erin Lincoln's Sending a Smile Card (p. 62)
Kalyn Kepner's Love You Card (p. 88)
Feeling inspired? Leave a comment telling me how color inspires you. I’ll pick three random winners to take home a copy of Color Inspiration for Card Makers AND some colorful goodies from Colorbok’s Sorbet collection. All comments must be received by midnight (MST) on Sunday, Jan. 9.
Three lucky winners will take home these goodies from Colorbok!
Happy Friday!

P.S. Make sure you join us on Monday when we spotlight designer Julia Stainton and a few of her 20 cards from Color Inspiration for Card Makers!
Color inspires me to turn always add a little ooh factor in my cards and scrapbook pages.
Color allows moods and feelings to come through on a card, an outfit, and in a room. I totally love the royal blue and hot pink color combos on the magazine cover – I’ve actually been trying to convince my sister to use it in her wedding bouquet! I love using interesting color combos and having pops of color on a card to celebrate events! I’m always looking for more inspiration and would love to get my hands on a copy of the magazine
Cute cards. i esp. like the “love you” one. great use of color! Color inspires me -makes me happy. I have always loved lots of color from early crafting days of making crepe paper flowers… cross stitching, tole painting, and now card making & scrapbooking. i love all of the colors and textures that i get to play with when i create!
Cute cards. Love the colors…I always like new color combo and try them out so this magazine is just perfect
