Show Me Your Colors Again! JUNE (and shh, I know a secret)

[Elisabeth]

I really enjoyed the color scheme challenge last month. I viewed and reviewed each one posted, and thought a lot about each one of them before finally choosing one. So, I am keeping those in the database, and if I ever choose any of your schemes you will automatically get the kit free. But enter again, each month, for more chances to win the random store coupon. And I will have a different slant each month. Last month it was "Don't show me my favorite colors".

This month it's "Show Me Your Christmas Colors!"

No, I'm not the Mad Hatter, and as far as I know, I haven't seen any rabbits with pocketwatches or tried the "drink me" stuff. No, here's the thing: DSP is going to do ANOTHER Christmas in JULY!!!! If you were here for the last one, you will remember the plethora of FREEBIES that came out of SANTA's BAG! Wow. I remember getting free kits, alphas, mini albums, ploppers, so much free Xmas stuff I still don't think I have used it all.

SO: As I'm part of staff this year, (I'm still stunned by this fact) I want to know what color schemes you'd like to see for Christmas! OR, if you celebrate another holiday during that time, feel free to post those colors instead - I'm not ruling other December holidays out. This is all about what YOU want. I don't know what the rest of the staff will be working on, but I'll be taking orders from your suggestions here.

Post your color scheme in the Color Scheme Gallery (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=2379) and link it back here by June 15. I'll pick one then for my CIJ freebie and a store kit, and if I choose your color scheme you get the kit as soon as I'm done with it!

And as before, we'll have a random store coupon winner. Big thanks go to Bethy for her help last month. She and I are both away from keyboard for parts of June, but if I don't get to post in this thread before I come back on the 12th, I want to see LOTS and LOTS of holiday color scheme choices!

Thanks!

[Elisabeth]

In your case there might just be. :)

OH this is a neat challenge. Im not sure how to do this but I will give it my best try.

Here is the color scheme on my tree. Oh course the grey is more of a sparkely silver but I dont know how to do that.

We are moving to SC Friday (eek!), so I'm going to try like crazy to finish this week's challenges, and then I'll probably MIA for a week or maybe more (depending on when the moving co. will actually deliver and unload the truck--still don't have word yet :( )

[KY Bumpkin]

Gothic Santa, LOL! I'm thinking yes there is!

[MarsOlson]

This probably doesnt look like a very Christmasy color scheme to everyone but they remind me so much of my Mary's christmas sweater that I associate the colors with Christmas.

[Elisabeth]

Wow! Lots of those are gorgeous! I'll be picking one in the next day or so. Once I do, I'll take requests on elements! Get in your last minute color schemes and we'll be ready to go on this soon! Thanks!

[Janet]

Here's my suggestion:

[Elisabeth]

Wow. I LOVE so many of the schemes you've chosen, and as before, if I ever snag a scheme you've posted and make a kit with it, you'll get the kit free. But this month I can't ignore that THREE different people opted for the blue and silver, so I'm going to go with that! AngMiner, AmyEileen, and Whisper Pink will get this kit free, and I'll pick a random winner from the other posters for a store coupon in a minute.

The starter pieces are posted here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=105823&cat=2379). Check those out and tell me what other pieces you want in the kit! Sort of like how a pass the pixel works.

This kit will be part of the Christmas in July Festivities, which means it will have a bonus set offered free at that time - so don't be shy - tell me what you want! Thanks!

[Elisabeth]

And Kinderkim is the random number coupon winner! Kim, pm me with your full name and email address so I can pass it on to the prize lady! Thanks!

[Whisper Pink]

ooohhhhh ... how exciting!!! Thanks Elisabeth!!!

how about....Silver Bells....(as I hum the tune off key...LOL)
white poinsettas...
and I will give it some more thought...but those are off the top of my blonde head...

[Vallie]

Congratulations Winners and thanks Elisabeth for a great challenge! I left my suggestions on the link! :)

[Elisabeth]

Great suggestions, all! Gonna work on this and have another preview soon! Thanks!

[Elisabeth]

I've sat on this for a couple of weeks without thinking of a name, and then as I was posting a challenge to name it, the title "Blue Christmas" finally came to me - DUH! So I went back to remove the challenge and Sandra had already been there with the same thing! I guess the obvious hadn't hit me in the face.

Anyway, it can be seen here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=109375&nocache=1) and will be in the store July 1. When we get to the CIJ festivities, I will have a set of freebies that coordinate with it to give out, and also a coordinating posting bonus. So all told, this kit has lots of goodies.

New challenge up soon!

[Whisper Pink]

When is the challenge for this coming out? Anyone know?

[Elisabeth]

Christmas in July - the date hasn't been finalized I don't think. But late July, likely on a weekend. I'll update with a link or info when I have it. Thanks for asking!

[Vallie]

The Blue Christmas kit is awesome Elisabeth, I bought it today!! :)

[Elisabeth]

Thanks Vallie! And there will be an opportunity to get a buncha extras late in July for free. I asked to be sure, but I believe the date of the event is somewhere around July 29.

[Elisabeth]

Dragging this back up to award a new Christmas kit - which features Amyeileen's colors, so she got the kit and it's not in the store until Dec. 4th. Thanks!
