100,000 Hits?!

I can't believe I'm approaching 100,000 hits! Wow!! I think that calls for some Blog Candy!

You know the drill... you'll have to leave a comment to be included in the drawing!

Here's what I'm going to do this time... In your comment, please tell me a Stampin' Up! color combination that you've wanted to use but have had trouble with. Then, once I draw the winner, I will create a card using that combination!

I will do the drawing after I return from convention - so be watching for the results on Monday, August 4th! ...and then you'll have to give me a little bit of time to create the card!

I look forward to hearing your combinations - and thanks so much for being a loyal reader of The Stamp Link!

  6. I have a hard time incorporating Apricot Appeal or Orchid Opulence in anything. I guess because they are not my favorits. Congratulations on the 100,000 hits.

  9. Congrats on your 100,000 Hits and WOW, I was so excited for you to see your card featured on the Stampers Showcase!
    I'm not a big yellow fan, but I love summer sun, and never use it, cuz I just can't seem to find the right combo-HELP!
    Have fun at convention-wish I was there.

  10. Wow! Congrats on all those hits! That's fantastic! :D Hmmm...a tough color combo that I like. I have a tough time using yo-yo yellow on a card in general! I can not find anything that I like it with! Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Orchid Opulence! I have lots of trouble combining it with other colors...and I like it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Congrats on 100,000 hits! I would love to win this awesome blog candy! Purples seem to be the hardest for me to use.

    ReplyDelete
  13. First of all, I love your blog! You are so inspirational. It's like a breath of fresh air to see your beautiful cards. I would have to say I have trouble with Red. It's so strong to me. It always says Christmas, but I see cards people make that are beautiful with red.
    Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow!!! 100,000 is amazing!! The color that I like that I have trouble using is cameo coral!!

    Congrats Michele!!

  15. WOW - congrats on all the hits! I have trouble with the darker colors in the Rich Regals color family. I like the birght and cheery colors so much better that the darker ones hardly get used. I would love to see what you could do with them.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Have fun at convention, can't wait to see all the new stuff.

    Congratulations on your 100,000 hits!

    Color combo I have a hard time with is anything with yo yo yellow. I think it is just such a hard color to use.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Congrats on 100.000 hits, Michelle! Thats awesome. Masculine color combos are hard for me. What about this one: Chocolate Chip, Apricot Appeal, and Bordering Blue. Good luck with that one!

  19. Any color combo with Glorious Green.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hum.....I had to really think about this one. I know a color I have not used in along time is garden green. There are so many other great greens that it seems to just be left in its paper folder and not used. So.....Garden green will have to be my choice. Now congrats on your hits.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Congrats on the hits! Great blog candy

    ReplyDelete
  22. Not that I have had trouble, but like Real Red, Very Vanilla and Bashful Blue, sounds strange, but can be interesting....

    Thanks for a chance to win!

  23. More Mustard is the hardest color for me!!! I just can't seem to make it look good.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Michele: Congrats on 100,000 hits! I know you get a new one from me everyday! I'm a relatively new demo, and your blog gives me alot of inspiration, so thank you! I have trouble using YoYo Yellow with anything. I know what the wheel says to use, but it just never looks good to me. Help! Hope you have fun at convention!

    ReplyDelete
  25. wow! congrats! i love your blog and cant wait to hear how convention was! color problem for me is yo yo yellow. ive had an unopened pack for 2 years. seems too bright, what color could i pair it with to tone it down?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Congrats Michele, you write a great blog. I think the hardest colours to use are yo yo yellow and pixie pink.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Congrats!

    I have never been able to use Summer Sun on anything. I've tried several times, but that color is just too dang bright!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wow, 100,000 hits. You really do impress me. I love your work and am so glad I came across your blog. You've been such an inspiration and I look forward to getting your updates - in anticipation. :) I have troubles with using anything with Bordering Blue (so that it doesn't look dull and drab). Thanks for your creativity!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I vote for Yo Yo Yellow too! Too bright for my taste. Congrats on the hits!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  36. Congratulations on your blog success!

    I struggle with most of the bold brights, especially Glorious Green. I don't know if I've ever made anything I like with that color.

    Have a great time at convention. I soooo wish I was going.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Congrats on all your hits. Your blog is in my favorites and I check it daily. Have a great time at convention. My trouble would be using yoyo yellow

    ReplyDelete
  38. Congrats on so many hits! Don't know why you can't believe it -- you're creations are amazing! You know me.....I'm card-making challenged. I love the craft, but still struggle with all aspects! I always take any help I can get!

    Enjoy convention, as I know you will.

  40. Congrats on all the hits! Wonderful!

    I agree wit some..reds and greens..love the colors but always think Christmas when I use them!

    Have fun!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Congrats on all of those hits! I have enjoyed browsing your blog for several months now. :)

    I would have to say that I have the most trouble using bright yellows and oranges. I use So Saffron all of the time, but can never bring myself to use the Summer Sun color!

  42. Ciao Michele,se ho capito bene dalla mia traduzione ,chiedi dei colori?Il mio preferito è il VERDE dal più scuro al più chiaro.
    Ciao

    ReplyDelete
  43. Congratulations! Love your blog. The blog candy is awesome - I would love that set!! I am mostly a bold brights girl and I have trouble using some Earth Elements like garden green, cameo coral and really rust. I like that stand out factor in cards and those colors just don't pop for me. Help. Now, that's a challenge - those colors together! LOL. I also have a hard time with Soft Subtles - if I use only colors from that family they all look like baby cards! Too cutesey! Thanks for the chance to win!

  45. Lets see. My hardest would have to be yellows and blues.

    Congrats on all the hits.

    ReplyDelete
  46. This may sound strange but I have difficulty using blue bayou. I love the color but don't know what goes with it well. whenever I use it, it just doesn't look quite right.

    ReplyDelete

  48. I always have a hard time using Taken with Teal - it looks so dated to me. Lavender Lace, too. I don't think even you could combine those 2!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Way to GO!!!
    I have a really hard time using the colors in the bold brights family.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Congrats on such a successful blog! I love your site and visit it daily. I too, have a hard time with Yo-Yo yellow, with the exception of using it for the Tart and Tangy set. Looking forward to your blog candy sample!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I tried more mustard, real red, and chocolate chip one time and wasn't completely sold on those colors together. Congrats on the blog milestone!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love Soft Sky and Purely Pomegranate, but I don't know how to use them together without the dark pomegranate color kind of "overpowering" the card!

    I have trouble with the rich regal family. I have all the colors but hardly use them because I am not sure how to coordinate them with other colors.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I almost hate to admit this outloud, but I do not love brown, so I struggle with the browns. Congrats on having so many hits!

  68. Wow, look at the pretties! I used to live in Allen, TX! I'm an Allen Eagle class of 2001. I lived there when it was just two stops signs at mcdermott and 75...boy have times changed.
    I have had problems with Really Rust. It's not pink or red and I just don't know what to mix it with. I have some paper and the marker...I haven't bought the ink pad yet...

    ReplyDelete
  69. Congrats on all your hits! I seem to have trouble using yellows like yo-yo yellow or summer sun, I never know what colors to use with them.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Congrats on all the hits!!!! I can only hope my blog gets that close.... one day!!!! My biggest problem comes when I try to use the darker colors like Not Quite Navy and Always Artichoke. I just feel it is really dark and gloomy. I find that I usually stick to the brighter colors instead. I hope you had a blast at convention!!! I'm hoping to go next year!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Congrats on 100,00 hits! I've added hundreds to this number. I just LOVE your blog! It gives me such inspiration and ideas. LOVE IT!!!

    Glorious Green and Yo-Yo Yellow are the colors I can't seem to find harmony with. Can you give my any suggestions?

    I hope you enjoyed the convention. I can't wait to see the new catalog!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I have the "creative liscense" Simply Scrappin kit with Pumkin pie, Wild wasabi and blue bayou... I see them in the kit... I know they go together, but my brain cannot imagine anything I will want to keep! I am sure I will make a cute boy page for an album, but it is just too boy for me! I need to get my head around it though, I have two boys for pete's sake!!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Wow...100K...good for you! How about Ballet Blue? I like it with Pumpkin Pie but not much else (save maybe other shades of blue!). Cheers!

    Back to colors, hmmm, I guess I have trouble with reds without making it look like valentines or Christmas.

  88. Congratulations on 100,000 hits! What a milestone!
    The Stampin' Up color combination I'd love to try but just doesn't seem to work for me is Old Olive with Mellow Moss.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your site!
    The color wheel shows that orchid should look great with hunter, rose red, brilliant blue, and yo yo yellow...seriously? How's that supposed to look good?

    ReplyDelete
  90. I can't make Yo Yo Yellow work with anything!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hi Michelle, I'm glad you made it to convention. I didn't this year; hope to next year. As for the colors I have trouble using. I have thought about this and agree with some that yoyo yellow is so bright. I seem to get stuck using blues and pinks more than anyhting. I also have trouble using the plums. So there you go. Congrats on hitting your milestone. Linda Gray

    ReplyDelete
  92. I would have to say More Mustard. Just can't seem to get that one to work. Congrats on the 100,000 hits and glad you had a good time at convention.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Congrats on your 100,000 hits. Love visiting your blog. I have a hard time using purples.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Hi Michele! I love your blog and I agree ... it really shouldn't take Blog Candy to draw readers out! I'm going to try harder to leave random messages - hope others will do the same as it benefits everyone to hear positive comments :o) I don't really have a color combination that I've struggled with - I find so many great resources to help me out (like our SU! demo site, SCS and the SU! color wheel but I would love to see more combo's using the new colors as I'm anticipating it will take me a few months to get comfy with them :o) Take Care Michele - Lisa Burns (www.lisaburns.blogspot.com)
