Talking Updated: Made a Template with MS Excel

I found a few mistake toward the end of the file so I corrected that and updated this.

THANKS!


Original message:
I was messing around with my Color Combo that I had printed out from SCS. I just didn't like that it was just the name of the color and had just printed out the in-color 08 flyer and it was sitting on the desk and I glanced on it and thought why not attempt something like that so I messed with excel on and off for about 3 days and created one!

I use the 3/4" circle puncher to punch the colors out and it works out pretty good. Also I slip mine in page protector.

Thought I'd share with the board in case someone was interested in this.

Looks like a great tool, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how it works.

Would it be possible for you to link it as an EXCEL doc rather than a EXcEL Read Only? Some of the lines aren't showing up and I'd like to edit to see if I can fix my problem? thanks for sharing - this will be a great tool!

LOL! it's okay!!

punch out the colors with the 3/4" circle punch according to the names and glue it down and you'll have rows of colors I just finished mine last night and I will post a picture in a little bit if that'll give you a better idea.

How cool is that!

I don't have any Stampin Up colors, but I want to go back through and do the Color Challenges, so what I did was go to Laura's Stampin Up color combo site and found the colors there....

I couldn't find Forest Foliage and Rose Romance. I was wondering if anyone would mind scanning them in, so I could get a color swatch of them on my computer to put into the Spread Sheet?

Thanks!

Actually those were the old colors. They changed it to Handsome Hunter and Regal Rose. BUT they did change the color on those too. So if you don't have any, I would substitute for those current color if you have those on hand.

HTH!

Thanks Jennifer

I saved a couple pics from ebay of those color ink pads, and just used my color dropper in Paint Shop Pro, to get the colors. I can be so **** at times!

I'll just insert my little color images right into the file, because I have none to punch out...but it will give me an idea, so maybe I can at least get close fto the right colors for the challenges.

THANKS!!!!

KaylynConover has a thread with a post she has done matching the SU colors with her computer and she tells you how to get the right colors.
