Colour Challenge by Jo West

eeeks, I apologize for getting on here so late ... sometimes sharing a computer with a full time student really limits my time to post ...

I loved this month's colour challenge ... any time and orange is put together with a colour from the blue tones everything just seems to pop!   could be because they are they are opposite on the colour wheel ...

and speaking of wheels ... or just big round things ... I love this picture of my daughter at Granville Island this summer ... as usual she has inserted herself into the art ...   It just made one big bold statement so i didn't want to overdo the layout with lots of patterned paper.  Instead I used small strips of paper cut from scraps and glimmer mist to take away from the highly graphic nature of the strips and the photo.  The embellishments are home made .... I used Tim Holtz fragments, covered with glossy accents, glitter and then sheer shiny fabric ... the little flower is from felt and has a small felted ball in the centre ... the flower was a breeze to make!

Do try this colour combination, it really is delicious and you can see just how gorgeous and multi purpose it is in the layouts  and cards below by Carrie, Debbie & Erica!  They have absolutely rocked this challenge and we hope you will too!!!

Color Challenge by Cari Locken

Hi there everyone!

Well, after taking the summer off from being around here it's great to be back!! I hope that you've all starting settling into school/work routines again. I've been trying to get used to having all 3 of my kids in school now and I must admit it's been a huge change. I've enjoyed some quiet hours and have had some time to scrapbook as well.

I sometimes find it hard to get back into the groove or find that I lack inspiration. I have found the perfect place to get inspiration is from sketches and color challenges.

This particular picture below was my color challenge.

I decided to use the layout of the photos as part of my actual design. The colors were just so gorgeous that I used those as well.

Supplies used: Imaginisce (Birthday Bash papers & rub-ons), Core'dinations Cardstock, button (My Little Bit of Whimsy), Fiskars border punches

Hope you have a chance to play along with this awesome challenge!

Have a great weekend!
