I have finally decided to sit down & create something inspired by the new Color Room challenges. I've had intentions of playing along with them on their first 4 color palettes, but since SRM Stickers is sponsoring them this month, I thought that now was the perfect time to join them. So, here's what I made using the color palette for Challenge #5...
I can honestly say that I rarely use purple in my layouts, but this challenge, like all the others, requires you to use different color combinations than you would normally use. And I like that it helps to stretch your creativity. On the other hand, I also really like that they give you a sketch to use with that color combo... which keeps you from having to stretch your creativity TOO much! LOL! I wouldn't say my colors are exact matches, but the page was certainly inspired by it AND I got to use my new Crate Paper "Paper Doll" chipboard stickers that I just got in the mail yesterday! The rest of the layout is old, old scraps from my scrap files... just pulled from the purple & green files! And... I used a couple SRM Stickers... but OF COURSE!
I've already been to the grocery store, the Y for my work-out, finished a project & had a quick lunch. Now I need to get ready to go to school. The 3rd graders are having a Mother's Day Tea party and performance. Evidently I'm going to need a few Kleenex for it. There goes the mascara...
Love this very mush Deana!Those colors look great and I love your stitching and that journaling is really fun!!
Beautiful!Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Gotta love color. I will have to check out the challenges. Your layout is so pretty in purple. I have yet to create a layout in purple but a little color challenge might be fun. Love your layout. Thanks for inspiring me today. Hugs,Amy
