Color Combos Galore Challenge 184

Hello Lovely People!!

Hope the sun is shining brightly in your part of the world today. It seems that we are having a late run at Summer. Even though our Summer has officially ended, the last couple of days have been very balmy with temps in the high 20's.

Today I have a layout share inspired by Color Combos Galore Inspiration Board 184.

Seriously who could resist this

Well .... I couldn't LOL!!

Well this totally gorgeous colour combination and photo is just 'Sheer Delight' and for me screamed a pretty 'girly girl' layout. I was inspired by the word 'delight' and for the Designer's Challenge I have included some American Crafts organza and tulle rolled roses ribbon and an organza Kaisercraft (Magical EM962) Flutterby - I did give this a light misting with some Pink Taffy and a touch of Creme De Cocoa glimmer mist to coordinate with the color combo.

Here is what I came up with

'Sweet Delight'

Little girls are Angels who haven't yet spread their wings

And a closer look

I've mixed things up a bit -Patterned Papers are Kaisercraft Bubblegum Hills (From the Paper Pad), Pink Paislee, Prima and Sassafrass Lass Decorative Edge and stitched element. Blooms - Prima, Kaisercraft and Mini Paper Roses, Dusty Attic Ornate Frame #1 and 'Delight' Chippie Title (available Scrapping Outback), Kaisercraft Sentiment Rubon - Little Girls, Kaisercraft Pearl Flourish and a Teresa Collins Butterfly Rubon - I adhered this to clear plastic so that I could position it better under the photo and also for the transparency - I wanted to be able to see through it.

Thanks ever so much for dropping by

Catch you again soon

Color Combos Galore Challenge 183

Howdy!!

Today my layout share has been inspired by the Color Combos Galore Challenge #183.

This is the inspiration board

And this is my interpretation of Challenge 183

'Love'

Once in awhile, right in the middle of a ordinary life, LOVE gives us a fairytale. The adorable sentiment that I have included is one of the new Kaisercraft rubons - this one is 'childhood'.

And a closer look

The first thing I have to say that these are colours that I generally do not scrap with. But with saying this, I absolutely love how this turned out in the end.

The palette screamed Graphic 45 and I have combined a bit of Steampunk Debunte 'Fantasy Floral' with Le' Romantique 'Loves Labyrith'. I have also used Fancy Pants Road Show for my base and a touch of Echo Park which covers the 'winged white' colour element of the palette.

The overlapping, elongated vertical layers of the dress in the photo inspired me to include layers of elements and the design of my page runs vertically from top to bottom to simulate the fall of the dress.

Most of my layouts will feature some element of chipboard. Here I have included an A2Z chippie title which worked perfectly to satisfy the other 'butterfly' element of the challenge. The circle element is a 'Retro Circle Frame' and is available from Scrapping Outback. This element also represents the butterfly 'eyes' which are seen on their wings.

I love butterflies and find that they are quite magical in the way they flight so gracefully. This magical quality was the essence for my title. It always amazes me the wonder and joy that our little girl finds in even the simplest things in life. Oh the joys of being a child and finding everything unique and wonderous.

Thanks ever so much for dropping by and for your lovely comments - they really do mean so much to me.

Color Combo's Galore Challenge # 182

Howdy!

I have a layout share today that has been inspired by the Color Combos Galore Challenge #182.

This is the inspiration board

I have to say that I really enjoyed playing with the tone on tone aspect of the palette. When I saw this week's inspiration photo, I first thought 'Hubba Hubba -' these guys are heavenly on the eyes'. But rather than use fashion I have chosen the 'heavenly' aspect as my inspiration, I have scrapped a picture of my littlest angel. We think that she is of course 'heaven sent' and she will always be our gorgeous cherub.

This is my interpretation

'Cherub'

And a closer look

I have used a variety of patterned papers including Crate Paper, Creative Imaginations Die Cut, Webster's Pages, Prima and Kaisercraft (Up Up and Away). I have added some Kaisercraft blooms and paper roses (available from Deb's Creations), Prima flourish (thanks Kathie) and Zva Creative Leaf (available Deb's Creations), Kaisercraft Girl rubon sentiment and MME rubons and of course some much loved chippie - this time a Dusty Attic lampost and a word title both of which are available from Scrapping Outback. Think I have covered everthing LOL!!

Once again, lots of layering with different elements. The larger rose blooms are Kaisercraft's Paper Blooms - these ones are 'honey'. They are gorgeous as are the mini paper roses - these are available in Deb's Creations store.

I left the Dusty Attic Lampost in it's 'natural' state and inked the cherub title with Kaisercraft Sandstone Ink and then gave it a coating of frosted lace stickles. I also added some frosted lace stickles to the butterfly.

If you get a chance check out the Color Galore Combos site. The gallery is brimming with wonderful inspiration.

Thanks so much for dropping by and for taking the time to comment.

Bye for now
