Color Pallete and Inspiration Board



I was chosen as a featured guest designer for the month of July.  Here is my first layout - a picture of my hubby anxious to use his new kayak so he took it up to the trailer and had to slide it down the big hill and over the snow to the trailer and wait for the lake to thaw

 

so if you are up for a challenge and want to get some layouts done head on over to ColorCombos Galore and see what the rest of the design team have created and give it a try.

Photo of my friend's granddaughter Aly under an umbrella.
For inspiration I used photo 2 with 2 patterns of the embossed pattern and the matching sizzlet in grey with navy stamping, and photo 4 inspired the little pearls similar to the pearls around the cookie.  photo 3 with metal brads on my flowers.  I used navy distress ink and sprayed taupe in a few areas.

CCG243 - Aly"Cat"

here's another layout for ColorCombos Galore colour challenge over http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com/forum/topics/color-combo-challenge-243

 
A neighbour asked my friend's granddaughter if she had a "ticket" and if she did he'd give her an ice cream so she produced an imaginary ticket and plunked herself down in the grass to eat it. She got it all over her and the cat came and helped clean her up.
For inspiration I used photo 4 - the same punch on different papers and a grid pattern on my paper and used tickets instead of journalling tags and photo 1 for the idea to outline my photo with twine to match the tickets.
