You Hug Me…

Coming to you a little late from the Color Room Palette #114, this layout I created a week or so ago.  Monochromatics have never challenged me so much!  In the end though, it was worth the effort to sort this one out. 

 

Here’s my take. The gold is there, really… but I used a metallic and it photographed kind of dull. 

The large traced letters were inspired by a layout I found on Pinterest from Janna Werner (the girl has mega talent!)

Thanks for taking a peek!

4 A Moment of Peace

My daughter, the summer she was 4, liked to pull the wagon around to the front of the house. She would chase off her brother, then sit under the tree for long periods of time. It was her way of finding a few moments of peace and quiet. She also met quite a few of the neighbors during that time, as they would come over and speak with her.  I used The Color Room Palette #113 for this layout.

Here is my take.  Lots of paint and mist on this one!

Dare 2 Dream

I played along at The Color Room this week!  I used some Pink Paislee from a few different lines, and just a touch of Cosmo Cricket. 

Thanks for the inspiration, Color Room!

Achievement Awards

When it comes to design, there are few things I love more then playing with color palettes.  I love that so many times while the palette does not initially inspire me, the layouts turn out to be some of my favorites.  That is the case with the layout I am about to show you.  It’s an early frontrunner in my top layouts of 2012 “contest.”

I use the newest palette from The Color Room to create it:

While using this “His Room” palette, my layout turned into a very feminine page using the Jubilee line from K&Co.

Thanks for coming by!

My Favorite Layouts of 2011

I did this Top 10 post last year, and I loved the opportunity to look back and see what I had created over the course of the year.  I can’t believe it’s that time again!  But it is, so today’s post will feature layouts, while tomorrows post will be top 10 other (non layout) projects.











Ok, that’s 11… but I couldn’t decide which one to take out, so there you have it.  What surprises me most about this list is how many boy layouts I did!  I guess I am officially out of my girly-layout rut!  I’ll be back tomorrow with my top picks for “other-then-layouts!” 
See you around!

Chilin' on a Sunday

Sunday afternoon is often just a resting, chilling out time at our house.  I used last week's TCR palette to create this layout:

I'm a little late in posting, but what a great palette!  I really enjoyed this one.  Thanks for the inspiration, TCR!

I am back at TCR!

After many long weeks of not having time to play with color at The Color Room, I am back!  It was so much fun being back in the groove and playing with this fun palette:

This is a little bit of everything all thrown on one page- trying to get back in the groove again!

You can't read all the words in the photo, but it says: "Those Blue Eyes = Game over for mom!"

Thanks for the inspiration, TCR!
