Orange! (Color Dare 117)

This week's color dare was to use orange, any shade of orange, on your project. My favorite from CTMH is Autumn Terracotta. We had a beautiful fall this year, and I got some pretty pictures, so I wanted to feature them in a layout this week. I got sick, so I didn't get to make this layout on time, so here it is, 5 days late.

I cased this layout from Annual Inspirations p. 55. The layout is MIFYH vol. 1, pat. 18. I used the Pathfinding paper pack and the Fall Harvest stamp set.

Come join us this week at Color My Heart!

CAS Vintage

I was looking at my Saturday inspirations, and found these challenges:

Sketches: Retro Sketches, 52 Christmas Card Throwdown
Less is More: Non-traditional Christmas colors
Our Creative Corner: Use a Nature Photo and a vintage style
Just Us Girls: Wreath

I found this photo of my girls and their snowman:

So I found it in my file under Feb. 2012, added a Sepia tone in PicMonkey, and edited that big black leaf off of Susanna's face:

Looks pretty vintage-y, right? Then I printed it on cardstock, cropped it down, and added it to a 5x7 card with some layers of black, white and kraft.

I added some pink sparkles for a non-traditional pop of color.

Color Dare 116 with Scaredy Cat

Here's my Scaredy Cat layout for Color Dare 116 - Thistle & Sunset. The layout is Up The Tempo from Imagine.

I used the "halloween" letter stickers to spell out "How Neat" (with the "t" being the upside down "l"). My kids usually pass out candy on Halloween, so I will probably put pictures of that on this page.

Color Dare 113 with Let's Get Together

This week at Color My Heart we're challenging you to use Cranberry, Canary, and Glacier on your project. I used the paper pack Let's Get Together to make a layout. This pack contained Garden Green and Breeze in addition to Cranberry and Buttercup, but I left out the green and substituted a sheet of Glacier cardstock for the Breeze.

I know, these are funny pictures, but my kids and I were just having fun one day comparing our feet, so I grabbed my camera and snapped some photos! It was fun. I was surprised at how well this paper pack matched these pictures, too!

The layout is Elegant Context from Cherish (left side):

So, if you're up for it, grab your scrapping supplies, and come play along with us this week!
