#267- Use warm, summer colors

Merry Monday everyone! Tammy here with your new challenge!  I just came back from a weekend away camping...here in Canada we always know when it's summer because everyone is camping - rain or shine!  My theme this week is to use warm sunny colors - oranges, reds, yellows, turquoise, bright green - any of those fun summer colors that just warm you inside and out!
Can't wait to see what you create and to get the mojo flowing, here is some inspiration from the DT!


For this project, I decided to go with a vintage feel using oranges, reds, yellows, and turquoises to showcase one of my favorite pictures of my daughter gardening with her dog.


For this summer project, I thought of the tropics and my granddaughter climbing a palm tree!

Amy here with a pocket page spread for this weeks challenge. I have used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio You Rock collection to make the 4x6 cards as these had some vibrant pops of the warm summer colours this challenge calls for. I then used other PL cards to fill in the blanks and pops of bright embellishments to finish this off.

Alice K.
I made a set of ATC cards with summery colors and a summery theme.


perfect colours for a pool fun page! 
Happy summer everyone!

Tina
I stuck more with the oranges, reds and yellows for this page

#266 - Patterned Papers

Hello, everyone! We hope you all enjoyed our Summer Fun Blog Hop last week! It's Lori here today to bring you this week's challenge.

This week my challenge to you is to use a minimum of 5 patterned papers on your project. You can use more than 5 patterned papers, but you must have at least 5 on your project. Here is my card that I created for this challenge:

I have used exactly 5 different patterned paper on my card.



Here are the beautiful projects from the rest of the design team:

Amy.L
I created this layout using a variety of patterned papers I had left over from my May Kitaholic Kit (main kit). I used plain white cardstock as the background so as to make the paper layers pop more. 


Gail

I used Kaisercraft - Barber Shoppe paper for this layout of my dad at work in the mid-1950s. Sketch is by Rochelle Spears - Scraproom.  I've also done another layout using the same products. You can check it out on my blog here.  


Including the grounding pattern paper I used 5 papers plus 2 cutaparts to make a total of 7 different pattern papers (good time to use scraps on a layout :)



I managed to use 6 scrap patterned papers on this planner dashboard cover for my daughter.



Such beautiful projects from the design team! We hope you can find some time to play along with us this week!

Highlights #265 Bohemian Rhapsody

Thank you for everybody who joined this week's challenge. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' might not have been the easiest theme, but we enjoyed seeing the projects you all presented. It is always interesting to see how different the interpretations can be.
The challenge was all about gypsy-like abundance, and these three projects captured it nicely.

 This beautiful, happy spread is simply stunning. At first you see the colors, then you start noticing the different elements, then the texture and incredible detail. MA-MI in Slovenia, well done!



Ciska's scrapbooking layout on a recent family visit is rich and detailed. It has dotted, patterned and flower papers, ribbons, hearts, words oh my! It has lots of elements yet it avoids being busy, it is just nice and rich and cosy like the life itself. Thank you for joining us!


AJ entered with this card. Take a closer look you and you can see the many details. The background is richly patterned with diverse stamping. The focal point flower has been nicely painted, the glass stones bring richness to it. A perfect happy day card to send out just so.


Nice work ladies! Keep your entries coming. Thanks to you all for playing along and I hope that you are joining us for this week's blog hop!
