| COLOR COMBO GALORE Hello!!! I hope everyone is fine! I'm so happy because I'm going to take two weeks off from work, yesss! I really need it! This is a long holiday weekend here, we're celebrating Labor Day this next Monday. For that reason, I will show you three pages in this post, I'm going on a trip with my family around the island. This month's theme in Color Combo Galore is all about books and reading. This week's Designer challenge: Focus on Type-Dictionary or Text type prints and an unusual but lovely color combo, I really love these challenges!!!! And this was my inspiration..... |
 |
| I made this page about my son Alexander when he had 3 1/2 years old. One day I came to the room and I found him with his daddy glasses and acting like his dad. I got my camera and took this photo. I used Basic Grey papers, Dusty Attic chipboard, CTMH chipboard and papers and American Craft & Bazzil cardstocks. More details.... |
 |
 |
 |
| I rolled the stripes of printed text pattern papers, then I distressed them with Vintage Photo. I painted the wooden sticks. I tie the rolled stripes with the wooden sticks and made this big mat. I would like to see what you can create with this 207 CCG, you can see what beauties the Design Team made here....http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com/forum/topics/color-combo-challenge-207 |
 |
| Go to Color Combo Galore....(HERE) SCRAPFIT WORKOUT#51 It's time to show some Salt & Pepper on your layout or card! This means that black and white are your main colors but you can use only one more color. I'm making a b/w and coral colors wedding album for my sister- in- law and brother, so this goes perfect for it! I used the sketch from My Creative Sketches Blog. This is a new sketch monthly challenge blog, you can see it ....(HERE) |
 |
| I used some tulle, prima flowers, charms, CTMH chipboard, American craft alphas and some stuff from my kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This is the sketch .... |

THE (PAPER) TRAIL MAKERS Karen the owner of Paper Trail store asked us, the Design Team, to make a page or card with a bit of vintage thrown in! The vintage can be in the papers, in the colors, ephemera, in the photos, etc... I made this page when my little sister was celebrating her 4th birthday. My mom had this picture and i'd like to work with it. I'm the middle one at right side, my sister is the little one at front of mine and we are in the photo with our neighbor Martita. Lovely memory!!! |

Wow! que te puedo decir!!! La página de tu chico me encantó una paleta de colores bien diferente pues nunca hubiera pensado en poner lila y rojo juntos pero de verdad que se ve brutal!!! Me encanta la dimensión del mat de la foto y la página de libro con el tag le dan ese look vintage. Preciosa página. La página de la novia está bien elegante y me gusta que no le añadiste muchos detalles pues la foto es la estrella y no necesita muchos embellishments. El toque de color que le añadiste es justo lo que necesitaba. La última página me encantó el papel de tickets. todas las flores están bellas, me gustó lucho la ramita de árbol.
ReplyDeleteGracias por compartir tu hermoso talento y siempre excelente inspiración.

Beautiful and gorjuss! Me encanto esos colores y que nice se ve aunque sea de varon el LO icluiste plumas y el color rojo y lila quedo de showww!, LOL!Los demas LO's estan preciosos y el que tiene muchas flores con tonos azul me fascino. Un abrazo mi amiguita, Zulma
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous LO's, Marilyn! Love the rolled paper in the first, the soft flowers and feathers against the B/W in the second, and that beautiful spray of flowers/butterflies in the last. Thanks for the inspiration! ~ Blessings
