Twist a Tried and True Color Combination

For a new twist on a project, why not start with a tried and true color combination from a holiday, on a non-holiday related project.  Here is page that has summer pictures, with a red and green theme.  This one has quite a bit of red and green, but you could use one color predominantly, and hints of the other.  You could also vary the shades from what we normally think of as the old Christmas red and green.  Also try throwing in a third color and you really lose that holiday feel.

Ready, Set, Scrap

Today is another special month to some of us as we again band together to each complete at least a layout each day each day for the whole month!  Our fearless leader, Lain Ehmann, will be providing scrapbooking prompts for LOAD512 Scrapbooking Outside the Box.  Lain’s blog at LayOutADay.com and her regular podcasts provide inspiration and fun!

During our last LOAD in February, I didn’t post every layout.  I’ll try to do better this month.

Here is a page from today’s prompt — a self portrait.  I find it difficult to scrapbook about myself, but if don’t do it, who will.  I wish I had stories from other women in my family who are no longer with us to share their stories.  I’ll share mine, while I am here and can remember some of them!

I love to know you stopped by, so leave a comment!

The Art of Wild Abandonment

I am having so much fun in a new online class with Junelle Jacobson and Christy Tomlinson, called The Art of Wild Abandonment! These two women are so much fun to create art “with” and we are all having a blast.  How amazing that we can use the internet to find new art friends and share techniques, learn new things, and just share!

Anyway, just wanted share the first project with you — it’s radishes!  Yes, radishes in wild and unexpected ways!  Hope they bring a smile for you today!

Layout A Day 2012 Wrap-up

I got a little behind while I was traveling during part of February, but I caught up to finish my 29 layouts for the month!  I actually did 30 pages, as this last one was a 2-page layout!  We had a great time, and it is so much fun to see the pages everyone was creating and uploading each day to our Flickr.com group.  Congratulations to everyone — you’re each and everyone a star!

Here’s my last layout, showing all the pages I did for the month.
