28-4-28 Day 4 - Color Chaos!

lilacgal, LOVE that layout! It's so pretty. Thanks for the challenge

Here is mine. Your challenge created a kind of serendipity situation for me. I had these photos pulled out, thinking I might use them for DawnMcD's diecut challenge.

Awhile ago I had picked up the background pp from Treasured Memories. (They print some of their own). The photos are actually from October and I had been thinking of really working the black cat theme for that, but never got around to it.

And I had just received the February kit from Scrapbooking Fanatics with all kinds of pink in it. I don't often use pink anymore, now that the girls are older, but right after I read the challenge I spied these photos on the desk, saw her socks in the one photo and decided to run with it.

So here you go: Monochrome PINK with lots of black (neutral, right?) and a little gold (metallic)

This is going to be a tough one for me.

Great LOs posted so far!

That IS an unusual colour combo, but it works!  Love the photo blocking and all those piled in snowflakes!

okay i am ready to get started LOL. QUestion is, do i start with the Feb 1 challenge or work backwards?? I guess I will see how i am inspired.

Great Layout lilacgal! (i dont know how to tag you!)

okay a very quick layout using a SG kit! Keep the inspiration coming!

mikklyn that color was my son's choice LOL. I wanted more of an aqua, but pink is his favorite color and he's the family baker, so pink it is

so much creativity and beauty in this thread!

My layout is grey-based and I was inspired by anniefb's beautiful layout in the Lift the Peas challenge thread

grey on white ledger paper background with a grey on grey chevron border strip and a tiny little strip of black cardstock - both on the left. Two photos (4x6) matted in black stacked on the right. Added a black cardstock flourish cut with my Cricut under the photos. Used white foam letters on the border for my title (MIKASA) and made a tiny Japanese flag from cardstock (cut with the cricut) right above the title. That 1/2" red circle in the flag is the only spot of colour - everything else is grey/white/black.

photos are of the museum ship Mikasa in Yokosuka, Japan

another one for me for this challenge - 2 page layout scraplifted from BH's Creative Sketches vol. 2 pg. 19 (top) in blues (with some white/beige as neutrals).

background is a grey-blue - I used a beige/blue map patterned paper on the top half of each page and a strip of white cardstock through the middle of the page. Various sized circles of white, navy, and beige are scattered on the page - some half on, half off and/or crossing between the pages. Page one has 2 horizontal photos matted in white with a navy rectangle underneath them in the top left corner. My title "Yokosuka Harbour Tour" is on white matted with Navy and centred at the bottom. Page two has two photos matted in white and then navy - top is centred above the white strip, bottom is at right lower corner and there's a Navy anchor die cut (QK) on a partial circle to the left of it.

photos taken by DS last summer in Japan

How awesome - what a shame you couldn't go too. DS is stationed in Okinawa - right now I'm scrapping photos from his trip to Yokosuka and Tokyo last summer. He just left today on leave to Singapore and Malaysia - I'm looking forward to photos from there also.

I made a layout today, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to photograph it. Bad lighting here after the sun goes down. Goodnight y'all.

This was a tricky challenge for me & then I chose to do one of the trickiest colors for a scrapbooker- ORANGE. I am glad that we were allowed neutrals! Our dear friends got married this fall & asked my husband to be their Officiant. It was a lovely wedding incorporating both American & Filipino culture & traditions. The bride's favorite color is orange, but she only used it as an accent color to her neutral color pallet. 28-4-28 Day 4- Color by Pati Nuce, on Flickr
