Ok, I gave the red inky background a go. It's not something I'll repeat (at least not in this colour), but I guess I'm glad I've tried it...? I had to add a tiny splash of colour in the rainbows because it was just too flat and blah without it, and I snuck a couple of purple inked stars into my background to match the playdoh. The inky part is definitely more red irl although I kind of like the more pink tones in the scanned image.  |

Yes, i think that inky background is stunning @chinagirl! I like the small pops of colour for sure but the background looks amazing!

I tried doing the blended background like Shimelle did and I hated it. This was my third attempt at getting the background to work for me so I'm glad I (finally) changed over to the smooshing technique which is much more my style. I really love how the red ink layered up. |

The stars over the red background are simply perfect, Chinagirl828! I just love the pictures too. Such cute ones! I wish I had some pictures of kindergarten me to scrapbook now. |

Chinagirl828, I really like your stars-your playdough LO is really fun! I hear you about the ink blob. I did the "blend" and while I don't hate it, it is not a technique I will most likely be persuing. I didn't have a star stencil, so I just punched some stars in white cardstock in one size and used a star stamp with the other ones.  385B36DF-8520-4C57-B531-E719A5D37EE4 by K Mage, on Flickr

Here is mine with the inking and the stenciled stars. I covered up my red ink blob with layers or stickers--can't remember where it was now, but definitely outside the blended circle and the photos and mats.
I also used a couple of her orange LO's as models for some pages I constructed at the crop this past weekend. But I didn't end up using orange as my base colour.

grammadee, I really like that! I think the hint of inky blob works better than an obvious one! Love the wood shapes you brought in too.

Has she said when the orange inky video will be up? I just got an email with a video link in it about 20 min ago, so I think that must be it. The email said it was the last orange video. I better get crackin' lol |

I want that Mickey coffee stamp set! I found it on Ink Road, but it’s sold out. 😫
Cute page. Very low key for Shimelle! It was odd watching her scrap photos of a “stranger”, not of her or WB. 😆

grammadee I love your take on the inky background! I've left some love in the gallery. I haven't watched the video yet for the last orange layout, but I really like the finished page so I'm looking forward to it.

I'm also not a fan of the diagonal background kmage so we shall see if I end up doing that or something else. Off to leave you love in the gallery. |

Because I usually do double page spreads, that page design doesn't often work for me. But I had a one pager to do, so I did a page with a diagonally split half & half background, but went with teal and off-white rather than orange.
Your bright page is delightful, kmage. I have that paper somewhere: I love how you used it! |

this one is a leeettttllleee bright, you may want to grab some sunglasses lol. That's how I felt about my orange page using this design too, way more pattern than I typically use. |

Chinagirl828, when I left love in the gallery I didn't even think "oh, here's her orange layout" so I guess you nailed it  I haven't got to orange yet. Did 2 for red, trying to move forward today with either inky red, or leap forward to orange!

Chinagirl828, love all that orange, and your titles are so fun! Mine tend to be things like, "The Lake". I should probably ask for title help here, lol. I also really like your 4 photo combo. The placement is excellent and tells the story right off the bat. Did you catch the live yesterday, the last min yellow one? It was really fun, and I don't mind having an extra week of yellow. I am behind!

I didn't see it live (it was the middle of the night here) but I had it playing while I worked yesterday. I also plan to lift that page as I've been using this class to catch up on some older albums. I'm also glad for the extra yellow week so I have more time to get pages done, but I was also a little frustrated that she just went radio silent on the status of the class over the last week. I get that things happen, but a quick email saying there were issues with the videos once uploaded would have gone a long way and I really dislike the "that's ok, take all the time you need, we don't mind" attitude on paid products. I would much rather wait for the class to start so all the videos could be recorded and everything ready to go to prevent these issues. |

And here's my take on the muted rainbow of colours. I used mostly 6x6/6x8 pads and scraps so my layering is a little more spread out as a result. I also decided against the diagonal half and half background as it's not really my style, and I wanted this beloved Sassafrass background to show. I'm now caught up on all the orange pages so it's on to yellow week!  |

Did you get the Easter egg bubble o’ bill released this year? We missed out 😞 |

My first layout for yellow week, based on the bonus live. The dots were meant to be mostly yellow but I obviously had some ink residue left on my stencil as they all came out with a blue/green tint. I managed to use some stuff that has been in my stash for quite a while though, so at least that's a win!  |
