Layout from my self-imposed paint challenge

Here is the layout I just did after choosing a 3-color combo from my paint stash. I chose the red/orange/purple paints and decided not to just use the color combination, but to use the paints themselves. The background paper is from http://www.papermojo.com/. They have DELICIOUS papers there, and you can even buy little samples. Photo is of my poor little Ben, who seems to have my bug bite sensitivity. :(

More color fun

It is hard for me to remember it now, but I used to be afraid of color. I did LOTS of black and white and my color schemes were usually fairly calm. NO MORE! When I saw this week's color combo challenge at Scrapperie, I instantly had an idea. These Sassafras Lass papers were just the thing. Here is what I cane up with, followed by the color combo presented:

Colors, colors everywhere!

I was putting away some paint the other day on my paint shelf, and it struck me how many fun color combinations were right there in front of me for the choosing! I always just stick them back randomly, and this was a great reminder to me to keep my eyes open all around me for fun color possibilities. Stay tuned - I'm going to see if I can use one of these 3-hue combos to make a little something. :)
