Faded, like memories.

July 23rd, 2010

We always think we’ll remember.
But we won’t — at least not in full color and vivid detail.
We can however, tell stories that will bring to mind some of our memories, faded.

Even Better: Draw a connection between this yesterday and today.

Use this combination to create a layout and post it in the I Love Color Flickr gallery by Thursday, July 29th at noon (pacific time) to make yourself eligible for FREE Core’dinations cardstock.

Pie in July.

July 2nd, 2010

In my opinion, the only thing better than a rich, chewy brownie is a slice of fresh cherry or berry pie in the summer.
I love to find color inspiration in beautiful food, don’t you?

Flowers to the Rescue

June 11th, 2010

Nothing says it’s going to be O.K., like a bouquet.
Fresh flowers lift my spirit and freshen my outlook. When I’m feeling low, I buy myself flowers (learned that trick a long time ago) and find that just walking by and soaking in the color is healing.

Even Better: Incorporate flower embellishments on your page.

Scrap Your Greens!

June 5th, 2010

We (in Spokane) have had a rainy, rainy spring which means the world out my window is an array of verdant green. The next time you notice something green, pay attention. How many greens is it really? We know that it is healthy to “eat your greens,” I say it’s time we scrap some greens too!

green combo edamame

Challenge: Use at least three different greens on a scrapbook page.

Even better: Pair this most universal color with photos that stir feelings of hope, gratitude, compassion and/or security.

Note: You could be really healthy and munch on edamame while you scrap!

Use this combination to create a layout and post it in the I Love Color Flickr gallery by next Thursday, June 10th by 6:00 pm (pacific time) to make yourself eligible for FREE Core’dinations cardstock.
