color fever challenge

Played along with the Color Fever Challenge from Heidi Swapp's blog this week.

I went for the Seafoam, and Coral...
mainly because I really wanted to use the large XO ephemera from the Mixed Company Ephemera.
Love the scale of those letters against the size of the photos.

And not that I need an excuse to use butterfly embellies...
but I have to comment on the visual association here...
time seems to be flying by me at an alarming rate.
For my youngest daughter to have just celebrated her tenth birthday astonishes me. Alot.

Hidden journaling was needed for me to share some words with this girl.
So I colored a Jumbo Tag with Coral Color Shine and tucked it behind the main body of this layout.
I love to hide these messages on these layouts.
Some day she will be going through her album and discover it and have a little bit of serendipity waiting for her.
at least i hope so.

hope you are inspired by these sweet colors to play along with us.
if you link up to instagram with the tags #hscolorfever or #hsheidiswapp be sure to tag me too, @jamiepate, as I would love to see what inspired you from this.

have a fabulous day.

color fever

Today's post involves color. Lots and lots of color. 

Today I am posting over at Heidi Swapp and the theme is Color Fever.

We decided to play up Mint Green, Tropicana Teal, Chartruese, and Tinsel.

For this assignment, I decided to keep things simple (read: just got back from CHA and lots of assignments on my desk not to mention  the priority of my family so this is what I did)...know what I mean?
But seriously, this was to keep the focus on color. And with Color Shine as the foundation of this project, I think I was successful in doing just that.

 There is a write up over at Heidi's blog. So I invite you to go there to read more about the why of this layout.

And here I will share with you the how, of this project::

This layout starts with textured white cardstock.
A piece of Vintage Chic pattern paper was used as a secondary background. Trimmed to about 8 1/2 x 11 inches.
The layers under the 4x4 photo start on the bottom in the following order:
~doily
~a piece of the Bookkeeping Vintage Chic paper
~vellum  - reinforce with the green Day Glow Neon tape at the lower left corner
~notched piece of the dots side of Beautiful Vintage Chic
~place Color Magic Note Card sprayed in Tinsel Color Shine at upper right hand corner of papers
~tuck Vintage Chic Note Card under above Note card at the lower right corner of the papers.
~a 4 1/2 x 2 inch notched Beautiful Vintage Chic paper (the dot side) is layered next
~add pop up adhesive to the photo and place over all papers

Now for some ‘tuck in’ embellishments:
Spray white textured card stock with the Chartreuse Color Shine. Punch with a tab paper punch and tuck behind photo at the top.
Tuck a white small shipping tag and a Vintage Chic Mini Tag under the photo along the left side .
Spray three pieces of scallop Artisan Ribbon with Tinsel, Chartreuse, and Mint Green Color Shine. Layer a top one another and sew to background paper just below photo.
Add Vintage Chic Mini Tags on the Note Card and layer a Buzz Word arrow (“HAPPY DAY”) . Add the arrow with pop up adhesive.
Add BuzzWord butterflies with pop up adhesive.
Place “happiness” BuzzWord to the right of the layers. Add a hash tag from the Glitter Alpha next to the title. Place a “happiness” Definition Sticker below and add Day Glow Neon Tape.
Sew small portion of scallop Artisan Ribbon sprayed with Tinsel Color Shine to top left of layout. Add a strip of Neon Tape with a part of a Sentiment Sticker attached to the top.

When it was all placed, I added splotches of Color Shine in Tropicana Teal, Chartreuse and Tinsel. On Heidi's blog I share how I got those to splotch like they do.

Thanks for stopping in today. Hoping next time is not as much time between posts. Appreciate your comments.
