Colour Challenge No. 06

Happy Halloween! Things are a little low key as my elephant (spencer) & penguin (makenna) rest up for a big afternoon/evening of trick or treating. This is the first year that Spencer REALLY understands the whole concept & is so flipping excited! Makenna is just along for the ride. :)

So it has been awhile since we have run a colour challenge so i thought, hey today is the day. The colour scheme is not halloweeney at all ... but fun. Well i think so. :)



And here is my page:


Some fun products from the DD Store:






Be sure to link us up to your layout & I will post them for us all to enjoy next week!

Colour Inspiration No. 05

Hello its kayleigh! Well isn't this a long overdue post from me? We were away on vacation with Eric's whole family at a cottage on the lake. We were told that there was internet there ...there was but you had to be sitting close to their office & be veeerrrryyyy patient. I tried to download something that may take a minute here and there an hour and half! But i did get some scrapping done, lots of beach time, good meals and lots of family time. Oh and the highlight for me: kicking my brother in laws *beep* at bowling on the the Wii bowling during our family tournament.

Then unfortunatly when we got home Makenna was sick with a double ear infection and we struggled to get back in the routine of home with regular naps and bedtimes. And i was also working like crazy to meet a deadline for a little something-something i am working on online. Thats all the hints i am giving you and will tell you soon - when i can! :)

Anyways today i bring you a colour challenge, its been awhile so i thought that we were due for one. Not going to lie the page started this challenge. This colour scheme is refreshing with a hint of girly or it could be over the top girly. Remember you can mix up the amounts of colour on your page to work for you. And you can always change the colours saturation to work as well. And if you don't have specific photos that come to mind to work with the scheme you could always try black and white or sephia.



On my photos i used a photoshop action from pioneer woman called seventies. I wanted to make the page look kinda "vintagey" (ya i made that word up!) so i thought this action worked well.


Here are a couple pages from the Designer Digitals Gallery to get the inspiration flowing!

Love the design of this page by Doris aka echogirl. Beautifully done. :)


Love the layering that Nath does on her pages. She has such a ease at making it all come together perfectly.


This page by Heidi is so great - love the blocking of paper & photos.


So many cool elements in here - like the fork!


This kit is just beautiful by Lynn, love her twisty ribbons!


This alpha in this fun kit by Lynn is one of my all time faves! Great buttons in here too.


These papers are stunning and there have been so many cool pages posted in the designer digitals gallery with them. The solids have a stunning texture to them.


Michelle Martin creates amazing patterned papers that i LOVE! That rose coloured floral paper is beautiful.


Some etsy inspiration would be fun as well.
This print is very cool!


How cute is this hat?


This looks so cozy for your coffee.


Love these poms!


These are so stinking cute!!


Have a good week and if you do a page based on this scheme don't forget to link us up! - kayleigh

Colour Inspiration No. 04

Today i bring you some inspiration with a fresh colour scheme to get your mojo going. I have been a huge fan of teal blue & limey green for ages (two of the colours in Makenna's room) so i thought it would be a great pallette.



Here is the page i posted earlier today. This new kit of Katie's is ADORABLE, its called On the Go & is coming this weekend to the store! I dug up these photos of Spencer so i could use this kit.


I pulled up some products in the designer digitals store that jumped into my mind when i thought of this colour scheme.






Here are a couple pages i had in my fave folder that showcase this colour scheme:
Nath has such a way with papers & elements, so many of her pages arrive in my fave folder. Check out this total masterpiece below.


This page is by LeeAndra, the bits of brushwork & pieces of paper are nice touches.


of course i had to have a quick gander over at etsy to share some inspiration. An hour later & about 20 tabs open of all the different inspiration to show you... i am adding a few of them to this posting & trying not to add some of these to my cart. enjoy!

At first when i pulled this beauty of a thing up i thought it was a hair clip & thought that it was beautiful, but i couldn't see it in my hair ... but now i am realizing it is a magnet! I have to shop around some more at this store!


How cute is this alphabet print!? Love the font they used & the little animals they added.


This hat is adorable!


This wool is just so pretty to look at.


Hope you are feeling a little inspired now!

Colour Inspiration No. 03

Hello everyone, I'm a little under the weather today, but on the weekend I fell in love with a colour combo and I just had to do a layout using these colours. I was searching the Gap Clothing website looking for clothes for Addison, when I came across this collection. The collection also was calling me because it is the same name as the city I live in! Too funny :) I hope these colours inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Don't forget to link us to your pages in the comments field. We would love to see what you guys come up with :)-Happy Scrapping! - Tara

Colour Inspiration No. 02

Today i am going to inspire you to create a page with a refreshing colour pallate. These colours can be used in various quantities on your page for a completely different look each time. Have fun playing around with this combo!



Here is the page i created using this inspiration. I used the colours in small quantities in the paper pieces. Of course the papers had to be stitched down!


And here are some products from the Designer Digitals store to get your mojo going:

Colour Inspiration No. 01

Hello friends, it's Kayleigh here to bring you a new type of blog posting. I am pretty stinkin' excited about this & hope you are too! Today I bring you a colour palate to spark your creativity. I've seen this idea a few other places & thought i would share a scheme with you. Try playing with the colours in various quantities on your page for different looks. A red background vs a neutral background will change the page completely. Also try playing with patterns to add more interest to your page.



Here is my page that i created using this scheme:


I chose blue as my main colour for the background paper. I used pops of red for a splash of impact & to keep the eye moving around the page. Then used the neutrals to ground the page. Try playing with the colours in various saturation's for more visual interest.

Here are few products that might help your mojo to get going, i found lots of great products available at Designer Digitals!














Have fun with this idea & let your mojo flow today. Please link us to your page here if you create a page using this colour scheme. Do you have a favourite colour scheme that you fall back to regularly? Or one that you are drawn too? - kayleigh
