Soaking in the Sun

Today I am playing along with two challenges. The first challenge is a new Blog I have been visiting. I have wanted to play along from the beginning, but was unable to squeeze in some creative time. It is the new Close To My Heart Color My Heart ~ Color Dare Blog. This is their 5th challenge and the dare is one of my favorites! Create-your-own Rainbow based on the color wheel!

The other challenge is for Inspired By Blog that had this great photo inspiration this week.

The page I created for these two challenges is from a recent vacation to the beach. I was able to brighten the photo with the surrounding rainbow colors and the pattern is from the inspiration photo. What appears to be a fairly simple layout was actually quite time consuming, but I {heart} the result!



Get Well ~ Color Dare

There is a new color challenge blog that "dares" us to use Close To My Heart color combinations. This is the second challenge using the colors of Chocolate, Twilight, Goldrush and Pear. My husband called me while at work asking me for a "get well" card. It's for a co-worker he said, so no frilly ribbons or flowers!! Here is what I came up with. My hubby was satisfied with the result.

Please visit CTMH Color Dare blog and play along with the challenge too....if you dare!
