Challenge 3

The folks at Color Me Scrappy posted their latest challenge two weeks ago and here I am, at the last minute, hurrying to add my page before the buzzer goes off!

The colors this time reminded me a lot of Monet, especially his water lilies. Several years ago I was fortunate enough to get a chance to look at his collection when it was in town at a local art museum. Definitely one of the highlights of that particular year for me.

Anyway, here are the colors:

When I first saw this, my immediate thoughts were soft, warm, and inviting.

I did enjoy working with these particular colors, though green is not something I would normally scrap in. Unless, of course, I was doing some sort of outdoor themed page. 

Lots of fun, creative ideas popped into my head this time, but I wanted to focus on utilizing layers and shapes. Overall, I think this was one of my better pages. I think the antique looking Western family picture goes well with the colors. 

Hope you enjoy this current layout. I had a lot of fun making it!
