So last week I sat down and did the color challenge over on the Crate Paper blog. I couldn't pass this one up, I just found it SO inspiring. And the colors were so out of the ordinary for me.
This was the color challenge:

See!  Isn't it beautiful!  And I knew just what pictures to use with this color scheme.  :)  
So here's my layout:

And the close up's:
*tip: the leftover part of stickers can be a fun addition to any project.  See how under my border sticker, I used part of the leftovers.  :) 
*tip: don't have the color alphabet that you want to use?  Paint them!  That's what I did here, I used black foam letters and then painted them blue.  :)
I splattered paint after the layout was complete simply because it looked like it needed a bit more of the blue on it.  
And here I just stuck a few extra pieces of paper behind the one and curled them all over.  Just trying something new.  :)
I'm happy with how it turned out.  Crate Paper already picked a winner for the challenge as well as some of their favorites, you can view those here.  
Well I hope it stops raining here so I can get some outside work done, like mowing the lawn!  It's rained all week.  And I love the rain, but I am ready for it to stop.  I still have a bunch of wood chips sitting in my driveway, waiting to be moved back to the new swing set.  I'm ready for the sun.  
Thanks for popping in today!  
Have a wonderful day!
