Color Fusers--May Color Challenge!

Hi friends! Welcome to another fun Color Fusers Blog Hop! We are so happy you are here. Each month our Blog Hop team creates projects with our monthly color challenge—sometimes it really is a challenge! But its a fun way to create with a color combos that are unique and different, and this month is no exception as we are crafting with Pebbled Path, Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve!

This past weekend was National Scrapbook Day so in honour of that, I have created a scrapbook page with this color combination for May.

I won’t lie, I actually found this a tough color combination as Moody Mauve isn’t necessarily a color I gravitate too.

I started with Bubble Bath as my base and I traced a paper plate with pencil onto the middle of my 12x12 page. This gave me the ‘cicle’ shape to use as guideline for my design.

Isn’t this a cute picture of Hawkins? I came across it recently and I thought it was pefect for this page

My picture is matted on Pebbled Path and offset to the left. From here I did some stamping to poke out from underneath the picture following the circle that I traced. I added a little tab of Pebble Path ribbon at the top of the picture and a scallop border along the edge.

I cut ‘My Bestie’ out with the Alphabet a la Mode Dies with a Foam Adhesive Sheet underneath to give them some lift. After that I just started stamping and collaring a variety of flowers to place around my traced circle, erasing the pencil as I went.

I used a combination of dies with card stock and DSP to help create my page. I even pulled out some retired heart embellishments that I have been hoarding!

I really love the design of this scrapbook page and I will probable recreate it with a different picture and color combination in the future. YES! I often use my own pages for inspiration, especially when I am feeling stuck. Plus, I have 3 kids—so eventually all of these pages will be divided up amongst then, so why not use a design you love more than once?

The stamp sets I used to create this layout were:

Flowers of Beauty
Textured Floral

I found that they worked really well together!

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the Team has created with Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path this month. I do know that you will find lots of inspiration throughout the blog hop.
