Pink Lemonade and Cotton Candy..... Color Combos Galor #184

Hello Again :)

Just posting my layout for this week's 

Color Combo's Galore Challenge

 Aren't those Colors just Totally Gorgeous????

 And they do just remind me of Pink Lemonade and Cotton Candy....

"Love Vintage"

Vintage Images from Magic Moonlight

I so wanted to create something soft and sheer and positively romantic....

The other part of the Challenge was to be Inspired by

The Fashion Shoot and the Use of Sheer Fabrics....

So have used the gorgeous sheer crepe organza flowers 

By Prima in "Lemonade" and "Blush"

And the "Pink Organza" Rose Ribbon by Teresa Collins....

The gorgeous frame and other laser cut pieces
Are by Dusty Attic....

 It took me ages to work out why I loved this palette so very much.....

It reminded me of something....????

And then the penny dropped......:)

Another of my Favorite Layouts... I used a very similar palette...

"Cherish"

And just incase you missed my last post...

Please take a moment to keep reading below.....

It's all about....

 

 A fabulous new  

Sketch Challenge Blog.....

The Color Room #49 Lovely Memories

Honestly I don't know if I have done any justice to this week's 

 Color Room Challenge 
But here goes...

It is a totally gorgeous... but tricky palette to get the colors right....

And I think I have managed that part ok....

But honestly my LO just didn't turn out as I had hoped....

I don't know if it is because I'm not really a white space scrapper???

I soo want to splatter back ink on the spaces... but I just cant find the courage....

It's the only piece of that color pink cardstock I have....
And just think I would totally wreck it....
I so admire those that can and the layouts just look fabulous!!!

However ....I think this will definitely help me get over the depression of my LO....

The Color Room

Is celebrating 50 Gorgeous Palettes!!!

With a  

Blog Hop Not to be Missed!

We will be Hopping through the Amazing Designers Blogs, 

Seeing what they created with the 50th palette......

And there will be more fun to be had!

(Oh and the Hop will be open for the entire week, so there will be plenty of time to go through them.) 

Each Blog will have something to share and then its your turn to do the palette for the week.   

I am definitely looking forward to it :)

Hope you are ready to Hop!

Will be back tomorrow with a little bit of Shabby Chic.....:)

See you then....
