The Color Room

The Color Room! Have you been there? Well if you haven't you should! I stumbled onto this site and now it's a new favorite!! They offer a weekly Sketch AND Color Palette!
Here is last weeks Color Palette Number 23.

Here is what I came up with. Although she looks way too old for her age, I love this photo of my daughter. It gives me a glimpse of what she will look like when she's grown up. Big sigh.



Here is this weeks Color Palette Number 24. I'm going to have to go through my paper and see what I can come up with for this one!

Thursday PIT Sketch

Here is the Pages In Time Thursday Sketch. I've already got my wheels turning on this one! Check it out.

Two Pages In One Weekend! WooHooo

Today is the last day to get your entries in for the Pages In Time Online Crop. So far it's been a great crop. I didn't get as many pages done but had fun anyway. I actually worked on cleaning my scrap space and before I even finished it...I messed it up making this!

My page covered THREE Challenges. That's right THREE. Many of the DT allowed combining the challenges. I did Maggie's It's All Relative Challenge, which was to scrap someone going back to school. Well easy enough aaayyyy....I just sent Kelsey back to school. My second challenge was Victoria's and I REALLY had fun with this!! Her challenge was to create a page using actual school supplies! Fun, fun. I used a pencil, paper, staples, an old dictionary page, cork and staples. My third challenge was Carla's Ribbon Challenge and that little purple ribbon finished the page. Speaking of purple??? Get a load of that purple on my page...I barely ever use purple!!


I continued my purple trend with another Ribbon Challenge. I'm not super happy with the photograph for this. It's so much softer and prettier in person, don't ya just hate when that happens!! Oh well I wanted to take a pic before the sun went down but it didn't really matter since it's gloomy. Anyway WootWoot!! Scrap on people!! I'll try again another day for a better pic. I also have a third page to share with you but I don't have that pic in photobucket yet. Will save that for another day since it's not a crop page anyway. I hope all that cropped with us had a good time!

ONLINE CROP STARTS NOW!

Ok Ladies the CROP starts now!! That's right Friday 6PM EST until Sunday September 12at midnight! The Pages In Time DT has been working hard on challenges and games so head on over and start cropping!

I have two challenges for you. My first challenge is a card challenge. Since it's back to school time I chose a PRIMARY COLOR, COLOR CHALLENGE. Make a card using all three primary colors, red, yellow and blue. I used this as my inspiration.

Here is the card I came up with. Post your card over at Pages In Time in the CARD CHALLENGE section and your name will entered to win a RAK from my stash.

For my page challenge I'd like to play teacher for a moment. Remember the first day of school when you were a kid? The teacher almost always had you write a story about what you did on summer vacation. For my challenge I'd like you to scrap your favorite summer moment. Mine was easy. My daughter and something to do with swimming. I used the PIT August Kit for this page. Those Crate Papers are just delicious!! Post your card in the SUMMER MEMORY CHALLENGE by midnight on Sunday for a chance to win another RAK from my stash.


Happy Cropping!!
