The Color Room Palette #34

So I love to play along at The Color Room when I get a chance. They have weekly challenges and they give you inspiration via a theme photo, color palette and sketch. Here is this weeks inspiration block:

So one thing I love about my daughter having a face book page is that I get extra photos of her to work with. This one she took herself in a mirror? Amazing photo, I love it. Plus it shows off her new glasses, so sophisticated right? Anyway, I love how these vibrant palette colors popped against a black background!

She is growing up way too fast. But I am so blessed to have her.

Let me know what you think of the layout...

Painted Frame Tutorial at Scrap and Stamp

This week at Scrap and Stamp there is a tutorial on how to paint a frame on photos. It is sooo easy and the results really add punch to your photos. Just pop over to the blog and join  in the fun, you now have TWO WEEKS to complete a challenge! That's right we have made a few changes on the challenge blog and extended deadlines for chalenges.

Also this weeks sponsor is Hambo Stamps you can check them out here.  They are providing the prize for the winner of the challenge!

Here is my take on this weeks challenge. A lovely layout made especially for my Mother. Check out this photo from her senior year, isn't she beautiful! Anyhow I wanted to thank her for all that she does for our family and for being such an extraordinary example of how a christian woman should be. Lots of her favorites on this layout: Pink, Amazing Grace and lots of flowers. Thanks Mom, I love you.
