I'll be back late with the next challenge - Hope your morning's aren't too frosty. Nice to be able to get up a little later coz of the school holidays. Hope you enjoy your day!

Crate Paper Restoration

Wow didn't realise it had been a whole week since I've been on here. I'm catching up - finally. Today here in Nelson it's cold and very wet - great day to get up to date.

This paper range from Crate Paper has arrived in store and really lovely. Great quality double sided papers in old fashioned colours that would do both boys & girls layouts. Take a look and see for yourself.

Challenge Winner ...

Yah! Found it!

These are the colours to use for your Colour Challenge. Finally found what I was looking for and should have guessed that it came from a Creating Keepsakes magazine. The title reads "warm up pastels with cream and brown" - warm neutrals like cream, tan and brown bring a cozy glow to your pastel colour schemes.

Use the colours for inspiration, can be brighter in hues or paler whichever you like, but your layout must only include these colours. You decide how much or little of each colour.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Colour Challenge ...

Well that will teach me! I enjoyed the Nelson sunshine on the weekend ( a rare event with most weekends being wet) and read too many magazines. Now I can't remember which one I saw the colour scheme in that I want to use. Should have put it aside when I saw it - never mind.

I love country mags, vintagy romantic gardens and interiors, so the colours I was wanting you to ONLY use are Aqua, Cream, Green, Brown with a hint of Pink.

You have until Sunday 17th July at midnight to send your 12 x 12 layout to fiona@scrapboxnz.com. While you are sorting out what to do, I'm going back through those mags and see if I can find the right picture

Good luck and have fun!
