The Monochromatic Colour Challenge
Hi everyone! Amy (amymom24) here bringing you this week’s challenge: a Monochromatic Colour Challenge! No that is not a typo, this is really how we spell “colour” up here in Canada 
The rules are simple: pick a colour and try to use only that colour on your layout. If necessary, you can use a related colour (in the same colour family), and/or neutral colours like black, white or brown. Easy peasy!
If you have an element you’d like to use, but it isn’t the colour that you picked for this layout, you can easily recolour it. There are lots of great tutorials for recolouring in your specific program, just google for them! Here are a couple links for Photoshop/Photoshop Elements to help you get started:
- By Emily Giovanni for her personal blog
- By Alice for the Weeds & Wildflowers blog – this is for Photoshop, but also works in Photoshop Elements, and she has a PSP tip in the comments section as well.
- By Tee for the Weeds & Wildflowers forum
Here is an example to get your creative juices flowing. I used a good mix of Nicole’s stuff, most of it recoloured to fit my green theme. You can view the credits here.
Please use mostly Sugarplum goodies. You can find Nicole’s stuff at the Sugarplum Paperie shop and at The DigiChick. Nicole has had TONS of freebies, so don’t feel like you can’t play because you haven’t been able to shop.
Upload your layout to any gallery you want, and leave a link to your layout in the comments section of this post. You have until Thursday, March 5th to complete the challenge and you could win a $5.00 gift certificate to the Sugarplum Paperie shop!
I can’t wait to see your take on this challenge! Now go have fun!
Creative Monday
I’ve got the “short and sweet” version for you today! I had a nice long weekend visiting with my in-laws (who came over to visit us!) and today is catch up day for me since I took all that time off to relax with them. But what I do have to show you this week is absolutely stunning! So, let’s get right to it, shall we?
First of all, here is a gorgeous layout from Amy, using the Strawberry au Lait kit with a mix of other goodies:
And here is a beautiful page from Jen, using a mix of Rainbow Flavored Canvas and The Sweetest Thing mini kit:
Here is an amazing layout from Denise! I just love all these swirls and buttons and things—so cool!
And here’s another beauty from Denise, using A Little Birdie:
Here’s a beautiful framed layout made by Kristie (see the original layout up-close here), using the China Blue kit:
And here is an amazing little hybrid project that Jessica made for her hubby for Valentine’s Day:
Aren’t these layouts and projects so wonderful?! Be sure to stop by the gallery and leave these girls some love!
Well, that’s all for today… I need to get busy on working on a new collab with someone special. More details to come!
Happy scrapping!
EDIT: I forgot to mention last week’s winner of the Lovey-Dovey challenge: Congrats to Maria! I’ll be sending you an e-mail right now.
