On a personal note, I’ve been a bit sidetracked with winners and all that. The guest designer competition will resume with May’s entries; but we’re going to make it a public vote! Voting will begins when the particpants’ post goes up and ends on the 15th. Winner takes all that month, guest designs with us for the next month. Ready?!

Oh! One more bit of news – we’re using Inlinkz to link up our creations now (see the very bottom of this post). So please load up your project in your blog or favorite gallery and link it back here. Happy to be linking again!

Hold your breath – this is one colorful ride…

It wasn’t all about our favorite colors this month.

It was really about the opposite.

Colors we are afraid of actually.

The challenge for us was to go UNconventional with our colors. Choosing either colors we didn’t normally scrap with or colors that don’t normally “go” together. For example, red and greens on a non-Christmas layout. Instead of thirds on the color wheel, colors right next to each other. Personally, I am terrified of purple on layout. Never ever made it work. But you’ll see purple work completely well on this day…
