Sorry I couldn't help myself
Well ya know with the yellow, red and black combination on my mind lately I couldn't resist this beauty. While surfing my trash sites I came across this. You see I am addicted to celebrity gossip site and books...I'll even go as far as saying I love "trash" tv such as jerry springer, maury "who's my baby daddy" povich and garbage like that. It makes me feel better about my life. Bwhahahah!! So this is part one of my yellow, red and black combo:
Sorry! I couldn't resist =)

Yellow is going to be hard. For me it more of a soothing color then caution. My baby's room has a lot of yellow and when the sun hits his window the whole room feels warm.
When talking about flowers yellow means friendship, Right? DH thought that and gave me yellow flowers one time and told me that he knew that I knew he loved me but he want to show me we still had that friendship. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.
I have the picture above on my backdrop for inspiration.
Yellow!
I went shopping for flowers yesterday for my garden and this one was calling my name. Enjoy!
Header Inspiration
True, yellow is one hard color to scrap. I look back at old layouts and I see that I seldom use yellow. Even trying to figure out how I want the banner to look was a challenge all in itself. So here are the 2 runner ups for the title of Blog Header of the Month.
I love the title Toya came up with. "Enigma" is a paradox, a riddle, something hard to comprehend. In many ways similar to the color yellow. The uses of it are really all or nothing. Caution signs are covered in yellow used as preventive measures. But this month I encourage you guys to take yellow and test it to it's limits. Take a look around and see what this color means to you, most importantly how it inspires you. And don't forget to post it here! Enjoy your weekend!

Yellow Defined
Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.
Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design. Men usually perceive yellow as a very lighthearted, 'childish' color. Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety.
Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.
Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy.
Light yellow is associated with intellect, freshness, and joy.
Now, go...create, with yellow!

Keynotes: Project Yellow Enigma
Last week I got an email from Adrienne asking me when will we be changing the color theme for the blog..... I thought "already, what's wrong with RED?" LOL
But of course all good things must come to an end, so we can press on and start anew.
So, now we are starting a new journey and this time we are going somewhere that "most" scrappers don't like to venture. "We" are going to step lightly into the Yellow abyss, a color that is so bright, so bold, so "difficult" that its usually the last piece of cardstock you will ever pick to buy or even worse, SCRAP.
"Oh gosh, I hate yellow", "I just can't work with it", "I forgot that color even exist"... you can add your own quote to the list in the comment box, lol.
Ronalyn has blessed us with a new banner which will be up in a few, Adrienne will be gracing us with the meaning of Yellow to get us going and I look forward to everyones take on it, lots of reviews, photos, layouts, just general thoughts, please share.
Last month was so wonderful, so many inspiring layouts, all of which just put a big ole smile on my face everytime I came to this blog, gosh,, this is just a good thing.
So, wipe the slate clean, its time to go to the unknown project Yellow Enigma is now in full effect.
