Orange=Fall

This is my Favorite time of year.

I am so excited to be on this side of the country for Fall. Alaska was beautiful but you had to be on top of things to catch the changing of the colors. Before you knew it it would snow and all the leaves would be gone.

I haven't done many layouts with orange so it will be a nice challenge. I look forward to seeing what you Ladies come up with.

Orange: Defined

Alright guys! It's time for a new color! This month we are going with my FAVORITE...well one of them...ORANGE!!

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red.

Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite.

Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design.

Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.

Dark orange can mean deceit and distrust.

Red-orange corresponds to desire, sexual passion, pleasure, domination, aggression, and thirst for action.

Gold evokes the feeling of prestige. The meaning of gold is illumination, wisdom, and wealth. Gold often symbolizes high quality.

Go the distance with ORANGE. Hope you are inspired! I sure am! Be on the look out for more inspiration soon!

Love Green

Green is one of my happy colors. It makes me think of spring, fresh smells, early morning sunrise. I just love green!!! Here is a LO of DD playing in the dirt. The main PP is Stemma, as well as the journal card. And my all time favorite KI mini alpha soup!!! I even pulled out the sewing machine for this one (that was fun)

Yeah Green!

Okay so I have to confess I haven't been here for awhile. I didn't even realize we switched colors! I was waiting for the color change but then got caught up with Life.

So I too love green. I don't have many clothes in that color but the pieces I do have I love. I like wearing green eye shadow along with it. I was at the mall the other day and saw an entire store with MAC make up. I have never used that make up but have heard a lot about it. I was over whelmed with the selection of colors. But with little ones in tow I didn't spend much time in there.

*Note to self leave boys at home next trip to the mall!

So here is my layout with green.

What wonderful layouts so far. Can't wait to see more.

you got the greenlight*

green is so refreshing, and it really caught my eye when matched with black and white, like in the stemma paper used in the layout above.

when i first saw this paper, i knew i wanted to use it for a very special photo. a pretty photo, to go with the pretty paper, i thought. i also knew i wanted to use white cardstock, white type and a black and white photo.

later, i picked up some green bling, and a pack of black and white jumbo expoxy brads. the perfect compliments.

the layout itself had been in my head for weeks! it just so happened that green was the color of choice at the IW blog, that i decided to bring this layout to life. so last night i got to cracking, and here it is, just like i wanted it to be! here are a few other shots.
