Kim's Oct DSO Color Challenge

YES, oh YES, oh YES. It's Fall and my "most" favorite time of the year. I'll be spending time, next week, taking loads of photos of this wonderful season.

Kim from DigiScrapObsession (DSO) tossed a crazy mix of colors to us for October, thanks to her DH. I wasn't sure that I'd participate as I just stared at them in disbelief. HA! See what I mean?

But, after a few days of recovering from this palette choice, I opened up Photoshop and found a photo of a cute ceramic figurine that I found at a girlfriends house. The colors were perfect and set me in motion. I usually design with a Vintage touch, so this is a real stretch for me. Hope you enjoy it. Also, I took a little liberty with the tones of the colors. They just "worked" for me much better.

Kim's Sept DSO Color Challenge

Ok, I've had ENOUGH of this hot weather and want my favorite FALL weather to return. I'm tired of looking and wearing my summer clothes and am admiring the sweaters and pants that are just sitting and waiting for me to put on. I've drank enough iced tea to fill a dump truck and want to brew hot tea again. The only downside to the bright summer days is that my garden will lose all the pretty colors and blooms that greet me each morning as I give them their morning drinks. But, perhaps that big black carpenter bee will find somewhere else to go instead of checking me out each day. HA! And soon, I have another girl friend trip planned. Spa, Photoshoping, shopping, eating!! WOO HOOO!!


SO, while waiting for FALL weather, I spent time playing with Kim's DSO Color Challenge for this month and came up with this little kit. It's FREE for the taking. Just click on the preview to reach the download page. And if you like it, please leave a little note. I work harder when I get "atta girl" strokes. LOL

Kim's DSO Color Challenge-August

Kim's DSO Color Challenge this month had the most lovely colors for Summer. I just kept thinking of sherbet ice cream the whole time that I was playing with the colors. It was hard to cut this one off from elements and papers. But I managed to pull away from it last night. If you have the time, you should really jump in and join the fun. Designing a layout, papers, elements, or quick page will earn you a lovely free kit by Kim, in this color palette.


On another note, we have a new Great Grandson (Alexander) in our life, thanks to our Grandson Jason and his wife, Samantha. He's absolutely perfect! He was also born on his Great Grandpa's birthday for an even better surprise.

Please click on the preview for the download of this FREE kit and I hope you enjoy it. And if you have time for a comment, I always appreciate that too.

JUNE IN THE PARK-Free kit

This months new kit is up at About.com's graphic software section that you can grab, for FREE. I used blues and yellows this time and my favorite theme of "Memories". All of the gorgeous flowers that are in bloom this time of year, makes me want to just keep making floral papers. Hope you enjoy them too.

Kim's DSO Color Challenge-July, #2

This is the 2nd color palette that Kim presented to us for our double whammy DSO Color Challenge, this month. I sure hope that this doesn't become a habit. My eyes are blurred and crossed. But, I love every second of the designing process, so I won't whine. And, actually, the reward of a kit, from Kim, using the month's colors, is all worth it.

Using a few of these colors, I came up with the following little kit, which is FREE for anyone to take and use to make a scrapbook page. Just click on the preview to download.
