Color Throwdown & a Sketch

Happy Sunday!
We had a great time @ our cousin's home yesterday. Lil' Evan is soo cute and I enjoyed snuggling with him the whole time we were there....such a Sweetie!!

My first card for today is featuring The Color Throwdown challenge to use Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla & Mellow Moss. I added Chocolate Chip ink to level out the rest of the colors....hope that's not considered cheating! This card also features Taylor's Cupcake Challenge---I didn't use cupcakes this time either but it still qualifies!!!!!

This lil' guy is for the Color Challenge on SCS to use Pumpkin Pie, Brilliant Blue and Garden Green.....what was Emily thinking LOL!! I really struggled to find *something* to help work these colors and that's when I remembered this ss Boatloads of Love. It all came together after that including my layout.....not bad hugh?!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
TTFN,
Hugs,

  1. Love them both. Taylored Expressions sketch you did is beautiful and the boat is fabulous. I hated that color combo myself. Amazing though how great the submissions all turned out.

    Great job - and a happy Sunday.

  2. Jackie, I think your idea of using chocolate chip was a winning idea! It really does balance out the colors! Love this layout and the scalloped edge at the bottom!

  10. Both are great and oh so different. The first is simple and elegant and the tug boat is so cute, really like the puffs of smoke coming from the smoke stack. Great job on the color combo!
