May Challenge

Bloom where you are planted by Kimmarie

Posted by Picasa
Design Team Member Kimmarie submitted a second project for the "Get Out of Your Box" Challenge. Here is what she said, "I took this picture of my daughter, Sara last Mother's Day. I try to always find a color in a layout that I can use as a focal color for my layout. I was going to use the pink from the bush but my cousin talked me into using the purple on Sara's shirt so it would stand out. I didn't have any purple pattern paper at all because I never scrap with purple, just not my style. She had just recently purchased a DCWV 8 x 8 paper pack (I forget which one it was) but it came with these purple papers so she gave them to me to use. I also used Stampin Up Ink, Punch and a White Rub-on.
Thanks for looking, now it's your turn to do something Outside your box, or use something that you normally wouldn't use.
