Color Week Three - Green

Green is also lower on my list of favorite colors...pretty much right above orange.  Well, except for teal/blue green/whatever you want to call those green colors.  Those I really love.  But this adorable picture of my niece and nephew begged for a beautiful soft sage green.  And I'm really happy with how it turned out:

I have to say that this color class is really inspiring me to branch out in my use of different colors.  I find myself looking at photos I've taken and thinking of all the ways I could use color to enhance them.  Plus, all of the different techniques and ideas that Nic Howard uses has helped me use a lot of my stash in different ways.  This layout used a lot of really old stuff (yes, those are ancient MM mailbox letters in the title!).  I don't even remember where I got the flowers or the brads or the ribbons, and the chipboard shapes I've had forever.  I colored those with a Copic marker (also colored one piece of the ribbon!) and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I would have sworn I didn't own a single set of Thickers, but plain chipboard ones appeared out of nowhere!  So I colored them with ink and heat embossed those, too.  This layout was really fun to make and came together really quickly.

So you may be wondering where I am with the Organize Your Stuff Challenge.  Or maybe not.  But in any case, I AM still organizing.  It's just that I don't have a large number of things in the categories we've been organizing lately.  I have, like, four punches, which is this week's category.  I do still want to catalogue my stickles and glitter, but that won't take me long since I have a tiny supply of those, too.  Next week is tools and adhesives, and I already have those pretty well organized.  Might rearrange a little...but I'm going to be having fun doing a BLUE layout!!  Yay...my favorite color!!
