I was heading to bed when I decided to pop over to Kristina’s blog.  My first thought was “isn’t that Anthonette’s son?”  And then my next thought was “oh, no.”  Seriously, I pretty much decided at that moment that there was no way I was going to be able to use these colors!  But then that sweet little smile was cheering me on (Anthonette, he really is a cutie!)

I don’t know what you all do when you attempt one of these color inspirations, but the first thing I do is look through all of my patterned paper and pull out everything that goes with the colors.  Then I take out the ink pads and set them next to the paper and add ribbon to the bunch.  I go from there.  Tonight I happened to have a photo of some Moroccan tile and it was the perfect color for the challenge!  It was destiny!  Okay, I’m getting loopy, so now I really am going to bed.

Good night!  Leela Saida!

Hi Tina, you’re process is like mine. I start with the paper to remind myself of what I’ve got and then I work from there.

This is going to be fun to blog hop and see Kalino’s face everywhere. I’m starting with you. Great layout! You’ve inspired me to create a layout soon.

Cute layout! I had the same exact thought when seeing the colors- what am I going to do with this? I love how your layout turned out!

Hi Tina, I think the ‘panic and worry’ stage lasts the longest when I decide to enter a challenge, but I always love taking part. This is a beautiful layout, great use of the colours and a fab picture as usual. Be happy! Jo x
