Non Traditional Color Challenge

Our blog hop for December is a non traditional color challenge. We are to design a Christmas layout using the 2022-2024 In Colors'  Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party.

This challenge was chosen by our Stampin Up Global Scraobook design team member, Sharon Dalten.  They are great colors so I knew it would be a fun challenge. I had a pack of the 6x6 glimmer paper in the In Colors so that added to the fun!  Look at these great colors!

There is a bright red (Sweet Sorbet) and green (Parakeet Party) in the 2022-24 InColor collection so it's already perfect for Christmas.  Adding in the blues makes it even better!  I had to use the Gnome Dies that coordinate with the Happiest Gnomes stamp set although I didn't use the stamp set for this page. I cut the gnome hats and feet from the glimmer paper,  It's hard to tell how much they sparkle in the pictures.  The title is cut with an old Sizzlet alphabet set.  The wavy strips of DSP are from the Dainty Flowers pack that will be in the Jan-April 2023 mini catalog.   

I used the Hand Drawn Dots stamp in the background though in 3 of the InColors.  Then I used the Blending Brushes to soften the edges of each strip of dots. I had to blend around the edges of the white cardstock of the layout too while I was at it.

  

I hope you enjoyed my layout of our 1990 Christmas pictures.  These kids are grown and in their 40's now!  Even some of my grandchildren are officially adults although they don't look like it.  I guess they never will to me!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy Courtenay Heuston's cute layout on her blog next.
