CCG Inspiration Board #189

Shine On!

The colors are beautiful and the additional inspiration challenge with shine and shimmer is going to be fun! Hope you get to play this week! I have some projects on my plate right now but I will have mine up on Tuesday or Wednesday. Click on the Inspiration Board to catch the Reveal, the design works are beautiful!!!

I also LOVE the lyrics from the song this week:

Open up ya eyes, and watch the sunrise
One point we have to make clear,
Love are gonna spread around the world ya know.

Me love ya, comes out of devotion.
To rule ya, spread to the world.
In Trenchtown, I'm on my mission,
Where we praise the day, straight away,
All the nation.

Let me be the love that comes from the sun,
Let me be your rainbow rising up,
Every single race, out of space,
we'll shine on, ey, shine on!
Let me be the love that comes from the sun,
I wanna be your love light from above,
shine on, shine on, shine on!

Repeat

Let the sun shine down on your face,
No need to feel wrong, you're in the right place,
And me know that you feel
what we are gonna tell you now,
So, gather all your friends around and,
Come join me down the club, got the song,
and gonna move you,
So prove you're right, feel it tonight now.

Let me be the love that comes from the sun,
Let me be your rainbow rising up,
Every single race, out of space,
we'll shine on, ey, shine on!
Let me be the love that comes from the sun,
I wanna be your love light from above,
shine on, shine on, shine on!
All over the world!

Open up ya eyes, and watch the sunrise
One point we have to make clear,
Love are gonna spread around the world ya know.

It's one of the ways I feel about CCG, what I have accomplished and what I bring to you each and every week with the Color Combo Challenges. The joy of having brought so many people around the world to one place, to share our craft, our friendship and love. How I try to encourage each and every one of you to do your best and shine on!!!! You all make me proud! Thank you for being there each week and having so much fun with it!!

CCG #186 and Sketchy Thursdays

{ Color Combos Galore #186 }
{ Sketchy Thursdays Challenge: 3/31 }
{ Midnight Rooster: March Kit }

It was a Scrappin' Day!!

First off, I want to thank you for all your lovely comments last week! I truly soooo appreciate you coming here and taking the time to write me a note, it was fun reading them! Glad you liked those sneaks, I just posted all my projects. They are in the previous post, so keep reading! I would love for you to look at them too! :D

Well, YAY!
Finally!
I am so happy to be scrappin' and posting again! I think I have posted more in the past month than I did in 2010. Though I have made 3 other layouts for CCG, I haven't posted those yet.
Will do.
I had mind to create for this week's color challenge, because I just love teals and yellows and grays. So when my Midnight Rooster came in the mail the other day, I was thrilled that it had a lot of the teal and yellows. I used the sketch from this week's Sketchy Thursdays.
This one was due tonight.
I am saving Nadia's Once Upon a Sketch with Kraft it Up!. Going to play that this weekend. They have a longer grace period, which is nice!

The Inspiration Board for this week:

COOL HUH?

{ The Design }

Once again bad lighting, I was a bit frustrated so Debbi helped me with the photo enhancement. Thanks girl! I have had this photo of Jabran hanging on my fridge for over 5 years. This was taken at my parent's house when the kids had a sleepover. I just love the folded jeans, white t-shirt and Gap cap. He looked so freakin' cute! I am so glad I finally put it on a page! Thinking of a title, the first thing that came to mind was the song from Neil Diamond, which I thought was Rebel in Blue Jeans. Because it was so fitting. When I Googled the title so I can hear the tune, turns out it the song title is Forever in Blue Jeans. Uh-oh, that is not what I have been singing all these years! LOL!

{ My Inspiration }

The Color Combo: For this particular combo, I wanted to concentrate on the grayish taupe and off-white, have a lesser dose of the teal and then some yellow. My yellow is a bit off, but I wanted to stick to the kit. It would make more sense to go through my stash, then I would get the colors spot on. But I need to finish start on using up my kits!

The Sketch: The Designer's Challenge was to create a project with a lot of layering, or staggered elements. This week's sketch called for some layering, so that fit in perfectly with the color challenge! Though the sketch called for a horizontal design on the left side of the page, I went with a vertical. A little interesting! Everything else about the sketch stayed the same. See where it shows a spot for pattern paper behind the layers? For that I almost added a grunge dotted stamp, not behind the layers, but next to, right behind the photo, but decided against it. It probably would of looked okay, but I couldn't envision it, so I left it clean.

I have closeups, but they are not ready. I am tired tonight. Need sleep.

I published two posts today. So please keep reading?
They are my projects for those sneak peeks I had up last week.
I am looking forward to you seeing them!
