DSO's challenges are fun to me, and I confess, I haven't taken the time to look at other store forums. I know there are SOOOOOOO many talented designers out there in scrapbookland; however, I have a special place in my heart for those designers who have become friends. Kim Broedelet is a crack-up, and a gifted designer as well. I worked on her color challenge at DSO earlier this month than I did the past couple of months, so that's your freebie today.
As usual, there's a story behind it! The color palette selected was definitely different for a November kit, so I started thinking outside the box:
- my brother turns 50 this month...
- he's celebrating with a week-long cruise from Los Angeles to Honolulu...
- with another week exploring the islands...
- and Hawaii's celebrating its 50th anniversary as the 50th state in the United States of America.
Eureka! A theme!! And, on the odd chance that my brother and his wife actually share photos from their trip, I will have something I can use to scrapbook his 50th celebration. I based the elements on what I knew for sure they would be doing.
I had computer connection issues today so I'm behind on other things, but thought I'd get this posted this evening--better late than never.
Blessings on your day...evening...morning...whenever

Beautiful DSO challenge kit! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful kit.

Wow Melanie,
You kit really cheered me up no end today. I've got the waring factions going on,=. No l son (20) thinks I should trump up the rest of the money for his motor that he's buying off his pal - £300. oh yeah. Hubby needs money to go to Penrith to start his new job on Monday so obviously that's the priority. No 2 son (16) gets his money from college to day and it's all gone on debt so he thinks Mum can get him through week. Sound familiear to anyone else? LOL xx
I love your word art so much and it always gives me so much pleasure bu those stunning colours to day really brought a ray of sunshime into my life. Your a real star.
