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
