My Boy

This is a 8 x 8 layout I make for MY BOY
and it is based on the color palette over at



I have to admit that I am not good at color challenges, but it is a good way to push myself get out of my comfort zone, using colors that I normally don't.


This blue DP from American Crafts had some really cute whales (embossed) all over, too bad that the picture can't really show


After doing so many 12 x 12 pages, 8 x 8 seems a lot easier as it has less space to filled, LOL!


Alright, you still have time to hop over to COLOUR Q and join in the fun!

Masculine LO's and cards are sometimes difficult to create and this LO turned out great. CAS are great for masculine "projects". I love this; you did a terrific job with the colors!

HI Kirsty, I went to the post office and came back and you had posted this! This is very nice. I love how you used the colors. Sometimes the colors are more difficult to use, but the more you use different color combo's the more relaxed you feel! I am glad to see you back again exploring the possibilities in the world of colors! thanks for playing the ColourQ challenge again this week!

Great colour combo, so perfect for masculine themed things, and the layout is very graphic and interesting, matches perfectly with the colour combo.
