Prepare for another colourful lay out!!!
Scrapping out Loud came with this challenge:

“Split complimentary color challenge:
We have another color challenge for you all this week… but this time you are to use only 3 split complimentary colors from the color wheel on your layout….not sure what split complimentary means, check out the color wheel…”
 

I made you this example so you get an
idea what “split complimentary” means.

(I enlightened the 3 colours
I used on my lay out.)

Fun challenge over at Scrapping Out Loud! 

“Song Title/Lyrics Challenge: Our challenge for this week is to use a line
or phrase from the song “That’s What Friends Are For” by Dionne Warwick anywhere on your layout… (click on the title for the complete lyrics)”

I used the same lyrics before when I made a CD and little book to go with it for my dear friend Lena, but hey, that was not a real “scrap” (you can take a look at that mini book here) so why not do it again?!

…GOOD when the postman rings the doorbell to bring you this! 

 
This arrived last Thursday – finally!
I was expecting it for a few weeks already!
It’s the Sassafras kit
I won over at ScrapMojo with my “Christmas lay out” 
It took seven (yes, 7) weeks to get here…
but finally I received it
and although some
patterned paper show
Christmas trees and
little reindeer’s, I’m
very happy with it!     

 
This little bundle includes spring-like little papers.
I fell in love with it right away!

After the disastrous lay out on Friday (threw that away, remember?) I decided to just keep it familiar and calm with the next lay out. Couldn’t handle another failure again so I worked with colours and paper I feel comfortable with and I went back to the basic of my scrapping: sand and water. Peaceful colours.

Did this LO for the Scrapping out Loud challenge which was the following: 

“Our new challenge for this week is to use more than one kind of lace on your layout. Use lace as a border, wrapped around chipboard, to highlight a pic,
a lace flower, use a lot or a little…but make sure you use more than one kind!”

Question:
Is this lace?

Answer:
I decided it is more lace then ribbon, so YES, this is lace!

Don’t worry, I’m not having a “scrappers block” or something… the reason
for not showing you a lay out in a week is because I’m working on one that takes lots and lots of time (and even longer, ’cause I’m a slow scrapper…)
This weekend – a bit tired and dizzy of all the colours and things I’m working with on that lay out – I used the challenge of Scrapping Out Loud to create a simple “in between” scrap to compensate.

I managed to not only scrap
the challenge they came up with,
but I also used the sketch AND
the word of the week, which was “LOVE” 

 And this was their challenge:
“We at Scrapping Out Loud are amazed by all of our loyal fans and all of your amazing layouts you’ve been creating so in keeping with that theme we want you to create a layout based on Amazing Moments in your life!
Don’t forget if you combine the sketch of the week or the word of the week you can double or triple your chances to win this month’s fabulous rak from Love is in the Details!”

… that’s what he did, Jan Maljers.
My great great grandfather.
(Yep, that’s two times “great” and not a typing error)
He sat there in his chair and watched the world go by…

And me?
I’m right in the middle with my scrap paper & lace & paint & photographs 
& emballisments & stickers,
and I play!
I played a lot this weekend.
Got my mojo runnin’ girls!

So here’s my second post this weekend, including a new lay out.
Enjoy!
