Color Combos Galore #146

I'm a bit late in posting this... but the new colors are up on the color combos galore website and you'll just love this one... and boy was it a challenge for me. If there's one color that I don't scrap with, it would definitely be purple and therefore was the driver in doing this week color combo... really wanted to see what I could come up that included purple.

Also was a bit late in posting this because I made a few changes here and there (and still not too happy about it). For some reason when I saw the layout being posted on the CCG website, I just didn't like how it looks and how unbalanced it felt... so went with a bolder font for the title and switched around the journaling.... what do you guys think?

the before....

and the after.... I know, the title still doesn't feel right (and is abit off balance, I really can't work with anything else other than straight lines).

and just loving these blooms from prima, been hoarding them for awhile now...

supplies used include:
cardstock: american crafts; pattern paper, flowers, crystals, flower centers: prima, alphas, leaf pins: maya road; ink: tim holtz
inspired by: prima june BAP sketch

even after the changes, still don't really like the overall look of the layout. not sure what's been happening lately but spent the day today fixing layouts (this is my third one in which I re-did something)... but at the moment, just clueless in what to do with it... oh well, but I really hope i get my mojo back really soon as there's a few assignments due next week. :(

thanks for stopping by.

  2. You are too funny - I'm sure it looked totally fine in the first place as well - but I know the feeling when you look at a layout and something just isn't 'right'. It looks fantastic now - the distressing is marvelous! just the right amount of embellies and bling - love it

  3. Both are beautiful but I like the 2nd one better, mainly because it has three photos. But it just flows better too.
    I know what you mean about just not being happy with a page! And also the purple thing!

  4. Sometimes I get 'scrappers block' and I find it's best just to take a break. That's a bit tricky if you've got deadlines though! I saw some of your work in the Scrapbook Inspirations Idea Book, it's lovely!
