December Color Spot

Welcome to December!!

We have now received a nice blanket of white snow and everything is so pretty.  Makes for great walks in the trails and breathtaking views!!  I'm getting my camera ready for some actions!  And what better place then right here for inspiration to create some lovely layouts with those pictures.

Let's get right to it.  I believe this month's color spot will leave you all warm and fuzzy with inspiration!

Another great color combination from Design Seeds.  It's my go to for color inspiration and I just had to share this one with you!  I'm in love with the reds and greys!!

I asked my dear friend and fellow designer team member Gisèle Julien if she would have a go at this month's color spot.  It's nothing short than fabulous!  Here's her take on this month's spot.

I love all the circle accents she created on her page.  It makes my eyes move across her page in a whimsical way.  LOVE those maple leafs!  The punch of red and grey is just perfect.

Here's a few close-ups of the string details.  This is such a great way to add detail to your layout.

Thank you Gisele for sharing your layout with us!  We hope you are inspired by this month's color and that you will share your creation with us.  You know we always love seeing what you create! Make sure you link it up using our link at the bottom of this post.

Happy scrapping!

LCOM - November Color Spot

Good morning!

I hope you didn't miss us to much yesterday as we purposely waited until today to post our Color Spot.  Yesterday's sketch reveal was awesome!  It also was the last for a few of our designers!  I wanted to make sure they got the spot light yesterday.  They certainly deserve it!!  If you haven't check it out yet, head on over here.  Make sure you leave them some love and join in on the fun !!

So without further adieu, welcome to the November Color Spot!  I found this picture from Carla Schauer while looking for Halloween craft ideas for my kids.  Totally not Halloween, but I just loved all the buttons and flower pot idea!  This was the one to share with you!

This month's designer is none other then me, Isabelle!  When I saw the colors in this picture I immediately knew what paper collection I was going to use.  The Birthday Bisque by Jillibean Soup was just what this Color Spot needed!! 

I love the Jillibean Soup placemats, but I've always been a little intimidated by them.  I've never been sure how to use them.  Yes, I've seen them all over projects and love it all, but I've never been able to put one down on a project until now!  I love the way it turned out!

What about those Beanboard Alphas?  They are my all time favorite alphas!  They were the perfect embellisnment to add to my layout.  Nothing like a few sequins to make this celebration that much more special!

I hope you are inspired by this month's Color Spot and you will share your creations with us by linking them at the bottom of this post!  You know how we love to see what you create!!

Happy scrapping!
