rp_soc4button.pngIt’s time play along again with Kristen for week 2 of The Summer of Color.

The palette for this week is:IMG_0008Coral & Teal 

with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Bright White

This one was a little out of my comfort zone but that’s what this challenge is all about.coral and tealYou’ll just have to take my word for it that the coral is more coral.  I took over a dozen photos and played with them in Photoshop trying to get a realistic color representation of the real page but it was not meant to be today. My photo mojo is gone.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by over the past week to check out and comment on my week 1 entry. I’m hoping to make it around to everyone this week but I won’t make any promises.

I’m definitely in a bright color sort of mode…something new for me.breakI’m not sure that my journaling would stand up to an English majors scrutiny but I never professed to being an expert at my native language. ;)break sparklesI do love the shimmer and bits of sparkles that are on this page. They are just so darn hard to capture on camera.

 

Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by my friend Elizabeth. As always I have my beverage at hand. coffee to goA to-go cup?  Yep…we’ve already been to the orthodontist this morning.  Ah yes…the joys of summer vacation.  I’m thinking we are going to get out and enjoy some sunshine today and fresh air. Maybe walk around a lake…  Bike some trails…. Throw a frisbee… Not sure but we could all use some outside time.

I’ve been continuing to work on some cards.more cardsI started a painting yesterday on a canvas board. I’m out of regular canvas to this will have to do for now.painting in progressIt still a work in progress….

Kristen, our wonderful hostess for The Summer of Color 4, couldn’t have picked a better set of colors to start us out.week 1Aqua Blue & Yellow

With a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Hot Pink

Here’s my art journal page for today…

aqua and yellowLove, love these colors!!

aqua and yellow closeupI’m not sure if I’m going to label each weeks journal page with a SOC4 but today it just seemed right.

Go check out what my fellow SOC4 artists come up with this week. I know I’ll be checking them out daily.

A very special young man in our life just graduated from high school. He is like my 3rd child…my unofficially adopted one. He surprised me with a cup of Caribou coffee one Mother’s Day morning.  So sweet.  He is friend to Big J…and an over-sized big brother to Little J.   grad cardThe boys have had a love for video games since the day they met. Nintendo was the platform of choice.  Now “my second son” is going off to college into a video game design  program in a few short months. I thought this card would make him smile.

Congrats T!

wishLayers and layers under the aqua. I finally settled on that color after auditioning several others. The others were definitely not right.

I’ve used this technique of making circles on my pages before. Highlighting little pieces of the page make it much more interesting. Having the layers underneath give wonderful texture to the page.

It’s time to play a little catch up again with the calendars. I honestly was on time with these…I just had too many other things I wanted to blog about and this one got pushed to the back burner.May completeI added some little clouds to the sky part way through the month but other than that I just kept track of my days.June I’m not sure that I have any room to add anything to June. I got a little carried away but I like it!!
