There Was Laughter {Pretty Paper Party}

I was thrilled when I received today's prompt from Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party. It's all about combining colours and, just last night, I finished a layout using one of the example colour combinations. I have never been so up to date with a class!

There Was Laughter

A certain someone will recognise this photograph immediately. In all honesty, it about time that the story of Meeting Mel made it onto a layout. And it's particularly apt, because we met through a Shimelle class! The journalling, and some of Mel's Photographs, are all on the blue piece of card that's tucked away behind the main photograph.

There Was Laughter - Detail

All of the cardstock and papers on the layout are from my October Counterfeit Kit only the base cardstock was a new sheet. I love the papers and the calm colours (though this colour combination could be a riot in different ratios!) but I think it's the splash of blue ink that really makes the layout come alive.

Whatcha think Mel?

    I like the splash of blue and the little grouping at the top of the layout.

    Clair, you pair/group pattern paper so well together. It works so well on your layouts because you give all the elements plenty of breathing space and in some cases there is just a mere glimpse of the pattern.
    Your pages are soothing to view and the colours are always very happy - a great page today for a great event! :-)

    You're so right about the blue. It really adds an unexpected spark to the page! I love all of the colors though, and the laughter.
