Color combos

Some color combinations strike a chord with me. Of course, as taught in my color theory classes in art school, all colors evoke some type of mood or emotion. Light blues often convey a feeling of calm. Yellows and oranges are cheerful and bright. Reds gain attention quickly - and depending on the specific hue of that red can either create feelings of anger or strength.

However, while single colors do have specific emotions tied to them, I think so do color combinations. Have you ever looked at something and thought "Wow, I love those colors!!!"? I do all the time. I am so inspired by color. I've recently seen a couple of layouts that I have fallen in love with that use this color combo - a deep rich red and a robin's egg/turqouise blue-ish color. It's an unlikely combination and maybe that's why I love it so much.

What's your favorite color combination?

I know I know I know.

I KNOW.

It's been FOREVER since I last posted. Well, I've been a bit busy. I'll make up for it though I promise!

The book is keeping me busy, not to mention another fun doodling class I taught this weekend at Maniac Madness - a 2-day crop event here in Alabama. I had TONS of fun! I hope everyone enjoyed the class and all the FREE GOODIES!

Let's see... those who took my class each got a prize from Sakura - either Souffle or Glaze pens or their fun Sticklers! Plus they each got a cool rubber stamp with about 10 phrases in different themes made by Leisure Arts.

THEN, Frances Meyer also gave me an amazing amount of stickers which we gave to all the attendees for FREE along with great kits from Frances Meyer and their ScrapsAhoy line, too, for the door prizes.

Oh, and Scrap-eze donated several of their vertical storage units and crop totes with hanging folders included!!! Sakura also donated 2 Glaze pens and a Souffle pen for EVERY ONE!!!

I hope everyone had a great time. (I'm pretty sure you did!!!) : ) I can't wait until next year's event! I'll post a few photos later on!

Have a great week!
