A new Color Me Scrappy Challenge!



Good Morning everyone!  Happy 4th of July to all of you from the USA!  I hope you all enjoy your day and your picnics and fireworks, too!

Here is a photo from NYC:



And, a brand new challenge is going on over at Color Me Scrappy !!   I would like to share it with you today!

The fabulous color scheme is as follows:


And the twist is to use the following sketch:


Isn't it amazing?

Here is my finished layout using that amazing color combination and creative sketch:


I came across this old photo of Ryan and Katie from preschool, and just had to scrap this picture along with the one from their senior prom last year.  I am still amazed at how quickly time flew as they were growing up!!  I was inspired by the song "Sunrise-Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof," too!

I encourage you to check out Color Me Scrappy this month and play along with the challenge.  There is always a great prize to be won, and a chance at being a guest designer, too.  And we have exciting news this month:  we are welcoming new members to the already fabulous design team.  Please head over to Color Me Scrappy to see the present challenge and to welcome the new members of our design team!

And as always, I thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  I really appreciate your visits, so much!

Have a great day!

    Love it! I'm a huge fan of 'then and now' layouts and this is just perfect with the Fiddler theme and those awesome sunrise/sunset pictures.

    Hi Sharon, Happy 4th a day later to you and your loved ones! Hope you had a great time and the weather was ok. The rain finally came our way as the kids were swimming so us adults ran for cover under the table umbrellas, lol.

    WOW, Sharon, this is gorgeous!! The color scheme is stunning in that image above and what a great sketch for this month.

    I love the then/now pictures, what a great idea and how fun to see them still friends. I love the strips, the flowers and SPLATS of paint on your page. You are so good at these challenges and creating layouts from them. LOVE IT!!

    Thank you for your blog visits too, they make my day! I was so excited to see my name picked at SOC, now I'm ready for it to happen when playing the lottery, haha!
    Have a great weekend and hope you have time for the SOC this week.

    Hello Sharon,
    You go, girl! You keep making those LO's and have inspired me to work on a 12x12- I get sidetracked by making cards! Love the 'then and now' theme. Hope you had a lovely 4th of July :)
