Weekly Challenge #191 (6/26 to 07/09)

http://www.mousescrappers.com/forums...9&postcount=63Hi, folks! Yes.. this is a TWO week challenge because of the holiday!!

For the rules...

1. All layouts MUST be Disney related
2. Layouts should be uploaded to the MouseScrappers Gallery, the appropriate forum for your layout, and a link posted in this thread!
3. Use of quick pages is NOT allowed! You have to work for that PP!

Here are the rules of the challenge:

We're going to try something a little different. I will be giving you a color palette and your mission is to use at least THREE colors from that palette in your layout. This doesn't mean photos.. it means the colors of your papers and elements. Please remember to give proper credits to all designer whose product you may use, and you may mix and match so long as you use three colors. (You may use all of the colors, the minimum is three.) You may use other colors, but again.. you must THREE of the palette colors.

That said.. here is your color palette to work with for this challenge! Isn't Maleficent just beautiful? As your layouts will be with her colors!



Upon completion of your layout, you will receive this lovely mini kit (Pixie Dust)from Connie Prince.



Remember.. we have two weeks this time around! I am really looking forward to seeing your layouts. Again, I do post them on Pinterest.. if anyone objects to this, please include this right along with your post.

I'll be back later on to post my layout!! Post any questions you may have in the thread!

ADDITION TO THIS CHALLENGE: SEE POST 63 FOR PART TWO!

Nice! I can't wait to have a few minutes to play! I love the color palette but how do I get those exact colors in my LO? I'm still fairly new at this.

What I do is keep the color palette handy and start looking through my stash. I open the paper and move it so it touches the palette. If it is close.. it's a winner!!

Most designers use color palettes when designing their kits. So if you find papers that match the color palette... the elements should fall right into line.

I hope this makes sense!! Just get close as you can to the colors of the palette!! And you will be golden!

This is really bugging me. You said this previously. Just get as close as you can.

Close is one thing. Any shade is another. Everyone has lots of kits. The hope was for people not to rush into a layout, but to take time to look for that close.
Mixing and matching kits if needed.

However, I stand by my decision to let you all have input and I dropped Connie a note for hers. You may be "bugged" by this, but I am as well. I don't see the close at all. And that was the challenge.

So, let's not argue that point. Just get the input. I can live with that. Hopefully, you can as well.
