How co-ordinated!








I am determined to use up old stash on this challenge....and that is a challenge in itself! I am a very co-ordinated person. If I am wearing red shoes then I will have an item of clothing or accessories with red on also, the same with my pink coat...a pink hat to match. I just find it hard not to co-ordinate. So when you only have one piece of the patterned paper that co-ordinates with the photos you need to find other scraps of papers to co-ordinate with it. So this month I have been throwing caution to the wind and not so much co-ordinating but clashing colours, papers and accessories.

The other thing I wanted to achieve is to use different colours for each month. And do you know I think it has worked! The purple, orange and greens look pretty good together and adding the 2-dimensional flowers and butterflies seem to pull the whole four pages together.

  1. Your clashing works beautifully!
    I'm the same with co-ordinating - my over-flowing accessories box and handbag collection will attest to this habit :)
    I really love the use of the envelope in the centr of the first LO, its so effective in that the plain-ness of it really enhances the embellishments around it. Lovely!
