The Color Room

Another Week, another Challenge

The Color Room has a new sponser this month, and the combos are sooooo pretty

Morgan - Lukes cousins little girl (who isn't so little anymore) she was flower girl for her uncle, totally totally cute, just kept this so simple but I do like it a bit ;)

The Color Room

Latest Palette for The Color Room is up, such soft pretty colours too :)

Finally managed to get my layout in on time too, thankfully.

It was our last of the Prima colour palettes also :( I was really loving those.

Darling - he is my sometimes darling boy. I really do love this photo, Dea looks so peaceful (unlike his crazy usual self)

xx

stuff I never showed :)

so you thought you all had gotten rid of me ;)

well here's a couple layouts that I never got around to sharing. whoops, so many things happening, this one I've had finished for about 3 weeks.

Revheads - Pretty self explanatory huh??? Photos from our family shoot in October last year. Still LOVING them Ali. We do love cars and Luke and I have raced a few different forms of motor sport since we started dating. Kids have grown up around every time of machine avaliable and they all would rather watch drags then cartoons.

Love - another photo from back in October. LOVE this photo of mum and dad. So natural and perfect. This was for The Color Room Palette 55. Looks so different from what the colours really are though, strange.

and lastly another The Color Room layout that is a few weeks old now

Precious - Stole this photo from Catie ;) of her utterly adorable twinnies.....

Here's the Story......

How fast are these weeks going, just feels like I shared my last The Color Room layout with you.

These colours are fantastic, but I really didn't know what to do, kept it simple and a little arty too. I'm really loving to gesso old book pages down on my background :) prepare to see that alot more. lol. all I needed on this was a couple simple embellishments, of course, since we are Prima sponsered this month I HAD to pull out my prima stash ;) ;) ;) (needed so much arm twisting there)

Here's The Story - Would you believe it if I told you that both these boys were sitting in the backs of their Tonka trucks????? well it's true. I put Adam in the back of his to grab a few photos and along came Dea with his truck (yes all my boys have their own Tonka Trucks) plonked it down beside Adam, and sat in the back. They started 'chatting' and playing which is always so beautiful to watch. End result a happy mummy with some lovely photos.

THE COLOR ROOM

New Palette is up at The Color Room and it is a whole lot of fun. Even more exciting is that this marks ONE YEAR and for the next month we are having Prima inspired palettes *sigh* can it get much better than that

Adore You - Another of Charlottes photos, don't you love new pics to get you all inspired :) this little chicky just makes my heart skip a beat. Using all Prima on this layout, mixed some old with some very new (notice some of these flowers are in the palette) I was actually a little nervous with these colours to start with but I'm really enjoying the way it has turned out. Even used my Cricut :)

 Leave you with a million pics of my flowers (some I made, using Prima paper)

Do hope to see you over and playing along this week.

Welcome to The Color Room Blog Hop

.

Hi!!

Welcome to the Color Room’s First annual Blog HOP.

We are celebrating our 50^th Palette, and we have some amazing things to share with you this week.

You can see the palette HERE

You have just come from NAOMI’s blog, how talented is she

Here is what I created from the ‘whitewashed’ His Room Palette

ekkkk (this was a challenge for me, where's my bright colours, hehehe)I do have to admit though this has now turned into one of my favourites

Just for something fun here's a few things you may or may not already know about me ;)

UPCLOSE AND PERSONAL with

“Nicole Pomeroy”

1.      I am from Queensland Australia (not going to mention the town cause you'd find me EASILY) and I am currently Designing for The Color Room, Helmar, Annas Craft Cupoard, Scrap the Boys, Kraft it Up and Get Picky (yes I'm busy) 

2.      I Live with my husband and our four children, our dog and a million other creatures who have decided to make our place home too

3.      On my desk right now you will find: (how long do you have) scissors, messy paint and mist splatters, tape backs, scraps of paper, the odd flower, material, gesso, bling, my dymo, a ruler, pens, a box of dt projects, usually my phone and my camera too, ummm I think I will stop before I embarass myself. You can probably tell I need to clean up.

4.      My favourite colours to work with at the moment:  yellow, umm yellow and maybe aqua. But yep I'm loving yellow, oh and green

5.      What kind of themes do you often scrap? Not a huge theme scrapper. You will find pages on the kids birthdays but they aren't full blown birthday related layouts, and I don't think I've ever scrapped Christmas, I just do whatever, more of a moment person and just becuase I like scrapping.

6.      Where do you scrap?  I am VERY lucky to have my own scrap space. It's still a work in progress but I love having all my artwork around me :)

7.      What is your scrapping process?  Scrap Process.... is that a trick question?? I don't really have a process, sometimes I will start with a photo, other times I'll create a background and then you have those times where you just start throwing things a a piece of card and hope for the best.

8.      My favourite food: I'd like to say chocolate but right now I'm trying to loose the last few kg's of baby weight so it's just not doing it for me. Really though I say fruit. I love summer because of all the stone fruit and the melons. Fruit bat from way back.

9.      My top 3 favourite tools: scissors, HS distresser, sewing machine

10.  I get my inspiration from: many places, magazines, the internet, surfing blogs, nature, letting my kids design my backgrounds ;) my fellow DT members

11. This week I've decided to create my background from material, I hunted down an old pair of denim shorts and ended up cutting off the legs (I now have a pair of shorty shorts, win win really). Measured out the size I wanted, cut it out and then this is where it gets fun :)

- you need to find an object to use for distressing, something that is coarse, I used a pumice stone thingy to start with, you can use a very heavy sandpaper too.

-I've also dropped bleech in places

- Once this had been washed, I realised it wasn't distressed enough so I used a serrated edge knife (trust me should have used this first place much easier and really tears into the fabric) 

- Last step I used my Heidi Swapp mask and some gesso to add dots randomly.

(Don't mind everything scattered around my project ;) )

The Color Room, Again ;)

New Palette is up at The Color Room you might want to check it out ;) ;) ;)

Gorgeous gorgeous colours, I did have fun playing around with this and kept pretty much with the sketch too

Girly - Miss is sooooo girly, loves her skirts, her dresses and PINK. Pulled out my Prima stash for this one, all these pretty flowers, some very old ones but I do love the black on black.

So for my first DT layout I'm pretty happy :)

and SUPER excited.

The Color Room

I've been playing along with The Color Room again lately, unfortunately I've been terribly slack and I haven't uploaded my layouts. To tell the truth I've only just photographed them, there was no point when I haven't had a mouse for the computer...... Kids, scissors, temptation.......

Very Lucky - Just beautiful photos of mum with the kids. Something we will always cherish and I hope they will too. Just playing around with some GORGEOUS Webster's Pages and a few other little bits. I was a little ekkkk, when I saw this combo, but LOVE how it has turned out.

Fast - Dea just goes and goes and goes. He is the most energetic of all four kids. Never seems to stop or tire. Quite amazing really for a little lad. Love my Tape background, so fun and fast. Mix of My Little Shoebox here, worked perfectly with the combo. I do love the colour of the photo though and it gives it a little more punch.

Mwah - When I first saw the colours of this palette I was a little thrown. So I kept it fairly mono with the pink and added small touches of red, orange and brown. I like this photo of Charlotte, love her eyelashes and that where the theme of this came from. She has superlong lashes and loves to give sweet butterfly kisses. Again some beautiful Websters Pages in this one.
