Black With 2 - December Challenge

December already!  I cannot believe this year is almost over.  With a new month also comes a new challenge over on the Black With 2 blog.  Take inspiration from this lovely palette to create a layout or card with a dominant black background. 

 

 

Here's is my take on the December palette

 

 

and here' s a peek at the journaling tag.

 

 

I'm not one to journal much, though I realize the importance of it so I often hide them.  I love how these colors pop off the black background.  Go check out the Black With 2 blog for more inspiration from the design team.

I recently came across a challenge on myscrapsandmore.com, the My Scraps and More's Got Talent.  This is an 8 week challenge that started with the first challenge this week (well June 3rd to be exact).  There is a new challenge each Friday and you have until midnight Thursday to post your layout and continue on in the contest.  This weeks challenge was a color challenge that was to include glimmer mist or distressing as well.  Here's what I came up with.

My layout started with yellow card stock and I sprayed with a yellow / orange and a tinge of red glimmer mist.  The paper is from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist .  I really wanted the focus to be on the picture so I stayed with minimal embellishments including zippers and a clear acrylic piece I've had in my stash for awhile.  I also used some orange floss to add a bit of texture (Thanks to Jennifer Evans for the idea).
