Shannon's July Color challenge

Does anyone remember the color schemes of the 50's? I remember my aunt had all teal appliances for YEARS after!! Not sure I am ready for that trend to come back in my kitchen...but we're bringing it back for your challenge!!

Use the colors in the picture (any or all) for inspiration to create a color-inspired layout!

 

 

And here is Shannon's example

 

Kimberely's 50s Food Challenge

Remember those old TV dinners that were new back then?

They were convenient but they never tasted all that good because everything tasted like metal.

So for this challenge make a layout about food - anything will do, cooking it, eating it, have it on a picture, use it as a title etc. And to remember those dinners, have some metal somewhere on the page.

And look at this wonderful summery page by Celeste.




So make a page about food and join us in the forum.  

Jessica's 50's Challenge

Jessica works for a company that has been around 50+ years. I was doing some rearranging/cleaning a few weeks back and came across this Paymaster check machine.



Her  challenge for you is tools/machines. Dust off your border punches, cricut, scoring board, heat gun, etc..

And here is an example from Jan. 

I LOVE how she used paper that shows and older model camera.  Great job Jan.

Heather's Drive-in challenge

For our 50's Sock Crop Heather brought back the idea of the "drive in" with a shopping list challenge... picture it being on a board with a speaker.

Order up at least three menu items + any number of pictures and include them on your layout. Just like salt and pepper, pen and adhesive are freebies.

5 buttons
3 journaling cards
6 patterned papers
one sheet of cardstock
15 brads
crayons
sketch from a previous Scrapdango challenge
watercolors
Thickers
wood
7 flowers
punched or die-cut items

Yum yum!

And Mary created this stunning page,



Mary used 5 buttons, 6 patterned papers, 1 sheet of cardstock (cut up to mat the photos), 15 brads, Thickers, and a punched circle.


So stop by the forum and show us your page using this challenge.

Member Monday

Another week has come and gone and here we are back to Monday.   This weeks Member for Monday is lostinadream.  I love the yellow mixed in with the stars and buttons.

I love the kits here - they are all a wonderful combination of papers and embellishments with everything coordinated.  All I need to do is reach for something and I know that it will match.  However just like anything else, there are ones which appeal to me more than others.  This month was simply wonderful.  I was truly like a kid in a candy store.  My only problem this month was choosing between things. Since I have been working with these kits, my stash has languished.  I never touch my old things - I don't need to everything I need or want comes from the kit.

 Cards are a favorite of mine. I like to keep a stash of them so I can send them at a moment's notice.

 Double sided paper is like a double dip of ice cream - twice as good.  I really liked using the double sided prints to make the tea bag folded flowers.

 I hide a secret love for chipboard.  It doesn't seem the rage that it once was but it is still a scrapbooker's staple.  I love the little hexagons that were in the kit.  I also used the ink that was in last month's kit to give this page a more masculine feel.

The paper for this page was just so sweet.  it went so well with the pictures.  It was so easy that it almost made itself.
