A Couple of CCG layouts

Since joining the Prism team, I've been using the Color Combos Galore challenges as a place to try out cardstock focused layouts. It is so natural to do. I get four colors, I find four closely matching cardstocks, and I go to work.

Yes, Great Wall pictures! I took probably several hundreds that day, but I've only scrapped 6 so far! Beijing is a bit overrated if you ask any Shanghai'nese, lol, but the Wall, whatever the hype, it lives up to it! Seriously! I go to the Forbidden City. I look around. I say, Emperor dude, this is no way for the royalty to live! Talk to Louis at Versailles and take some notes! LOL. But the Wall, the Wall, it's no wonder that it is a Wonder!


Here is the latest CCG challenge, colors chosen by yours truly! I recently received a RAK from Pamela Young, one of the Rusty Pickle chefs. I used the RP papers she sent me for this layout. I also used a sheet of Daisy D rubon on the dark green colored cardstock. I had never done that before, using a whole rubon to create my own custom background. It was liberating to let my stash go!! *laugh* Simple layout, eh? It'll do... it'll do...
