orange & brown

Fact: I grew up in the 1970’s. 

And I have evidence.

Yep. That's me on the left.

Surrounded by orange and brown. 

The colors make me cringe. 

My orange/brown PTSD initially made this week’s Inspired By challenge seem a little daunting, but my love of all things fall and those gorgeous flowers helped make this an easy color combo fear to overcome!!

Inspired By …. Wreath #IB306

I was inspired by the gorgeous flowers and fabulous fall colors.... YES, even orange and brown!!

I put my Concord & 9th Primrose Garden dies to use for the first time, how GREAT are these dies?!

And Concord & 9th cardstock colors are just dreamy! 

Although I was really trying to challenge myself to keep my card colors similar to the inspiration photo, I failed, and ended up adding a pop of color with the green leaves and the ‘vintage’ 2007 Cosmo Cricket paper background.

Don't know if I should be proud or embarrassed by this 17 year old piece of paper in my collection!!

Where does time go?! Have I really been paper crafting for this long?! yikes.

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations on the Inspired By blog - hope you will be inspired to play along with us this week!

Thanks for stopping by!!
