Wrapping up "Colour! Or is it Color?"

I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I last posted.  Time has been flying by so quickly.  I did manage to finish almost everything for my first class at Big Picture Classes.

The next color in the rainbow was purple...indigo...violet.  I like purple, and I feel like I often wear purple, but when I went through my photos, I had a hard time finding something that really highlighted the color.  In the end, I went with a soft purple: my niece's shirt.  I do like the feeling of this, and was happy with the final project.

The Build It project for purple was fairly simple, and I spread it out of two pages. 

I was inspired by a LO in the gallery to go for a deep, dark purple and focus on the elegant feeling of purple.  I scrapped the formal photos from our cruise in February.  I really like the feeling of how it turned out. I even stitched, layered, stamped, and rolled the edges of the paper to create dimension.

The last week of the class was on neutrals. I thought that this would be so easy. Ha!  I spent one whole evening, scrapping with dear friend Deborah, just completing the color cards for black and white.  I was really feeling stuck and uninspired.  I think that I like color a lot, and found all of the color cards much easier to complete.  However, when they I finally finished, I did like the feeling.

There was one last Built It exercise for the class, and this is the one that I did not complete.  I felt like I did learn all of the techniques and I got a lot out of the experience.  I've already signed up for the next class that I am going to take...with Ali Edwards.  It looks great.  Check it out here.
