This is the 15th post in a 31 Day series: Creative Inspiration. Check out all the posts here.
It is the Color Combo Blog Hop today! This is the third time I have participated (I think?!), but it is a monthly event and lots of fun. We are given a color combo and can use it to make something, anything we want. It is a great excuse for me to crank out a scrapbook page especially if I haven't done one in a while, which I haven't.
You should have found your way here from Sue's blog. Thanks to Amy for hosting.
Color does great for inspiration, don't you think? And so does a challenge? And what better deadline than a blog hop? More great support for an online habit, like I discussed in yesterday's post. Blog hops are awesome like that.
And today you get to experience one first hand. Hop on to the other blogs to see what the other ladies did with one of the color combos. We were given three to choose from. I chose this one:
Here is my scrapbook page. I purchased the patterned paper (yellow & gold) & the dimensional flowers in Delhi, so I thought they were perfect for this page which is about our Elephant ride in Jaipur, India in the state of Rajasthan.
I still need to add journaling. I want to ask my kids about their memories of this exciting and unforgettable ride. And I just realized I misspelled unforgettable, the title! So I am not quite done, but you get the main idea!
What inspires you? Is it color? If so, what is your favorite color combo?
Next on the hop is Michelle. Please continue on as there are lots more color inspiration after me, all with a fall color scheme. If you should get lost, see below for a list of all the participants on todays' hop!
Thanks for stopping by and please come again!

The flowers are so dainty and beautiful, as is the rest of your layout. It's great getting to see different parts of the world through this Hop.

Beautiful layout! I chose the same color combination :) I like how the brown letters of your title compliment the gorgeous gray and yellow paper.

Fantastic pictures. I love the idea of using your kids' words for the journalling. Hope you can find another T!

This works so well. I was looking at the title and wondering but couldn't workout what was wrong - and I call myself a teacher:0)
