Hiking Layout ~ Color Dare #391

This is a fun color challenge from out design team at Color My Heart Color Dare. Using the chart seen below, pick ONE COLOR and use THREE SHADES of that color on your project. Black, White and Neutrals are free to use.

For my layout I used three shades of blue: a light, medium and dark blue along with grey. The photos inspired the use of these colors. My design came from How-to books called Cherish. Although this book has been retired we have many more that are really great and help make scrapbooking and card making easy! Because our cardstock has a two shades per sheet it worked perfectly for this challenge. As you can see I've used both sides of the grey and blue to create contrast.

I used our Cricut - Your Are Here collection for the images. This is a great collection of images with a theme of travel, staycations, etc. This collection....and many more.....are available by clicking on the Cricut link in the upper right of my blog. Using this link gives you access to ALL Cricut products plus ALL Close To My Heart collections both current and retired!!!

 The light blue paper comes from our current special These Are My People. This special includes stamps, papers, digital images you can purchase alone or in bundles! Click here to see all the options.

Just for fun I added some hiking boot die cuts and dotted a line from one to the other like a trail on a map. I also added some of our silver sequins for some eye candy. The twine on the tags was fringed using a piercing tool to pull apart the threads. The journal piece was left blank because my granddaughter will fill in the details when I mail this off to her.
