Life.Paper.Scrapbook | August Colour Challenge...

Hello Friends!  Can you believe we are half way through August!! OMGosh!  Where has the time gotten away from me!  Anyway...! Life.Paper.Scrapbook has another awesome colour challenge for you to try!  Check this out...

 
I was pretty excited when I first saw this colour palette!  Yay for orange!  *grin*  And then, I didn't use much of that particular colour at all on my layout.  Just a little in the title! sigh...
 
"Make It Work" 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft, Bazzill; pp - Fancy Pants, Jillibean Soup; alpha - Jillibean Soup; other - Greatest View badge/flair, sequins, twine; bulldog clip, Pretty Little Studio: journaling card, train check; American Crafts Dear Lizzy cardstock shape, mist, gelatos, staple, ink, washi tape; tools - typewriter, The Crafter's Workshop stencil, hole punch.

This is a moment I wanted to document for Ethan about his school project.  As he is in Grade Two, he and his classmates are only now starting to work on projects other than spelling and maths.  This year he is learning more with subjects such as Science and History in the junior school curriculum.  He absolutely loves experimenting.  This project was all about motion.  The students had to build a car, at home, that could move down a ramp.  His was made from a recycled pizza box and supplies he found in my scrapbooking desk!  Yikes!! I'm sure he would have "blinged" that car up had he found my stash of rhinestones and glitter!  *grin*
 


I had a little play with my new gelatos too.  I used a stencil from The Crafters WorkShop and then added extra splashes of glimmer mist and sequins from Greatest View.


 
The Story badge/flair is also from Greatest View.  And this is one of my favourites!! *wink*
