Oh, the Bluebells!

Easter walks at the weekend were a joy in themselves. Little did we know, as we rounded a corner in the woods, that we would be met with the breathtaking sight of a carpet of bluebells, undulating up the hill, between the trees and out of sight.


I combined this awe with my wildcard challenge this month over at Scrapbook Challenges which was to make a layout using one colour that you're not fond of and an embellishment you're uncomfortable with. Mine were: lilac, and flowers. And I have to admit, the challenge proved too much for me. It goes without saying that in responding to the challenge you should come up with something you like; but I'm afraid, despite some photo printing that I'm happy with, I can't get over the lilac, and I'm not entirely in love with my page. Nevermind; I'm sure my little niece-to-be will like it when she sees it - especially as she's the model in the photos.




I also entered the layout for the Pencil Lines challenge this month (using sketch number 234). But I'm wondering, what are your least favourite colours and embellishments, and why?

  1. It's lilac for me too - don't know why because I don't mind wearing a bit of purple, I just don't like to craft with it.

  2. I did a page using a photo of bluebells and the same background paper you used. It would seem it is a difficult colour to use. I like your layout, it is not your usual style though and like you say it is a "challenge"

  4. oh I think it's lovely, but I do understand how it's difficult to do a challenge with something that just doesn't work for you.
