Inspired by Colors with Marie H Designs

Hi ! I am Marie from Marie H Designs and I am here with a new “Inspired by Colors”

blog post.

In this blog I want to talk to you about special kits that, instead of having multiple

colors, have usually one color in different shades: the monochrome kits.

The Monochrome kit contains one color from light to dark and it most cases you will

have neutrals like black and white. You can also find some variant with a Blue kit that

would have 2-3 different blue (baby, royal and navy) with the sades and neutral.

These monochrome kits are so useful when you want to either showcase an emotion 

(see my previous post HERE) or to make the photo stand out.

 I have created a small series of monochromatic kits that spotlight one color and that

makes the layouts stand out. In all these kits you will find one dominant color with

different shades of it, black and white. Each of these can help you to bring the color of 

something in your photo or on the opposite do a contrast and show an emotion.

As you can see in this layout. I used Overjoyed Orange as it was matching the suit my

daughter was wearing.   

In this one, Lou has created a color layout with Youthful Yellow that matches the

flowers in the photo and made it very cheerful.

I have created Gracefuly Grey because I had a hard time finding kits for specific photos
that had way to many colors in it. I used it for this sweet layout of 2 of my daughters
and as it had many colors I wanted to tone it down a bit and get the attention on the
photo.

If you want to request a specific color for a monochrome kit I would like to hear from 
you. I want to continue to create some and would like some ideas.

I want to see your layouts and you are welcome to join me in my monthly challenge in
the My Memories Forum HERE.

 I’ve been designing since 2002 and I’ve been with MyMemories since 2012. I love designing scrap kits and spend a lot of time on my computer each day making new things. I get a lot of my inspiration from my family for the kits that I make. They also serve to be my biggest critics and tell me when something really stinks before I release it.

 I have one daughter, ReAnna, two living sons, Zachary and Dylan, a deceased son, Freddy, one daughter-in-law, Tesla (Dylan’s wife), and two grandchildren, Riley and Remington. I also have many furbabies: two cats, Vader and Negan, and three dogs, Dixon, Maggie, and Zoey.

Although I spend most of my free time designing, I do break away for other hobbies and activities. I love to crochet and read. I am totally hooked on end of the world/disaster movies. And I haven’t missed an episode of Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Law & Order, or the Pretty Little Liars series. I also have full custody of my granddaughter so with the spring and summer months upon us there will be lots of outdoor playtime and swimming in the pool.

I’ve added many new items to my store in the past few weeks with more coming soon. These include some new quick pages, frame packs, overlays, paper packs, commercial use products, and new and re-done scrap kits.

Here’s a glimpse at a few, but there are many more in the store.

Why Scrapbooking? With QueenBrat Designs

 Welcome back to my blog series about why scrapbooking. This time I have chosen “to tell a story” as our project.

To begin your scrapping project you will need the following:

1. A digital software program capable of opening .jpg and .png files. I recommend My Memories Suite. You can purchase the latest version of this software at MyMemories.com. You can use my code STMMMS64124 and save $10 on your purchase.

2. Gather your photos. This is your chance to use a series of photos or if you have one photo that tells the whole story that is great!

3. A scanner to scan your photos onto your computer.  

4. Digital graphics that include digital backgrounds and embellishments (flowers, frames, ribbons, bows, etc…) to decorate your scrapbook page. I have oodles of digital graphic scrap kits available for sell in my MyMemories.com store here with themes for holidays, sports, love, memories, and much more.

5. A cup of coffee and some creative inspiration!

Are you ready to give today’s project a try?

I’ve chosen a few different layouts for my “to tell a story” pages to show you.

With Memorial Day just around the corner now is a great time to make a few pages for the heroes in your family. I used my kit “Our Heroes” for this layout of my Dad.

 My second choice is my grandson, Riley, having some fun in the leaves. 

It was made using my kit “Autumn Moods”.

 And here is another one picture story teller. One of the happiest days of my life was when I became a grandma for the first time! I used my kit that was made special for this little man. It’s called “Patrick Riley”.

 

And my last choice is from my kit “Yankee Doodle Picnic”. Memorial Day and Forth of July were always a time for family and cookouts. This was one from a few years back that includes some family members that have passed on.

I hope you enjoyed the second post in my “Why Scrapbooking” series.  Tune in July 18^th for my next post.
