Art Journal Caravan, Wk. 4: Let Loose with Colors

For week 4, one of the prompts was to "let loose with colors," which prompt I took to heart. I find myself reaching for bold colors in order to keep the winter blues away. Orange and Royal blue are my most favorite color combination. The sight of them makes me happy and uplifts my mood.

I extracted, I burnt, I masked, I recolored, I blended modes, I erased, I ran filters...I did so many things I don't think I can replicate this ever again.

(My pc did crash 2 times because of storms in our area...so this is my 3rd attempt.)

Lollipops

Aren't these lollipops the most delicious looking pieces of candy you have seen in a while? They are so big and colorful...so tempting.
On our last day at Great Adventure I bought them for the kids. While the kids were in the rides, I'd have to hold them. Every once in a while I couldn't resist the temptation and would lick one of them. I'd also catch glimpses of people looking at me. I knew they were thinking that I didn't need to be eating 2 lollipops. Oh, the horror!

This layout was done for the We Can Build It Challenge at Scrapbook-Graphics. I used a template by Hillary Heidelberg; didn't use my favorite staple; used a patterned bg. ppr. that I wouldn't normally use; and used a font that I haven't used before.
I must say that I went against my grain today and still like the result. It certainly took me longer than usual to make my page, but well worth the extra time.
