Scrapbookers Generosity

I posted a request for any 2peas scrappers who have extra "stuff" we're not using to send it to Eastfield for our Relay For Life Scrapbooking Basket.  I didn't really expect an answer, so I can say that it was overwhelming to get four very generous offers already!  I know that scrappers are generally creative, sensitive people (like us, of course!).  But now I know we can add generous and compassionate to that list.

A special "Twisted Sisters Scrappers" salute and prayer request goes out to new Sister, Heidi in Iowa.  She is dealing with a new diagnosis of autism for her super young man!  You've got friends in NC, Heidi!  You are loved!

Here it is, this may stretch some of you I am not sure.

Let's see if you have thought of this before, I got this idea from taking Beth's class at Big Picture Scrapbooking, Color Me Happy Album for Week 2! Here is the challenge:

When you're feeling creative, what colors do you usually go for - when creating something? List your 5 most-used colors , and explain why you choose them. What feelings in you - do they evoke? What emotions/feelings do they represent to you? Share why you choose the colors you do.

My most-used/favorite colors are:

1. Hot pink - I want everyone to look at what I've put up — take notice.

2. Bright yellow - especially next to black - stands out and is energectic. (Now that I'm reading back over my responses - I found out that these two colors are the Steelers colors and as all of Eastfield knows.....I am a HUGE fan! GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!)

3. Bight orange - because I taught at East Jr. and became a huge fan of orange.

4. Bright blue - it's calming but yet looks great with hot pink or hot yellow.

4. Bright green. - goes with the bight blue - can you just see the blue and green together. It just makes see it and yet is calming

Elaine's comment: Go Steelers! Indeed!

List your 5 most-used colors, and explain why you choose them. What feelings in you - do they evoke? What emotions/feelings do they represent to you? Share why you choose the colors you do.

My most-used/favorite colors are:

1.  Green seems to be the shade that speaks to me most.  On "My Dad's Last Garden", I spent two hours in AC Moore, wandering with pictures in hand, looking for the exact shade to represent the new spring growth.  Green brings me alive, except for those pukey shades, which really turn me.

2.  Blues. All shades of blue.  Blues are my serenity shades.

3.  Red and all shades of it seem to be my inspired color.  When I've done something off the track for me, it usually has something to do with RED.  (That doesn't explain my blue sequined hooker skirt!)

4.  I feel at peace with lavenders and tans, browns.  I guess these are my Earth connection colors.

5.  The two colors I tend to wince at and never use are orange and yellow.  If I use either, I have to be in a very special mood and the color has to be a distinct shade, usually very bright. 

Color is usually the first thing that attracts me, followed quickly by texture.
