Happy Monday morning, gang! wyowomanKristin with you today The mornings here in northwest Wyoming definately have that fall snap in them - already! And then with school starting, that rush to get out the door in the morning replacing the lazy slow start of summer mornings - I feel so energized! So let’s embrace fall, shall we?

One of my favorite things to do is browse magazines for color combos that excite me. Martha Stewart’s magazines in particular. Her people are some of the ‘kickingest’ graphic artists, imo. This page comes from her mag Blueprint, but it’s a JCPenney ad, so probably didn’t come from ‘her people’ LOL.

There is so much in this ’simple’ photo that makes my fingers itch to open up Photoshop. The colors of course - an awesome green and brown combo is aways A+ in my book. This kiwi green is a tad brighter I think for this fall’s go-around. Also notice the straight lines of the furniture laths contrasting with the wavy lines of the bedding. The circle patterns of the bedding? the jumbo white floral print on the pillow? mmm… Even look a little closer — how about just those colors of the flowers on the nightstand? With the green and brown combo, they are a small but significant punch of color. And on their own with an otherwise mostly cream and white page? You can picture that by looking at them with the wall, window treatment and lamp. And don’t over look the rug. It’s a work of art itself. Brings to mind a neat design of color blocking for a scrap page., doesn’t it?

Ahh, now to open up photoshop and let some of this mojo flow! Join me? And link us up to your creations. Happy scrapping! ~ Kristin
