MMC - June 17 - Challenge #3
This third MMC challenge is going to be a color challenge. ;)  During the last MMC's, I posted a guessing game to guess the 2 main colors of my backyard deck/patio flowers.  The answer was purples/yellows. :)  These are known as complementary colors (opposites on the color wheel), which means they make each other stand out even more, thus one of the reasons I chose those colors (that, and they look good with my grey-green siding on my house).

For this challenge, you have 3 options.  Choose one of them:

Option 1:  Create a layout using yellow & violet, like my garden (meaning no other colors in your papers and embellishments, just tints and shades of these 2 colors and neutrals). You will earn a bonus entry in the prize drawing if you add flower embellishments (3 or more) to your layout - for this option only! ;)

Option 2:  Create a layout using another pair of complementary colors (opposites on the color wheel) as the main color scheme (meaning no other colors in your papers and embellishments, just tints and shades of these 2 colors and neutrals).  You could choose red & green, or blue & orange.  If you want to get fancy, you could choose yellow-orange & blue-violet, for example, as they are also direct opposites on the more detailed color wheel. 

Option 3:  Create a layout using the colors (meaning no other colors in your papers and embellishments, just tints and shades of these 2 colors and neutrals) you guessed in my garden guessing game (can't do this option if you didn't already guess).  Here is the link, in case you forgot what you guessed.    MMC - little game - Page 3 - ACOT Message Board (acherryontop.com)
If you guessed more than once, use the colors in your first guess, but if you guessed correctly the first time (Monroe1218, Flasher, Retiree3, and CathyG89) use the second colors guessed, if you like.  

You have until midnight, Monday, July 24th to upload your layout into the gallery spot I've provided to be entered in the prize drawing.
*Must be a new layout.
*CANNOT be combined with other challenges, except for motivational challenges that require multiple layouts, such as the Bi-Monthly or the new Team Challenge.

I KNEW you would be integrating the color wheel in at least one of your challenges!  Great challenge.  I have hung my color wheel on the wall to remind me to use it more.  Thanks for the inspiration!

I chose blue and yellow for your flowers - I love the option of using that combination for a layout. 

Have you scrapped about the different color combinations you've used over the years? That would be a fun page, to see them all together!

Hmmm... Do I want to stretch myself and use something other than green and red? Or do I want to just use green and red? I'm probably gonna just use green and red....

I actually haven’t done that.  It will be a challenge to see if I took photos each year, though.  I have the past few years, but I have kind of stuck with this color scheme since I did it in 2020…it’s my favorite with my backyard and deck. :)

Here is my entry using Option 1 -- violet/purple and yellow, plus 4 flowers for the bonus!  It is also posted in the Gallery spot!  (My stupid scanner keeps cutting off my right edge!  😠)

OCD is not an adjective.  It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized.  It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. 💙 I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son. 💙

I felt pretty lucky when I realized that my wrong guess of pink and purple would look great on a layout! My 9 year old daughter was my inspiration and helper.

This heat wave? My pool flowers are going to brown and dead. It's horrible and so is waiting for relief in the form of storms!!
