Meme Challenge for 1/25/06

I got this off two peas and thought it was a great question.

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.

I try to mix things up. I use a lot of greens and browns because I take a lot of outside photographs. I usually use color photographs and draw my colors from the pictures. I have been branching out some lately and buying bolder papers I like and converting my photos to b/w if I need to. Usually in my digital scrapping, I go for brighter colors. I just did a paper layout earlier this week with brown, pink and light green and I LOVE that combo! I think it's my new fav. It's so fun! I do try to think of the feelings the colors will evoke on my layout. If it's a layout of serene landscape photographs, I use the earthy tones, but if it's a layout of a party, I usually brighten things up.

Great job on this challenge! I thought I had a hard time associating colors with feelings, but your post made more sense. LOL :) Your neighbor to the south - Heather
