China: Gala Dinner

Hey y'all, it's China Sunday!  Oh wait, it's Monday....okay, I forgot to post this yesterday!  So we're doing it now and guess what.  This is the next-to-last China layout.  Woo!

The Great Wall Marfon people had a "gala dinner" after the race, so that's what these pictures are from.  It wasn't extremely terrible, but it wasn't all that great either, and when we took these pics I think we were all ready to go home the next day.  The So Saffron pattern came from the Sweet Pea DSP stack which is not quite 12x12, which annoys me endlessly, so that's why the yellow strip doesn't go all the way to the edges of the layout.

Color palette today:  Cameo Coral (that's been retired forever!), Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron, Marina Mist, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

Gotta get the kiddo up so we can get breakfast and head to the Y.  Cheers, y'all!

Supplies, mostly SU!

China: Road Trip Rockslide

Happy Sunday, y'all!  And let's here it for another China layout :)

See the pics here.  The first thing we did in Guilin was hop in a van and take a 2-hour trip into the mountains, which got derailed slightly by a bit of a rockslide.  And also we saw water buffalo on the streets (and then later we ate one of their cousins at lunch).

I wanted to call attention to all the dirt of the rockslide, and that's why I chose the long-retired Close to Cocoa for my page base.  I picked Regal Rose for the title to go with my Sanrio friend who lived in the van we rode in, and then green and yellow because it's Missy's fault that now I think Baylor colors belong everywhere.  On an unrelated note, my kid is wearing a Baylor shirt today.  He looks good in green.

Today's color palette:  Close to Cocoa, Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Regal Rose, Night of Navy, and Whisper White.  Seems a little odd when you look at the palette but I think it works on the layout when it's all together with the pictures.

Okay!  Sunday muffins are about to come out of the oven.  Peace out, y'all!
