Scrapbook Remix Prompt One - Banquet

I am in no way keeping up with the prompts in Shimelle's ongoing class, Scrapbook Remix, however I do have a second layout to share based on prompt one. The first challenge was to use one color of paper in multiple tones to create a monochromatic layout, which I did with my Laundry Room Remodel layout. The second challenge was to use two colors, and I once again scraplifted the design of Shimelle's sample layout.

I choose my two colors (maroon & blue) based on colors in my photos and a logo I had cut from a shirt. I'm very pleased with the way this turned out, particularly since I probably would not have chosen these two colors without this fun challenge.

This layout is a classic example of using poorer quality photos - one is a little washed out while the other is too dark, but I was determined to use them both since they are the only two I have of me wearing a sari for the first (and only!) time.

I must admit that there were quite a few safety pins holding that sari in place and I did trip over it a couple of times during the banquet, but I certainly felt elegant in that beautiful material that was brought from India especially for me! I also have a new respect for anyone who can gracefully wear five yards of material all day long without one single safety pin!
