Lasting Memories is trying to take us scrapbookers out of our comfort zones this month by asking us to scrap something in a different style than our usual, and one of the challenges involved using a color we dislike or find difficult to use. Because I'm pretty comfortable with most colors of the spectrum, I've been slow to attempt this, but I started thinking about this color Harbour that CTMH came out with last year.
Even though I ordered a couple of sheets of cardstock in Harbour, I could never decide whether it's a blue or green shade and how it should be combined with other colors, so my cardstock sat unused until I forced myself to take it out and put it to work on a layout. I ended up using the lighter side as my background and title letters and the darker side for the wavy strip and the game controller. Although I still can't tell you whether it's green or blue, it's definitely grown on me, so thank you to Lasting Memories for your fun challenge!

Your layout is beautiful, Cheryl! It is hard to tell what color that is...maybe just call it blue-green! Whatever it is it looks great on your layout! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Lasting Memories!
