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!
