Orange is the new pink!

I've always been a pink sort of girl...but lately, I just seem so drawn to orange and yellow hues. Maybe it's because they're such bright, happy, summery colours, and with temperatures of 43 celsius right now, summer is definitely HERE!

So I dug out all my orange papers last night and went in search for more inspiration on challenge blog sites. I came across ScrapbookSavvy, and they sure seem like a load of fun girls with oodles of amazing talent! A quick scroll through through their gallery, and I just couldn't wait to join in! Decided to try the 54321 first (what a clever concept!), and this is what I came up with:Now, I don't normally do "simple" and clean very well, so the above is about as simple and clean as I'll ever get. Am so happy with how it turned out though. My 5 embellishments are 2 Hambly stickers, some Hambly transparency (pink circles), a scrap of ribbon, and a My Mind's Eye diecut bracket. 4 staples - tick. 3 alphas are Carolees, Pink Paislee and American Crafts - my favourite alphas around. 2 papers are Scenic Route background paper and the strip off a piece of Sassafrass Lass (the scalloped piece). 1 photo...easy :)
Well, that was fun...decided to have another go, and tried the Cybercrop 321 this time. My 3 colours are orange, white and red. 2 photos - check. 1 rhinestone embellishment = the title. To embellish, I used more leftover strips of Sassafrass paper, more My Mind's Eye diecuts, and a whole sheet of Basic Grey stickers = the flowers. Pity I didn't have enough to make the right and left join up for a complete frame. Still pretty happy with how this turned out though:
