Loving life in the comfort zone!!

This week's colour challenge at Design Dollies is smack-bang in the middle of my comfort zone, and sometimes that's a nice place to be.   I *love* orange, brown and white together.  I based my layout on the current challenge at Sketchy Thursdays:





Also loving the delve into my old stash - the Autumn Leaves paper and the WRMK alphas have been floating around for ages!  I loved altering the chipboard to suit my layout - with my favourite Making Memories paint ('Chocolate', of course) and my new favourite 'Vintage Photo' Distress Stickles... and of course I had to add stitching because a KB layout is never quite right without stitching!

    Love the stitching around the photos - so cool with the bling! I've always admired the way you use orange - I find it so difficult to work with!
