I've always been a bit averse to purple - not because I dislike the colour, but because I find it really hard to coordinate the different shades. So this really was a challenge for me! I added a smidgen of teal/turquoise as a minor accent colour just like the photos in the inspiration board, and I 'm happy with the result. Here's my layout:
This is one of my favourite photographs from 2013 - taken at the Creekside Cafe at Dolphin Marine Magic in Coffs Harbour, on my daughter's birthday.
