A Kit Tip

I keep meaning to mention this and always forget. I thought I better create a post about it because some of the kits might be arriving today. When you add items to the rings (or whatever they are called), use your thumb and forefinger to slightly push them together as illustrated.

You would have figured this out yourself, but since I've already traveled down the learning curve you may as well know up front.  It makes adding stuff much easier and eliminates the need for reinforcements. Although, reinforcements certainly look cool:)

Since I'm here I'll tell you about my color palette epiphany. We were in the car the other day and I said to Brian, "Look at that.....my purse is the PERFECT color palette." "It includes a little bit of so many colors and marries them perfectly." He said, "yeah....but they are on a black background." I know, I didn't think it made sense either. I guess he meant one couldn't make those colors work together without black. Whatever.

Well, I didn't do a great job of photographing. Sorry. That unidentifiable color towards the top is a light sage green. You can see it a bit better at the bottom. So, we have coral, light coral, olive, sage green, mustard, red:) and cobalt. Wow, that's a lot of different colors. Both orange and turquoise would work in this mix as well. As I've said, I like to decorate with background colors that allow for accessorizing in any color combination. I'm using an olive shade for my living room walls and a vintage aqua for my dining room and kitchen. These rooms are all open to each other. I'll be able to use pretty much any color against the olive/aqua back drop.

I wasn't thinking about my purse when I made this tag, but I plan to make something soon with my purse being the inspiration. When I made this tag I had forgotten about my purse/color epiphany. I'll not forget it again! With the tag I was thinking about using lots of varying colors together. I wanted to experiment with greens mixed with pink and aqua.

 

I think it might have looked better with a bit of mustard/gold and black! Maybe Brian was onto something after all. Black truly is one of the best neutrals I've ever seen:)

yum. I like the tag just the way it is! I think all colors go together and most patterns...The purse would be adorable even without the black! I think that book in the box you have is sooo awesome too.

The kit looks more petite with your hand there. I can't ever visualize the size of something even with the dimensions given to me.
Oh, and I see red bingo cards. :0)

I think the black "marries" the colors together. My mother had a rug with a very similar color scheme, and it was always a favorite.
