Welcome to The Color Room's first annual blog hop!!!!


Hi!!
Welcome to the Color Room’s First annual Blog HOP





We are celebrating our 50th Palette, and we have some amazing things to share with you this week.
See the palette HERE!!!
You have just come from Tajanee’s blog, loved her project this week!!!
Here is what I created from the ‘whitewashed’ His Room Palette




Some things you may not know about me......


1.    I am from Osaka, Japan and I am currently designing for Bo Bunny, Webster's Pages, Zva Creative, Imaginarium Designs, No Scrap, No Life! (Japanese kit shop), and Подари кусочек счастья (Ukraine Challenge Site).
2.    I am divorced and I live with my daughter Nanami, my parents, little sister and brother, and 2 dogs (Lili and Yume). I know lot of family members, huh? lol
3.    On my desk right now you will find nothing!!! So clean and organized!! :o) I always clean up my room and desk after scrapping;o)
4.    My favourite colours to work with at the moment are orange and blue!! 
5.    What kind of themes do you often scrap? It has always been my daughter:o) But, recently I love to scrap about myself too<3 I usually make layouts for art's sake and mini books for things I want to record. 
6.    Where do you scrap?  I scrap in my scrap room that is 100% Japanese style with tatami floor. 
7.    What is your scrapping process? I begin with my photos. I look for the collections and embellies that matches the photo the most. I start scrapping with no sketches, only imagination:o)
8.    My favourite food is CHOCOLATE<3<3<3
9.    My top 3 favourite tools are Scissors, The cinch and Trimmer!! Makes it so easy to make!!
10. I mostly get my inspiration from my daughter and beautiful products;o)
11. Some techniques I used.....I used a lot of maskings for my layout. The flowers on the background are from Prima mask. After making the flowers with distress ink, I traced them with brown ink pen. Other techniques.... Handmade banner and sewing:o)


Here are some close ups of the layout:o)




Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!

Next you are heading back to The Color Room!! 
Thanks so Much for participating
