Editor's note T he color of « scrapfeelings » ! Summer finally came with its colors and what would be our scrappesque life without color! It is color which transcribes our vision of the instant caught in a snapshot. It defines the pictures, illustrates the texts. With its differences and nuances, it permeates our feelings in our creations. And as color is one of the most striking elements in a photograph, it is one too for a scrapbook page. Thus it happens that we are drawn to a specific color for some time before taking an interest in another one...The colors we like reflect our present state of mind, how we feel. Taken from Life by Carole Maurin « Every year, living next to the beach, we take advantage of the sea from the first fine days, and it is always great fun for the kids who are rediscovering the joys of swimming and building sandcastles. This photo of my son Lucien was «taken from life» and expresses so well the joy he feels at finding the simple pleasures of summer again! » This very graphic page is built around a clever blend of papers, die-cuts, chipboards that converge in and around the photograph to show it off. The very bright colors remind us of beach games and provide a vibrant side to the whole. So do not hesitate to express yourself in color, to play the fashion designer dressing your layouts with sparkling colors. And do not forget the Latin proverb: «There is no accounting for taste». Thus, make your own rainbow of colors and become the artist of the feelings of your scrappesque life by helping yourself with your current issue of Histoires de Pages, radiant with items just as bright as each other, to capture your summer memories and above all prepare to welcome in the Fall in color. Supplies: patterned paper (BoBunny, We R Memory Keepers, Little Yellow Bicycle), alphabet stickers (American Crafts, Carolee's), chipboards (Crate Paper), die-cuts (Prima, ChicTags), border (Crate Paper), doilies (BoBunny), acrylic paint Emmanuelle Prot, Editor
