Orange is difficult for me...Clemson University (orange and purple) is arch rivals with my University of South Carolina Gamecocks. I have been working on some fall layouts so I will check out the colors. To use your exact colors, I may need to change my layouts...but I can do that.

 

Thank you, Carole, for the challenge...this one and all the ones you give us each month.

 

 

I have a lot going on right now and my mojo is dead. I finally finished a layout tonight. I have begun many but have been able to complete only one.

 

In 2014 I visited South Carolina, my home. While there some of my pickleball friends came to play in a tournament and I took them to dinner at my favorite place, Maurice's Piggie Park Bar-b-que. The sauce is mustard based and marketed as Carolina Gold. My friends enjoyed their dinner and headed up the road back to Virginia.

 

I used a template by Connie Prince at Gingerscraps.

Ann, your cats are beautiful! I also have a tuxie...and a tabbyco...tabby and calico mix. They certainly brighten my days...and nights.

C = candle light

The gallery template is tons of fun! Ann and Lynda, you did a great job with it. I may have to revisit and make another.

 

Ann, the mudfest looks like tons of fun too. Don't think I would try it...I'd get stuck but it would be fun to watch.

 

The work share here is amazing. Keep it up, Everyone!

A =  aurora borealis or the northern lights

I'm registered. Looking forward to some PSP time...haven't had much lately...

W = white light

Wow! As usual, incredible creations! Great work, Everyone.

 

Ann, you don't use the drive-in for the mud fest, do you? I think it is cool you own a drive-in! Many good childhood memories going to a drive-in movie.

Hi, Kim...welcome! You will enjoy your time here and may find your way to posting. Have a great day!

T = table lamp

M = moonlight

H = halogen light bulb

C = CHANDELIERS

This could qualify for three areas...what are you working on in September (all projects fit here) and speech bubble challenge and tree theme.

Carole's book is a great resource for any one/any level. I have it on my desk and use it often.

Sandra, I have a cousin in McDonough. Stayed with her for the Olympics in Atlanta.

P = poplar

Rotated the sketch.

 

The scanned photos are not the best...now I want to scan more and at better quality.

Sketch challenge in the Campus. Crossroads Tabletop Tavern offers all sorts of games to be played while you are eating. Lots of children's games too. A Sunday midday was the perfect time to bring the kids. Elements from Family Game Night at Pixel Scrapper.

I posted this in What Are You Working On...should have put it here...

 

Another...trees...you may have seen these trees on other pages. The background is a cut log.

As usual, beautiful creations, Everyone. You never disappoint.

Lots going on...but I managed some pages...even with all the distractions...however, they did not receive my full time and attention. This is an AnnieCDigitals template. The background is from Myrtle Beach. All the other photos were taken in the Charleston area. Top 2 on left is from the only tea garden in America, Charleston Tea Plantation. Bottom left is the Angel Oak. Top right is a park under the Ravenel Bridge. Bottom right, Shem Creek. I was in Myrtle Beach for a pickleball tournament and continued on to visit a friend on Daniel Island.

Karon, thank you for your words of praise. They mean the world to me. I do enjoy working with templates but always go off on my own. Thanks again!

H = hemlock
