The colors for this week are Lavender, Plum, and Grey. None of which are colors I use except Plum for warm highlights once in awhile. I don't have any supplies, paints, fabrics, or trims in these colors. What's more, I have no money to go out and buy supplies.
Enter: getting ready for a garage sale. My husband went to Wyoming at the end of last summer to empty a storage locker that we had left behind when we moved back to the Pacific Northwest. I would say a good 60% of my art supplies were left behind and I haven't seen them for about 4-5 years. We've been slowly going through the boxes getting ready for a neighborhood garage sale in July. As I went through still MORE mixed media supplies I found a few papers and paints that I could possibly use to squeak by for this week's colors.
It doesn't match the colors perfectly, but it'll have to do for this week!

I'm so happy you found a stash in the boxes. Sometimes it's a blessing not to have unpacked everything... hehe .. trust me I know.
Love the page you did.
Well I think you 'squeaked by' beautifully Debi :D
I love this pretty creation, Debi! I didn't have much in the way of these colors either. Eager to see what Kristin has for us next week.
How fun that you sound a stash!!! And I absolutely love what you created using this week's SOC colors. It's so beautiful and creative!!!
I think you've done wonderfully with your stash. It's always so much fun to dig through boxes and find new supplies! Good luck with the garage sale!
this is really nice and I think you nailed the colors!
The colours look fine to me and your finished design is really lovely with its interesting shapes and patterns.

(And what a find! Meant to be ;)
You did a fantastic job of this weeks colours and I think everyone should look around the house before going off to buy more 'stuff'. Sometimes what we need is infront of us we just don't see it.
I think this is beautiful and works well for this weeks colours :-)
