Hello!  It&#8217;s been a few months since we had a blog challenge.  I got burnt out and bored of the Flashback Challenges, and since I&#8217;m in charge around here, I decided to shake things up.  <\/p>\n<p>Each month I&#8217;ll do whatever type of challenge I feel like! HAHAH!!!! So we&#8217;ll get a good mix going of fun ways to inspire and improve in our scrapping.  So this is the challenge for February . . . <\/p>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"40%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"30%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"20%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"10%\" \/>\nI found this ADORABLE image on Pinterest. But like many frustrating pins, it didn&#8217;t lead anywhere. After some more digging, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/megmeyerblog.squarespace.com\/blog\/2012\/4\/23\/josh-lisa-disneyland-engagement.html\">a great article<\/a> by Las Vegas photographer <a href=\"http:\/\/megmeyerphotos.com\/\">Meg Meyer<\/a> explaining more about this magical photo shoot (not to mention more photos!). Turns out the photographer is a fellow Disney nut and the adorable couple, Josh &amp; Lisa are too (obviously)! <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/colorswatchengagementphotos_zps358f9c98.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/megmeyerblog.squarespace.com\/blog\/2012\/4\/23\/josh-lisa-disneyland-engagement.html\">[source]<\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThe engagment photos were part of day-long shoot and was a renactment of their real engagment, which took place previously in the exact same spot during a showing of World of Color. So, even though it was just a reanctment, I still think these images are so magical!  I even got to swap a few emails back and forth with Meg and found out that these incredible photos were noticed by the official Disney Weddings Blog and were <a href=\"http:\/\/disneyweddingsblog.com\/disneyland-resort\/real-engagement-spotlight-lisa-josh\/\">featured there<\/a> as well!  Sigh . . . what I wouldn&#8217;t give for a professional photo shoot in the Happiest Place on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>So, I decided I would use these cute photos to create a color scheme for a <b>Color Swatch Challenge!<\/b><\/p>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"40%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"30%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"20%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"10%\" \/>\n<center><b>THE CHALLENGE:<\/b><\/center><br \/>\n1) Use the color swatch below to inspire a layout using Britt-ish Designs products. I repeat &#8211; use the color swatch to INSPIRE your layout.  It doesn&#8217;t have to be these EXACT colors.  Just get close! <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/feb2013colorswatch_zps14cbe22c.jpg\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n2) Post your layout in the Britt-ish Designs Challenge Gallery. <\/p>\n<p>3) Come back to this post and leave a comment with a link to your layout.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: large;\">One randomly drawn layout will win a $15 GC to my shop!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Entries are due by midnight (MST) Thursday, February 28, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some products in my shop that might help you on this Color Swatch challenge. (These are just suggestions &#8211; obviously you can use any Britt-ish Designs products you want!!) And don&#8217;t be TOO strict with the color swatch. It&#8217;s just a point of inspiration for your layout.<\/p>\n<p><center><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=5&amp;products_id=357\">&#8220;A Time To Remember&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_atimetoremember_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=5&amp;products_id=376\">&#8220;Carousel&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_carouselkit_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=292\">&#8220;Carousel Alpha&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_carousel_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_bwjspring_600.jpg\">&#8220;Bursting With Joy: Spring&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_bwjspring_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_springgoodies_600.jpg\">&#8220;Spring Goodies&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_springgoodies_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_springsamp_600.jpg\">&#8220;Spring Sampler&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_springsamp_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=5&amp;products_id=264\">&#8220;Let Down Your Hair&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_downhair_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=265\">&#8220;Let Down Your Hair: Bonus Alpha&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_downhair_BA_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_ezane_ittybitty_600.jpg\">&#8220;Itty Bitty&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brittishdesigns.com\/shop\/images\/brittdes_ezane_ittybitty_600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/center><\/p>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"40%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"30%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"20%\" \/>\n<hr align=\"CENTER\" width=\"10%\" \/>\nHere is the page I scrapped!
