My
friend and mentor, Glenda Cates with The Mommies Review created
the Color of the Day Challenge for June. It was birthed by an
activity she did with her son, Charlie who homeschools.
What
a neat idea it is turning a school assignment into a challenge. Hats off to both
for doing so and inviting me to participate in the challenge. It has been fun
looking for things in the daily color schemes around my house or even in town
when I get out and about. PURPLE is the color of the day.
For Mother's Day this year,
I made a Folio Journal honoring the memory of my mom who died on 2/28/2020. Her
favorite color was...PURPLE. I made the Folio in different shades of purple.
The paper line I used was Prima Marketing
Ink., and it was called, Lavender.
Inside of the beautifully crafted Folio,
I placed many different photographs of my mom during her life. This will be
cherished by my family for generations to come. (these pictures were taken upon
completion of the Folio - photos were not incorporated yet).
In order to preserve some of the photos
I used inside of the Folio, I placed them in photo sleeves then adhered them to the
different pages. I made the sleeves where they could be moved back and forth
when there was writing on the back of the photos.
I enjoy crafting and using many
different colors in my projects. I have not made many things in purple though.
This Folio turned out beautiful. I am looking forward to making the next one as
it will be done in Peach and Mint Green. I will post pictures when it is
completed.
A few years back, I made paper strip
trees like this one shown here. I made these for several of my friends in their
favorite colors. This one shown has many different shades of pink (if you look closely,
you will see a few purple strips in this tree though). I made one in purple,
green, yellow, and one in black and white.
Purple is the color of the day. What do you see that is purple? Snap those pictures and leave me a comment. I look forward to hearing from you!

What a beautiful folio journal! I love how you closed it with a lace ribbon, so delicate.
