Happy July!!!! Wow! Can you believe we are into the 2nd half of 2019???? Crazy where time disappears to.

In the US, we celebrate July 4th as our independence day with the colors of our flag - Red, White, & Blue. Not everyone is from the US and not everyone's flag has those colors....so, today, we are going to scrap with the colors - RED, WHITE, & BLUE - but not for a patriotic page.

RED, WHITE, & BLUE come in a variety of shades.

For your page, you may ONLY use RED, WHITE, & BLUE, but you may use ANY shade you'd like (The photo can contain any colors of the rainbow). You must have at least 1 item of each color.

*****Your LO may NOT be a patriotic page*****

Below are only a few examples of the varying shades of each color. Click on the Wikipedia link for more options and exact color coordinates.

Please post your completed layout in The Lilypad gallery. GALLERY RULES: Layouts must contain at least 50% TLP products. (Templates count as 15%.) Uploads must be less than 250k. List all credits; no off-site linking allowed.

****INSTRUCTIONS****

1. Start your LO with a plain or patterned paper in RED or BLUE. This will serve as a 1/2 inch border (RED AND BLUE is also acceptable)

2. Create a square/rectangle that is 1/2 in smaller on each side (so, if your LO is 12x12, then your square would be 11x11, centered. OR, if you do a rectangle LO, for example, and 8x10, your white rectangle would be 7x9, centered)

The square is any shade of white...can be plain or a paper...it must be WHITE

3. Add 1-4 photos (the photos are NOT limited to just RED, WHITE & BLUE)

4. Add 2-4 clusters of elements - (a cluster is 3 or more items)

YOUR PAGE MUST CONTAIN ONLY RED, WHITE & BLUE (except the photo) and you MUST HAVE ALL THREE COLORS ON YOU PAGE

****Clarification****
Neutral colors (Black, gray, etc... are also OK)

5- Add a title and the date. You may also add some journaling, but it is optional.

6- The last thing is to make the page your own...do anything you'd like to make it your style. =)

I can't wait to see everyone's take.

You have 24 hours to finish your pages. Layouts are due TOMORROW, July 2nd at 1pm Eastern time. Please load you pages to THIS gallery and post them below. Have fun!!!

I went for a full on red, white, and blue Americana page. (Note: my title is in the lower right hand corner: Free to Sparkle.)
 
This Was A Very Interesting Speed Scrap...Only Using 3 Colors...Novel Idea...I Struggled At First To Come Up With A Design For My Page & Elements In Those Colors...But Alas!...Everything Came Together In The End...There Was Some Slight Recoloring & Lots Of Repositioning Of Elements...But Ultimately In The End...I Was Very Happy With The Result...I Know Adding The Date Was Part Of The Challenge Rules...But I Really Prefer The Layout Without The Month/Date...But Rules Are Rules & I Did Comply To All Of Them...Thank You! For The Slow Scrap...
