I'm not a big fan of yellow, but...

...that's what the play date cafe colour challenge is for - to challenge you to use colours you may not normally use! When I saw this photo by Maria Medeiros I just knew I wanted to challenge myself (and you guys!) with the colour yellow!


Yellow really isn't my colour, although it is definitely creeping into my box of supplies! A couple of years ago I wouldn't have been able to produce this journal page as I just never bought any products in yellow. But I've learnt what a great accent colour it can be, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed playing with it on it's own in my journal :)



Spring is certainly in the air here in the UK, and snowdrops and crocuses are adorning the gardens.  The only yellow flowers that make it into my garden are daffodils, well, narcissi really as I love the creamy white ones with the yellowish trumpets.  I also love the noise daffodils make - if you've never heard it, buy a bunch and once the flowers are open, shake them and listen to the sound as the stems and petals brush against each other :)


So do you have a colour you avoid?  I'd love to know what it is.  It intrigues me that we all have our own internal colour palette of colours we like and use.
