Color Reveal Week 43

How is everyone this week? Is it starting to look like fall where you are? It is here! I LOVE fall and I've been so busy with portraits that its just been passing me by so last weekend I decided to put a halt on things and take some time out for my family, which is why I missed my color reveal last Monday, luckily Kendall was so kind to take it over for me! Even though I missed sharing my gold finds last week I thought I'd share them real quick this week before I revealed this week's new color!

I just happened to find gold hiding in my two favorite antiques, a stack of Jane Austen books published in the 50's and a fold out antique camera that my husband's grandparents gave to me for my birthday!

Thank you for letting me share my gold finds a week late! Now I bet you want to know what our new color is!? It just happens to be the vibrant shade of blue that goes by the name of turquoise!

I found my turquoise while watching my little nephew this morning, not only was he wearing an outfit I picked out for him but his binky just happened to be my color!

Although my little nephew sported my color I had originally intended to share a photo of my blue rotary phone I picked up at the flea market, the boys love playing with it and I just love the little pop of blue it gives my living room!

Color Reveal, Week 33 {Brooke}

Hey everyone! How are you all doing? Hope your week has started out great! Well, we are officially through half of the box of 64 count crayons and on our way to our goal! Today's color reveal will start us rolling down that hill to the end!

You might want to make sure you get the actual crayon out and color with it, when I did so I found that the color that was made with the crayon was a little brighter than the color swatch I got from a list of hex codes, here.  I'm not going to lie, I almost forgot today was Monday again and failed to capture the crayon and color swatch as normal, I think my hubby's new work schedule has mixed up all my days!

Don't forget, today I am opening up a catchup linky! Hopefully it gives a chance for those who missed a few weeks to catch back up and start linking up again or open the door for any newbies to join in on the color hunting fun! At the very least we hope to get a look back at some of your favorite past colors from the first half of the box of 64! I am linking up a post from my personal blog in the linky so you can see a few of my favorite past color finds too! I'll keep the linky open for two weeks!

Week 32 Color Reveal {Brooke}

I am sooooo sorry I am late revealing this week's color! I really have not excuse, just forgot yesterday was Monday. Well this week we are on week 32 which means we are halfway through the box of 64 crayons!!! I don't know about you, but I feel pretty proud of myself for sticking with this project to it's halfway mark! However, I almost didn't make it...I searched and searched for this week's color, CADET BLUE is not really blue at all but like a blueish, grayish, purplish shade...I'm still not certain I succeeded in matching this crazy shade of blue, but I came pretty close....

I thought the bulb in  the flash of my antique brownie was a pretty close match, but after taking the picture and after editing it seems to be a little more on the purple side, but in person it's not as vibrant and has more of the blue hue....I tried and I like the photos I took so I guess I'm content with my find! I hope you all find this color easier than I did!

I wanted to remind you all that we are changing the linkups a little....Sunday the linkup for CADET BLUE will open as usual and we will have a weekly favorite for FOREST GREEN . However, on Monday when I reveal week 33's color I will also open up week 33's linky. So this week you will have two link ups and both will remain open until Saturday the 20th. Then Sunday the 21st we will have a weekly favorite for week 32 and week 33 as well as a vote off for weeks 29-32. Then Monday the 22nd will be week 34's color reveal AND link up, this is how we will continue until the end of the box. I know that many of you already have your color and blog post a few days after I reveal the color so I thought this way you can link up as soon as you have the color!

Good luck color hunting!

Color Reveal Week 30 {Brooke}

Hey everyone!

This week color is RAW SIENNA, I decided to go with two pictures, one I felt matched what the crayon actually looked like (the wax part) and the second I thought portrayed the color it made on paper....Sorry to keep it short and sweet, the hubby is taking summer classes and needs to hog the laptop! Happy color hunting!

 

Color Reveal Week 29 {Brooke}

How is everyone doing?? Hope you all are still having fun hunting your colors! Today we are starting another month of colors and when we get to our last color this month we will officially be HALFWAY through the box!!  I also wanted to let you all know that after we pass the halfway mark we are going to change up things a little bit, starting week 33 we will reveal the week's color as normal on Monday's, however I am going to open the revealed color's linky the same day and leave Sunday's open for revealing winners and for announcements. However, for the next four weeks we will keep on doing it the same way, just giving a little heads up!

This week's color was HARD for me! I couldn't find it anywhere and in all my searching I forgot to take a crayon picture so there won't be one this week, but I made an alternative!

So since I couldn't find this week's color I gave up my search and decided to raid my sewing thread, I found what I was looking for, but I've done thread before...

But, wouldn't you know, just hours before I set down to do this post we were getting the boys ready for bed and my oldest was brushing his teeth....guess who's toothbrush matches this weeks color? Although the photo made it a little darker, in person it really is super close to this week's color....

Hope you have a better time finding this week's color: WISTERIA

Mac-N-Cheese Link Up, Week 28

We LOVED your SEA GREEN photos! I just wanted you all to know not to get discouraged by our lack of comments, for me blogger was giving me issues when I tried to comment on your blogs, but I did look at them and I love all the places you found SEA GREEN, it was probably one of my favorite colors because almost every single find was different, there wasn't three different types of flowers or several views of the sunset, but just fun unique color finds and great photos! Not only was SEA GREEN a fun color but you all are getting better and better in photo quality and creative eye each week, making it harder to pick a weekly favorite. If I was the only one voting, I would of had three favorites, but luckily there are six of us and one photo got the majority votes!

We loved this very unique find for SEA GREEN submitted by Artsybelle Images! I would definitely would of over looked the lights and their reflections and passed this over for SEA GREEN, good eye and lovely photo Bel!

Now are we hungry for some Macaroni and Cheese??? I now cheesy huh....there I go again ;)

Color Reveal, Week 28

Well,this week's color reveal is the last in this month's set of four...you know what that means?!?! Next week we will be on our next set of four colors and the last color in that set will put us at the halfway mark! With that half way mark there is going to be a few changes so stay tuned! But for now we are on week 28 with a color that sounds good enough to eat!

Here are my finds!

So what is this yummy color? Macaroni and Cheese of course!

Week 27 Color Reveal {Brooke}

All those fourth of July festivities made this run a little late, sorry! I knew what I wanted to capture for this weeks color last week when I posted RED, but I just didn't get around to getting my item for my color until yesterday afternoon, but I love it for my color find and it was pretty yummy! I didn't have my computer and editing software with me so I used picnik to add my watermark and give it a little color boost. Can't wait to see what you all find for this shade of green!

Red Link up and Monthly Winner!

How is everyone's fourth of July weekend going so far??? I hope you all are having a great time and getting much needed time with friends and family! This week you all voted on your favorite weekly winner from weeks 21-24 and the results are in! You all picked the lovely olive green image submitted by Carmen at Moments Captured!

Congrats Carmen! Carmen, contact me, Brooke, at martin4_photography@yahoo.com and I will get your mailing information to our sponsor! Thanks so much for your participation!

Well, last week we started another month of colors and today we have a weekly favorite from the goldenrod submissions to kick off weeks 25-28! The weekly favorite comes from Danelle at I Take Pictures, we LOVED your beautiful take on goldenrod!

This week you all were on the hunt for RED and I am pretty sure there was no problem finding this color as it seemed to be everywhere, even without the current holiday festivities RED seems to be a big part of our daily lives! I can't wait to see what you came up with and how you chose to portray it!

Week 26, Color Reveal {Brooke}

When my hubby pulled this crayon out of the box I was a little surprised at how fitting it was for our up coming holiday! So by chance and the product of random selection we have the color RED as our next color find! Even without the up coming holiday, RED is quite an easy color to find, but I found mine tonight as we played on the back porch while my hubby grilled us some yummy dinner on his new early birthday/late anniversary gift!

Oh and one last one....from a get together with some of my fellow photog friends (one of them being Kendall from Project 64)! You can see more over at my blog and facebook. You can even head over to Kendall's facebook and see her take on our just for fun session!

I hope you all have a great holiday weekend! I can't wait to see all the firework photos that pop up and of course your RED finds, patriotic or not!

Here Goes Another 4 Weeks, Color Reveal {Brooke}

Can you believe we are starting in on week 25 and we are starting another round of 4 weekly favorites!? It is crazy how fast we are flying through our crayon boxes, it is not much longer and we will find ourselves in the middle of our box, two little sleeves down and two more to go...but for now we are on week 25 and we are ready for another color! I have a feeling you all are going to have a great time with our next four colors, when my hubby pulled them out of the box they immediately screamed SUMMER and all together looked much like a handful of popsicles, yum! I bet you can't wait to see what is in store, but today you only get to see one, the rest will have to wait!

I was soooo excited to finally get a shade of yellow this week! I am in love with yellow and I found plenty of it in my search for the perfect picture!

On our way home from running errands we passed over the big bridge and boats were out, so I we took a short detour and I drove down to the water so the boys could watch them for a little bit...

Then there is my little garage sale find that is being purposed as decor in my kitchen...

Then of course my little bug-a-boo's doing what they do, picking flowers and playing with rocks and yes, I do dress them alike...

Then there is my favorite birthday gift that came in last week, the gift is not goldenrod, but some of the lettering on a card that was in one of the pockets is...and of course I had to have a reason to share my wonderful gift my hubby got for me!

But, one of my faves is a quick snapshot I captured of my little one (wearing shirt with just the right shade of yellow) playing with an antique camera given to me for my birthday by my husband's grandparents (it even once belonged to his great grandma, even more special)...

I hope your week is filled with goldenrod, mine sure was!

Week 22 Color Reveal {Brooke}

Well, I had lots in mind for this week's color...some watermelon and that can of salmon in down the grocery isle, you know the one with the "salmon" color label and gold rim, but as our plans would have it we were traveling and visiting with family I didn't quite have time to get my ideas in a photo...but I did find a few things that would work for this week's color...

First, a sign of sickness in the house...my poor hubby has developed a bad cough and with the help of his family he has finally decided to take our advice and go to the doctor tomorrow.

Last I thought one of my favorite flea market finds worked quite well for this week's color. I love these books, each classic Jane Austen title is covered with a different bright colorful cover, the one that matches this week's color is "Emma"

Well I hope you all have fun hunting this week's color, Salmon!

Week 20 Color Reveal {Brooke}

Hey guys, how are you all doing? I was so busy editing photos from my sessions this weekend that I almost forgot that it was Monday...well now it's officially Tuesday, but I have your color reveal!

Last week I had taken a ton of photos for this weeks color thinking that it was last weeks color. I had set them aside and planned to use them for this week, but while I was driving this weekend back and forth between the studio and home I couldn't help but notice the beautiful world we live in! Big fluffy clouds, bright blue skies, lush green grass! How could one not feel blessed or be in awe! So what else was I to do but pull over and capture it the best I could! It just so happens that watching the world transition from brown to green is one of my favorite things about late spring, so even though you get lots of blue and white in my photo, I just love the lush green grass which reminds me of this week's color, asparagus!

Have a blessed week! Also don't forget to come back on Sunday to link up your asparagus photos!!!
