Week 9, Color Reveal {Brooke}

I haven't had a chance to comment on any one's linkups, but I've been by to visit most of them and so far I am loving all your photos. You all are so creative and I enjoy seeing where you find the color of the week! I am also glad to have so many new participants coloring with us!

There has been some questions on how you join up with Project64, it's pretty simple, just watch for the weekly linkups (they start on Sundays and close on Saturdays) and link up your take on the week's color prompt, which is revealed on Mondays. If you feel you must go back and complete the past colors head on over to this post for details on linking up your color review.

So, it is Monday and that means it is time to pull another crayon out of our box and get to coloring! I personally like this week's color and was excited when my hubby pulled it out of the box; I immediately had ideas running through my head! Want to know this week's color????

White! It's not really a "color", more so void of color and typically an accent or neutral to a more dominate color. So this week should be fun, finding ways to make white the dominate color and the star of your photo is sure to be a challenge, but have fun with it!

This week I decided to go white on white, since it is one of my favorite things to do! So, naturally I thought it would be a good idea for the added challenge this week! Now, my photos are not completely white on white, the flower and angles I chose to use didn't leave much room for cropping out the green, but you get the idea.  For my white background, I just use white foam board that I found at my local craft store. I have a few post on my personal blog that give tutorials and pull backs on how I utilize foam board, here and here...you can easily use poster board as well. Also, you can see another example of white on white that I took before Project64 started over on my blog.

This last photo is a little closer to a true white on white, hope you guys have fun hunting for white!

Happy Coloring!

Let's Catch Up!

Today is the day of our catch up day! I'd like to thank all of you who have been linking up from day one, your support and participation in our project has sparked lots of new interest and one of the reasons we are having this catch up day! I would also like to welcome all the newbies, we are so glad you have found us and have decided to join our colorful journey!

Today is a day for those of you who have been on this journey from day one to remind us of all your colorful entries and give us a review of the past two months, possibly share your thoughts about your journey through the box so far. Today is also for all you newbies who have either been following and have never linked up but now want to or those who found us a few colors in and felt like you couldn't just jump in without starting at the beginning. If you just found us today, you are welcome to join us now, tomorrow or next month, you do not have to start at the beginning, but if feel like you must, I plan to leave this catch up day link up open for a few weeks, so feel free to link up your review of past colors! If you are new, don't forget to check out all the pages and learn more about Project64 and it's creators and contributors. Also, if you have yet to add your name to the participant list be sure that you do!

No matter when you found us or started this journey, today you have the chance to show us all your color inspired photos, starting at the beginning with yellow green from week one. If you need a reminder of all the colors past, just head on over to our colors by week  page.

This linkup is for a review of your past colors, so keep linking up the current week's color over at the lavender linkup and enter your INDIVIDUAL lavender inspired photo.

Before moving onto the linkup, I'd like to showcase a few colorful entries from our past linkups!

For today's linkup you may link up the DIRECT link to a Flickr set, single blog post or separate blog page containing ALL the past color prompts. Please do not link up a keyword search for your Project64 past post, this must be a NEW post containing ALL your colorful photos in  a SINGLE post/page.

Lavender Linkup {week 8}

I hope you all are enjoying our project! For me it has been a very  nice break from the 365 project I attempted last year. Only having one photo a week has given me more time to think about my shot I want for the week and take the time to set it up and above all has been less stressful! Adding a color twist to my weekly photos has been very fun, I love searching for the color and finding ways to creatively photograph it gives an added challenge.

We are two months in, can you believe it? Your photos each week truly do get better, I know each week I tell you it is hard to pick a favorite, but it truly is! Indigo was a tricky color with purple tones hiding in its strong blue color, but it was a fun color, a bold color and you all captured it beautifully. We all had at least four favorites in our list when we ladies voted this week, but there was one entry that was common in most of our list....

We loved Karen's bowl of blueberries! There is indigo all over this picture, dark shades in the blueberries, rich tones on the bowl and all nicely contrasted against the white. Congrats Karen! Don't forget to grab a weekly winner button! Everyone, head on over to Karen's blog and give her some love!

A few notes before we move onto the Lavender link up...Did you know I set up a Facebook page for Project64? I did! Feel free to use the Project 64 Facebook page to share your photos, ask questions, have discussions or just use it as a way of keeping tabs on the latest blog post. Whatever way you choose to use it is up to you, it is there for you and to aid in making Project 64 a creative community.

Also, don't forget we are having a catch up day tomorrow! You will be able to link up a flickr set, a separate blog page or single blog post that contains all your photos from week 1 up to week 8.  Be sure to link up the url that will take us DIRECTLY to your review of colors. Catch up day is not just for those who joined Project 64 late, but for everyone to share a review of their past colors and maybe talk about their journey through the box so far. This linkup is different from the one today...today's link up is for Lavender ONLY. Tomorrow's link up is for sharing you colorful finds starting at the beginning. I hope you all link up your review of colors past, it will be fun so see  them all together in on place! I am equally excited to see all the colorful entries from the newbies and to have them join our journey!

So did you have fun with Lavender? The lavender in our box of crayons is not the lavender many of us think about when the color is mentioned. It has more of a pink tone with purple hints, instead of the pale purple color that comes to mind. Did you try the added challenge and fill the frame with color? I can't wait to see what you came up with!

As always no fancy camera required and Flickr link-ups welcome!When you link up please use the DIRECT LINK/POST containing your photo, if posting multiple pictures designate the one you are submitting and be sure to link back to us!
