Thanks for a different and interesting challenge/speedbump. It got me to look at the Blog again. (Maybe that was the idea?
) I commented here: https://scrapgirls.com/take-3/take-3-hazy-summer#comment-25307
I filled everything out and hit "submit" but I don't see my comment. Did I do something wrong?I think the comments need to be approved to keep the spammers at bay.

... Playing catch-up. I ran a couple of errands today and took photos, then took a couple more around the house. I made a swatch using the tutorial. Thanks for reminding us about that! My colors are mostly neutral with some brights. It's going to be "fun" trying to find a collection with these colors.
That is why I mix collections so much in my everyday scrapping. You could just change the colors of a favorite collection to work as well.

I tried using the action but couldn’t get it to work even though I have used it before. Must be brain fade due to the ridiculous heat here. 🥵 Queensland is having some weird weather - tropical cyclones & monsoons up north & heat waves all over the state. ☔️💨⚡️🌊
I haven't tried using the action recently, but it could be software changes that are causing problems. You don't have to use the action.

TASK 15 - Choose a color scheme for your layout.
Try creating a color scheme from the photos you took in TASK 14. How to Create Color Swatches from Photos. Another option is to find a collection that works well with your photo(s) and choose the colors for your swatch from it.Share your color swatch here if you’d like.

I finished listening to it yesterday, or maybe the day before. Kind of losing track of the days with everything being closed down for almost a week.

We didn't have power for most of the afternoon. It is still windy out, so I thought I'd post tomorrow's task now. Happy that it was our first outage this week, unlike some of our neighbors.

TASK 14 - Documenting the everyday moments is just as important as the big events. Pick up your camera or phone and take a photo(s) of some everyday things to use for your next layout.-
