July Mood Board Challenge *WINNER*
I just love how you all took this challenge and made such amazing layouts!  The winner by random draw is VickiR!  PM me with your address so I can send you a little, scrappy prize. :)

For this month's mood board, I am going to challenge you to some "artsy-fartsy" scrapping, as my cousin would say. ;)  That's what she calls my work. LOL  I think I intimidate her.  A technique that I love in digi scrapping is to hand-color a photo.  It's way harder than I thought with my software.  Actually, it's easier with chalks, inks, or watercolors on a printed paper photo. ;) 

Anyway, I have found these 2 mood boards that are amazing, and I LOVE how they look.  So, for this month's challenge, I challenge you to use a black and white color scheme with pops of either red or blue. ;)  Include 3 other inspirations from one of the mood boards, besides the colors.  Yes, you can combine the mood boards for the 3 inspirations!  I know it will be hard to only have black and white with one color photos, so your photos may be in full color, but all other items should be monochromatic: black, white, grey, with the occasional pop of whichever color you choose. :)

Bonus entry in the challenge drawing if you use black and white photos!
2nd bonus entry if you hand-color something to be either a pop of blue or red (be sure to let me know if you do this, because you might be so good at it, I can't tell!)

Here are your 2 mood boards:

Open to paper and digi layouts, as well as cards and other altered projects.
You have until July 31st at midnight to upload your project in the gallery spot I've provided. 
Must be a new entry.
Can be combined with one other challenge that allows combining.

WOW!!  I love this challenge.  I think I'll try to color a b&w photo. I'll get DH to help with photoshop (he's pretty skilled at it) and show me how to do this!

I was just trying to add color to a B & W photo in PS.  Gave up, so I am going to try hand coloring and see how it goes.

Gorgeous mood boards! That brilliant blue is what I’m using in my living room for accent colors. I have bought canvases and paints to make art very similar to what you’ve shown on the mood boards!!! Just haven’t gotten it done yet!
Fantastic challenge!

I found it helps to print on a matte paper. Glossy is hard to add color to without bleeding or smearing. ;)

Thanks for the info.  I typically use glossy but do have matte paper too.

Re: July Mood Board Challenge
This was perfect for my pics.  The 3 inspiration were hard though! My inspiration came from the blue - I used a large helmet like the little boy wearing a large hat. The butterfly flies in the sky so I made a spaceship from star wars and the clock face is round so I used circles on the layout as the background and the round planets.
