Purple & Green

This has been a week of unpacking, laundry and open house, but I saw that Inspiration Avenue was using a purple and green prompt this week. Knowing that I love both those colors I thought I would share a couple of purple and green photographs of flowers and one of my journal pages I did but originally wasn't going to share.You know a  journal page that is just so, so and just for you, but it fit the bill for this post so I decided to include it.

The one thing I love about the Mr. is he always comes to give me a kiss in the morning prior to leaving for work. 


White Sage is so beautiful when it blooms in the spring


I don't know who loves Rabbits Ear Lavender  more the bees or me? 


Lisianthus is what we used for a pop of color for the wedding flowers, the buds open to the beautiful flowers. 


Purple Kate Spade Shoes my daughter wore under her wedding dress I altered my photograph and gave it a green border


I had to sneak in a photograph from the wedding photographer Kelly Boitano just in case you want to see more purple and green & wedding photographs in a journalist style!

Then don't forget to pop by Inspiration Avenue there is still time for you to join in the fun prior to Sunday's deadline for this week or visit their blog to catch the list of participants to see what everyone else created for the prompt. Hope you drop by Sunday for some more journal art. I promise to share some painting as I get back in my little art space and creating again now that things are settling down from all the festivities of the wedding.  

 "But, luckily, he kept his wits and his Purple crayon." --from Harold and the Purple Crayon (1955)
 
"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." --Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Spanish Poet and Playwright, 1600-1681

What is your favorite shade of purple or green? What color shoes did you or would you wear under your wedding dress?

  7. The shoes are gorgeous! However, I love the images of the sage and lavender - and before reading this post I had no clue that this kind of lavender is called Rabbit Ear Lavender. What a great name!
