Kinect Sports - UIT Warm it Up with Red, Yellow, and Orange

Time for another fun challenge over at UIT!  For most of us, it is VERY cold out side, and I bet some of you are ready for winter to be over.  So, we are challenging you to warm up your projects using red, yellow, and/or orange.  Make sure you use some hoarded supplies, mention them as well as the challenge in your post, and then link up to the Use It Tuesday blog!

I went through my files of pictures to scrap, and starred the ones with red, orange, and yellow in them.  Then I through about the challenge, and decided to go with this photo of my kids.  I picked it because it is a winter photo (taken last year) and my son is in the red and yellow.  The picture is of my older two kids playing Kinect Sports skiing - a regular activity for them in the evenings after dinner during the winter.  

The layout is inspired by last week's Design Team Doodles over at Kiwi Lane Designs (the left side).  I used a mixture of MME Alphabet Soup, MME Six by Six, and Creative Memories papers on this.  The Creative Memories papers I have had for two years, and I had actually "given" them to my daughter for her crafting fun.  But, I thought they worked well with the MME papers, so I put them to work :)

I love this little die cut from the Alphabet Soup collection - it made the prefect accent in this corner.  The blue behind it was cut using the KLD Tiny Tags.

 I knew I needed to balance the page a little, so I went with some little banners on the left side.  This is where I pulled out my MME Six by Six scraps.  They have the same reds, yellows, and oranges in them, so I thought they worked well with the other papers.  And I finished them off with a stack fo buttons and a twine bow.

Now it is your turn!  Make something using paper and the colors red, orange, and yellow!  Use something things that have been sitting in your stash for a while, and link up!  We can't wait to see what you make!
