If you can't stand the heat


and boy it was hot this particular year in Southern France. So hot, a larger than your average forest fire was started near to where we were staying. It's my only experience of a fire of this nature and I vividly recall how frighteningly fast the flames we saw at the top of a hill in front of us became flames at the bottom of the hill only a few metres away, in just a few minutes. We drove off sharpish in the opposing direction I can tell you.


So this is the LO for the Real World Colour part of Cathy's course. I'm kinda used to having a selection of colours presented to play with these days so I'm a bit more blase this time around. However, I still found it tough to work in five colours in a Lo given over to mostly photographs and text. There wasn't exactly a lot of available space in which to use the five. Hence the rather odd, out of place circular embellishments on the left hand side.


And as a little BTW, friends have indicated to me that they have had trouble trying to leave their kind comments. And I love hearing from anyone who is sweet enough to take the time to do so. So I have tinkered again with the blog and hope the problem is fixed. Many humble apologies to anyone who had problems :) I'm amazed anyone would take the time and I am extremely grateful to all my bloggy friends, readers and followers. Hugs to you all :)

Gosh, that looks scary! Great LO though and unusual colour choice that really works! Glad you're still enjoying DYL! So, about to click and see if this saves, this time! :0 x alexa

Scary stuff! I like the way you've incorporated all of the colours into the LO - don't think the circles look out of place at all x

I think I would have been heading away VERY fast!

I find these colour challenges you are doing fascinating, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try any myself!

Lets see if I'm going to be allowed to post ....
