"Old Love" freebie kit

Yup, Freebie time again!
For the july colorchallenge by Kim B, at DSO!
Have you seen? DSO has a whole new site online!
You should go check it out, it's really awesome!
But poor Bunny has been working SO hard! If you haven't heard already, I'll tell you: Her WHOLE SITE went POOF! Can you imagine!?! Arggggh!
And I felt sorry for myself that I lost the working file to my kit last month....


Now in this new kit I've used some CU stuff that was made -for free!- AT MY REQUEST! I feel so honored!
It's Satin Ribbon and Bow by Jeanie, aka Scrapdoctor. She asked if anyone had any request, and althoug I was on her blog for the first time, downloading some lovely CU freebies, I asked for some plain ribbons with seperate bow. And she made them! Looks good huh?

Now I have a request for you. As Jeanie had some major surgery and she's now recovering. Would you go over to her blog, and wish her a good recovery?
While you're there, you should check out her daughter's blog! She's 8, very talented, and makes freebies for you!



And here's the colorswatch Kim has made for july.





Everybody at DSO was telling her how much they love the colors.
Eh.. Uhm.. Now to tell you, honestly, I did not like it. Loved the red, but... ;)
(sorry Kim, please don't stop reading!)

BUT!
Again, she's proven to be a great teacher, because I've learned! YAY!
As the kit SHE made with it, I LOVED.
Huh? So I needed to take a good look why.
First the problem: I don't really like those grey-brown-muddy colors. ;) Yeah, most of the swatch that is. lol.
Then, a close look at her kit: She used lots of the lightest color, and a lot of the red. The rest looked to me more like accents.
And the darkest and lightest colors aren't so muddy if not combined with too much of the other two.
So, I needed to see it not as equal parts, but some a lot, and some a little less, and some an itty bitty.
Presto! Now it gets really beautiful!
Well, I think so... ;)

THEN I had to think about a theme or a style to make. I figured something 'oldfashioned' or 'vintage' would suite those colors best for me. But that's a problem too, as I have not USED vintage, let alone MADE it. LOL
Oh well, I tried, I even like it, and I hope you like it too.

Thank you Kim, I've learned SO much!!
