Finally!

Holy cow! It's "only" been almost a month, but the papers are finished at last. Don't even ask me about the elements though....I have tons of ideas of course - its just finding the time to execute them that is the problem. As if taking an entire month to create 12 papers isn't already an indication that life is frantic. :o)

However I am extremely excited - and mostly pleased - by the way this first designing adventure has turned out. The first two were easy-peasy....but when I got down to number 5...6...and all the way to 12...let's just say it took a bit of thought and inspirational internet browsing.

My first obstacle was deciding on a color scheme. I knew (from the first two) that I would have gray, green and yellow. Then I decided after a couple more design attempts that I was going to need another color. Something that stood out, something to create a focal point with. I also knew that I wanted it to be a shade of red - I just wasn't sure which shade. So......Kuler to the rescue! I absolutely LOVE Kuler. If you aren't sure what I am talking about, travel over to this site: http://kuler.adobe.com/

With a little slider action here and a little slider action there...I settled on this theme:





See how the red just sorta pops against all those other tones? Love it!

And.....(drum roll please)....this is the final Taste Of The Orient paper pack!

So there you have it folks. Some of them have a subtle pattern to them that does not show up very well at this size and resolution. In fact, none of them are completely solid except for the yellow one in the top row (middle).

I will be loading them up to DigiScrapDepot, but last time I tried that it took FOREVER and then they never did approve it for some reason. So.......in case you would like to download this paper pack you can do so here:
