Brown Is...

Hi All! This challenge was to choose a Monochromatic Color and create a layout. I thought seriously about doing my favorite color(s) which are all shades of purple, but somehow, brown kept creeping into my mind!

When I looked around for things to photograph, a few words immediately came to mind: sweet, warm, comfortable and cozy!!! About the photos, most of them are things found in my home, while a couple of them went with the theme and I couldn't resist!!! I actually bought the candy just for the photo op and then I took them to work to share!

Brown makes me feel warm. Every time I think of the color brown, I think of hot chocolate, chocolate mocha, all kinds of chocolate candy, (I do not discriminate), my brown hat, my slippers and my snuggie!

First part of the layout:

Yes, that is me asleep in my snuggie with my dog, Jazzie!

Right side of layout:

Whole Layout together:

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my layout!

Very sweet Shannon! Who doesn't love Hershey kisses? There are a lot of photos and I had to keep looking at the layout because you added so much to your page. Your puppy sleeping on you is adorable.

Thank you for your kind words! Yes. Andrea, maybe I should have used Hershey in the title. After looking at it again, I can definitely see that!!!

Seems like the "Many Shades of Hershey" would have been a better title Shannon :) You are right, brown is indeed warm and cozy and we can see the yummy and sweet!! It looks like it is relaxing too.

Nice photos of the color brown. Who doesn't love chocolate? It is a food group of it's own - right! You're right brown is warm and cozy. Brown is great for clothes, home furnishings and jewelry too :)
