I have to thank Scrap Around the World for the June Challenge. I know that the Mood Board is an inspiration piece and using the same colors isn't necessary. When I saw this Mood Board, I thought, Yuck, yellow. Here is the mood board.

| sorry for the bad photography! |
As I am writing this, I have shared this LO on Facebook with my friends. One has commented: stunning!! (and I don't know why you hate yellow, it's so fun ). I just am not a fan of yellow. It's too happy. Too exuberant. It's like a puppy that won't leave you alone and keeps jumping on you.
It's too IN YOUR FACE for me!
I even wrote yellow a note on this LO. It really should have been an art journal page, but I had created the back ground with gesso and Dylusions spray, and liked it. The note reads:
Dear Yellow,
You were always there for me when I colored the sun, or Tweety Bird.
Beyond that, you stayed in the box.
I have to tell you that you are not my favorite color. Many great things are yellow.
Flowers, the Sun, high end sports cars, even a cold play song.
But you're just not for me.
I hope we will be able to work together in the future when needed.
I finished this LO/ journal page/ self confession about yellow and guess what. I like it! I think it turned out pretty good for having yellow in it. Who knows, maybe I will be using yellow again.
Thanks again, Scrap Around the World, for helping me face my fear of yellow!

So you quoted me LOL
I say it again, it's stunning and I love the dramatic feeling with yellow and black and hints of white.
I am not going to ask you to like yellow, just give it a chance :)
hugs

I love it. Yellow wasn't my favourire colour. definitely not. But this summer I started loving it. Your project is just wonderful. Thank you for playing along with SATW this month!
Wonderful composition! Beautiful project!!! Thank you for playing along with us at SATW this month.
Being honest I must admitt that when I first saw Di Garling's moodboard I was scared that I wouldn't make it; I like yellow but only as an addiction to other colours; but, just like You, I fight myself and created almost monochromatic yellow page and it's one of my favourite; and Your page is stunning; You won battle with yellow :D; thanks for playing at SATW
I love this! You dislike yellow and do a fantastic page with it! I wish I had your talent!! All the best from SATW! :)
Awesome job with the inspiration picture. ove your card and I think happy when I see yellow too but in a different way. lol.great note btw.
You have expressed my feelings towards yellow perfectly, and on a beautiful (and yellow!) layout. Thank you.
This cracks me up. I love your open letter to Yellow. I used to not have much use for yellow either but I've learned to embrace it more as I get older and more easy going (quit laughing).
