Collecting Color // Yellow & Pink

I had fun going around my house seeking out yellow and pink items to photograph. Surprisingly I don't have a lot of yellow stuff sitting around. The last photo with the Carebears has to be my favorite. They are just so darn cute! I think next month I am going to attempt to challenge myself to only take photos while out and about. The color scheme for next month is yellow and navy.

Collecting Color // Green & Pink

The color scheme this month was green and pink. Once I started looking at flowers to purchase for my yard, I knew I wanted to just stick with a plant theme for my photos this month. It also happens to be my favorite thing to photograph. I love when everything starts getting green outside and the flowers are blooming. It means that the warm weather has finally arrived and plans to start around for the season. Next month the colors for the challenge are pink and yellow.

Collecting Color // Black & Green

I have an obsession with road signs.

My Glasses // Pine Needles

Green & Black Converse // Cat Paw

Leaf Detail // My Camera

Green Packaging // Chloe's Nose & Whiskers

This months color scheme for the Collecting Colour Challenge was Black and Green. I actually had a hard time finding things that were black to photograph. I simply do not have a lot of things in my home that are black. I should of looked harder when I was out and about. I am really loving these photo challenges. They are really fun! Next months color scheme is Green and Pink. If Spring ever arrives here in Wyoming I would love to photography some flowers for next months challenge.

Collecting Colour // Black & White

This month the color scheme was black and white. Some of the images I took were things that were black and white around my house. Other images I made black and white for fun. I think my favorite photo is of my black and white cat clock. He will be hung up in my office eventually. I miss taking black and white images. When I was younger I used to buy black and white film! Yes, when film was what everyone used in their cameras. LOL Feels like ages ago. If you have a question about an image please just ask me below. :)

Collecting Colour // Blue & White

When I read that the colors for the February COLLECTING COLOURS series were blue and white, the first thing I thought of was my Smurf collection. What is the Collecting Colours series you may ask? It's hosted over on GOOD THINGS and here is an explanation from her blog:

What is the Collecting Colours challenge? Each month you use the colour pairings as a jumping off point to curate a collection, real or virtual. You might collect objects from your environment (like I did last year), you might 'collect' photographs (like I'm doing this year), or you might even create a collection of watercolours, prints, granny squares... It's really up to you - the key thing is that whatever you create needs to feature just the colour pair nominated for each month.

For my photos I have decided I am just going to photograph what ever seems "right" to me for that color combo. Since I am currently going through my toy collection I found it fitting to photograph some of my favorite Smurfs.


Yes I have baby Smurf shoes. Part of the reason why my toy collection is so large is because my first job was working at a antique mall. I worked in antique malls for a totally of seven years. I would have many of the antique dealers pick up stuff like the smurf shoes above and they would give them to me as gifts. My Smurf collection is the biggest part of my toy collection. It was the first vintage toy I started collecting. It all started when I purchased one single figurine for $4. The rest is history. I now have houses, stuffed animals, etc...


Childhood me in my Smurf swimming pool. The year was probably 1984.

Currently I need to find a bookcase for my Smurf collection. My Vinylmation collection took over two of my BILLY bookcases. (It may be time to stop collecting things. Hummmm.) I hope you enjoyed these photos. I hope that you may consider doing the Collecting Colour challenge. I missed January's color combo. Next months color combo is white and black. Oh that should be fun!!!
