Color Palette: Crimson Red, Dark Green and Charcoal

Dramatic and one of the greatest actresses of all time, Bette Davis has always been so intriguing to me. At the post office yesterday, I happened to pick up the latest Bette Davis stamp and was completely in awe. The color, the composition, well mostly the color and how she was portrayed. Perfect. I thought, 'What a great color palette this would make!'. So that's what I've done: Made a color palette inspired by the Bette Davis stamp, and by Bette Davis herself. I tried to only use things that I thought went well with Bette as a person, and even managed to find a cake in the right colors with a "B" on it.

Color Palette: Hollywood Glamour with scarlet, white and black

I absolutely LOVE old Hollywood. Give me an old movie with a warm blanket and I'm in heaven. I have to say I actually prefer old movies over the new ones. There is just something classic and timeless about Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant (or any old movie star for that matter!). When I decided to put a Hollywood Glamour board together, you can imagine how excited I was. What added to my excitement, was that I was able to include one of my friends in the board! My good friend Angela is on the bottom row, second from the left. The picture is of her as a bridesmaid at her brother's wedding. Doesn't she look just like an old Hollywood star getting ready to go out to a big event? I love it.


To make things even more exciting, the Los Angeles theatre that's pictured in the board is actually available to rent for events! What a perfect place for a reception with an old Hollywood theme. The inside of the theatre is completely restored and is gorgeous. Take a look at their website for more pictures of this wonderful theatre.
