Friday Challenge!!!


(inside: Did I miss anything?)

The challenge: Create a layout inspired by the above greeting card. When you are finished post it to an online photo or scrapbook gallery and then link it to this post. If you don't want to post it online you can email me at lalakme at yahoo dot com. So get inspired and go scrap!

My take on this week's challenge:

Hilary's take on the same greeting card: Hilary decided to use the card to inspire her blog header for the month instead of making a layout.


Can't wait to see what you do!

Circa 1992: Layout inspired by greeting card

The inspiration:

How I was inspired:

Design: Mostly just liked the circle there. I was going to place my title the same way the greeting card has it placed, but it just didn't end up working that way. Love that about inspiration...it doesn't have to be exact. Just do what inspires you, and sometimes your finished product doesn't look a whole lot like your inspiration, but the point is, you got it done.

The End Result:


How does it inspire you?

Pout: Layout inspired by greeting card

The inspiration:

How I was inspired:


Design: I took the design pretty literally as far as where I placed things. I loved the "pinking shear" look, but couldn't find my pinking shears anywhere, so I just kind of made it up as I went along and inked it to give it more definition.

Typography: I didn't use a font, but I copied the font used on the card with my own handwriting. Since the topic was somewhat childish, it worked well.

The End Result:

How does it inspire you?
