Weekly inspiration

I realize I've been somewhat MIA lately. I am working on being better...and getting a couple inquiries and people using the inspiration on this site was just enough to light a fire under me and get this going again!

Inspiration for this week (I chose nice fallish colors so the color schemes should work with the pictures you're taking right now!):

Artist: Layout inspired by Art (how apropo!)

The inspiration:


How I was inspired:

Design: Loved the blocks of color and the black strips running through the piece.

Color Combo: Speaks for itself

Typography: Loved the random letters included in the artwork...how some of them were turned upside down, so I incorporated that into my title.

The End Result:

Friday Challenge!!!

Again, haven't had a chance to scrap even though I'm so inspired by these websites. I hope to get a chance soon, but I'll be in San Francisco all next week.

Meanwhile, here's a Friday Challenge for you. Love the use of the "Golden Mean/Ratio" here. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Weekly Inspiration

Note for July: I will be on vacation a lot this month and so will not be using a guest designer. I will still be posting inspiration but you will probably see a few less layouts from me. Have fun anyway, and still link up your projects because I'd love to see them!

The two websites I chose for this week have similar designs for their logos, but I loved them. You can be inspired by the logos posted here or go to the actual websites and be inspired by the products for sale or other aspects of the website. I actually recommend you go to the actual websites because there is so much more inspiration for you than I could ever post here!

Friday Challenge!!!

This weekend challenge is brought to you by Alacey. Love this CD cover she found. Make a layout inspired by it and link it up here for all of us to see!

Alacey's take on this challenge:
"I got the new Toby line from Elsie and it came with a doodled page! SCORE! I loved the doodling on the cd cover! Reminds me of high school. I tried and tried to find a picture of me and Chris when we were in high school but I couldn't!! This picture works too! "


Have fun!

A little birdie told me: Layout inspired by music

The inspiration:


How I was inspired:

Design: Loved the semi circles. Used them slightly differently, but my semi circles were totally inspired by the CD cover.

Color Combination: Loved the colors, so I found some patterned paper that had a similar color theme. I also used it in my letter stickers...fun way to use up a lot of different letters!

The End Result:


How does it inspire you?

Little mother: Guest designer Layout inspired by music

The inspiration:

How she was inspired:

Design: "My eyes immediately focused on the curves between the 2 witches....I put my title in the same place but instead of doing another title down at the bottom, I used that space for my journaling. "

The End Result:

How does it inspire you?

06: Layout inspired by music

The inspiration:

How I was inspired:

Design: I loved the way pictures made up the letters on this poster. So, I took that idea and made huge numbers to fill with pictures. I was able to get 16 pictures on a 2 page 8.5x11 layout. All of them started out as 4x6 prints and I cropped them down according to my needs.

The End Result:


How does it inspire you?
