Here it is! The 2:00 scrappy challenge.

Postby Dana D on Sat May 09, 2009 12:01 pm

Hi! and welcome to the 2:00 hour of our National Scrapbook Day (well OK, we're a week late for NSD) online CROP! It's time for an inspiration/scraplift challenge. But there's a twist, the twist is that you will have to find your own inspiration, and I bet you already have lots of inspiration around you.... I always love details of layouts in a magazine, parts of an advertisement, the color scheme on a shirt or parts of a project right here in our gallery. So, my challenge is to choose 3 small pieces of inspiration from 3 different sources and create a layout using those inspirations. Be sure to tell what or who you were inspired by, and link us up to the inspiration if you can, we'd love to be inspired too!

Here is my layout

I've taken my inspiration from 3 different places..... First of all, I loved the paper placement of this beautiful layout by Kim Watson in the May issue of Scrapbook Trends Magazine.

My second inspiration came from our special May guest designer Jana Eubank. I love to check out her BLOG and have recently been super inspired by the circles she uses on her layouts frequently. I love how a circle really draws your eye in, I used a circle on my layout to draw your eye right to the photos.

The third piece of inspiration has to do with the computer journaling on my page. I used to computer journal on my pages all the time, but I've gotten away from it lately. I really love the computer journaling that Amy (billygirl) did on this lovely layout, loved the pretty cursive font too.

So, take a look around you, see what inspires you. Everyone who participates in my challenge, posts their finished layout in the NSD CROP gallery and links it back to this thread by Sunday, May 17th at midnight Eastern Time , will be added to our scrappy challenge drawing for this awesome prize. It's a complete BoBunny word album kit! Super cool.

You can do as many challenge layouts as you wish, and each time you link it back to this thread you will get another draw for the prize. Your challenge layout must be newly created for our crop. Thanks for participating, and have fun!

Guess I need to start searching for the exact three inspirational pieces to use. Glad I got home in time to start.

Neat layout, Dana.
