inspiration: Cindy Scraps

hey everyone! welcome to another fun and inspirational blog hop, presented to you by the Gossamer Blue design team. we have lots of layouts, project life and cards to share with you using lots of goodies from the November kits.

if you're following along, you should have arrived here from Brenda Weaver blog. but no worries if you stumble, you can pick right back up beginning at GB's blog.

i am having fun creating extra projects for the blog hops lately, but at the same time, i've not been using the printables as much as i would like. so, i challenged myself to create a simple page doing just that. i used most of the circle elements from both the life pages and main kit printables. added a few stamp word accents, heart embellishments for balance and softened the journaling with vellum. a quick and easy layout all while still getting my story across.

this months color palette is so yum, lots of purples, teals, yellows... my faves! so, so good! i hope you are having fun creating with your November kits. challenge yourself to create with just a few sets of elements and see what comes of it.

now on to Diane's blog... happy creating :)

hello there and welcome to Gossamer Blue's first inspiration blog hop where the GB team has come together to bring you inspiration using October kits.

if you've arrived from Brenda Weaver site, then you're in the right place! have you been having fun creating with this months kits? i know i have. i really loved the bold colors and geometric patterns in this months collection. today's inspiration layout is a little something extra i wanted to create because i loved the kit that much and because it felt great to create a little something extra all for fun!

Supplies used to create this page can be found in October's main kit, bits & pieces, main add-on kit and life pages kit.

for my page, i kept it simple and combined bold colors with simple graphic patterns, stripes and polka dots to compliment my family photo. the wood veneer frame was perfect and i used simple accents to surround it and the photo. the 'L' wood veneer anchors atop the frame to complete the sticker phrase. then i colored it with a gold metallic pen to continue the gold accents throughout the page.

i rarely use hidden journaling, so this was a fun addition to my page using like colors as the background. combined stamps from both main and life pages kits. the title treatment for the layout design is cut out from my Cameo wrapped around and framing the 8x8 design. this was fun and i love how it turned out. adding the bold yellow cardstock really balances out the overall page design perfectly.

thanks for stopping by and taking a peek into my page... hope it inspires you to play with titles. next up is Danielle Flanders... head on over to her page for more inspiration.

here's a complete list to keep you on track with the blog hop...
