March 2012

I am not doing too well in Project 12 this year. Seven months gone, two months completed...

* Banners: Paislee Press

* Title: Shimelle Laine @ Two Peas in a Bucket (digital)

* Embossing Powder: American Crafts

* Sketch: October Afternoon

I used a sketch this time, and I literaly copied all the photo shapes exactly. I hardly ever use different sized photos and this helped me to make something different without having to do any design work!

Here's the originak sketch from the October Afternoon blog:

Looking for inspiration

 I am guilty on saving pages of magazines, bookmarking, pinteresting lots of inspirational ideas and not using them effectively.

To combat this, sometimes I am deliberately using a sketch, photo or a design as the starting point for a layout. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I strayed from the sketch, but still you can see where I found the inspiration:

And this cute shoe (by JoyFolie) I found in Pinterest:

I used everything this time, the colour palette, the stripes, the orange and white round shapes.
