Gathered Together

A new challenge is up at The Studio Challenges and it's time to get inspired by a lovely table setting photo.  Here is my inspirational take to share with you.

and here is the beautiful table setting photo to inspire you!

What instantly inspires you about this photo?  For me it was the banquet table, the place settings, the centerpiece, the holidays... but most of all, the warm loving feeling of family all together!

For this layout I used the Wish Season collection by Fancy Pants.  I'm totally in love with the colors and the fun embellishments included.  The only additional items I used were some little wooden accents and a strip of ripped vellum.  This all came together so easy and I just love how it turned out!

What do you think?  Are you inspired?  I sure hope so!  Go take another look at our table setting photo and get creative.  I really look forward to seeing what you come up with.  Be sure to share with us at The Studio Challenges for your chance to be one of our Guest Designers.

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy scrapping to you!

Hello Sunshine

We've got new challenge up at The Studio Challenges!  I do hope that you take the time to join in with us.  It's a fun one to kick start November!  It's all about color and we've got a beautiful fall palette to follow.  Here is my take.

and here is the color palette to follow

Aren't the colors beautiful?! And the sunflowers?!  Perfect for this time of year.  I just fell in love with it!  The color bar layout also inspired me and I created my layout from that design.  I'm really happy with my turn out.  Here are a few close ups for more detail.

As you can see I also incorporated a sunflower in my layout as well.  They are one of my most favorite flowers and this was the perfect opportunity for me to scrap one of my many pictures I have of the gorgeous sunflower fields that are located in upper Michigan.

For this layout I used my August scrapbook kit from Gossamer Blue.  The mixture of paper prints were perfect for this challenge and I didn't have to dig to deep to match the colors.

Now it's your turn!  Go have some fun with it and be sure to share with us at The Studio Challenges.  I'd really love to see what you come up with!  Thanks so much for stopping by and happy scrapping to you!
