Inspiration challenge – September 2016

[Cassel]

Looking at other’s projects is always a source of inspiration. We can often think…

• I like those colors together
• nice way to incorporate a title
• I didn’t think of arranging photos like that
• what a fun element they used
• very interesting topic to scrap
• etc.

So, I would love to create some inspiration from layouts I have done, or others i have seen. So, for the rest of September, I am offering you a layout to grab inspiration from to create your own project.

Share your project in this thread and tell us what part of the initial layout inspired you. Your project will possibly end up VERY different than the source, and that is totally ok.

I recently bought the gold chain tubes. With summer on it’s way out I was looking back on some pics I took last year when we had a short Indian summer. And came up with this page. I like the use of the gold chains connecting the tags to the main photo.

Sue, I keep forgetting to comment.  I love that photo from between your horse’s ears….it gives an extra element to that sweeping view beyond.  The colors are quite lovely together and I also like the use of the gold chains.  A nice idea gives a little extra sense of visual movement to the whole.  Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Dianne for your very kind words. It was Nell’s colour that inspired me to use the colours I did, and it went from there. I must admit the best views in the world in my opinion is between my Meg and Nell’s ears.
