St. Louis Arch

Monday, July 22, 2013

Well Good morning everyone!  I'm starting my Monday off with a new LO to share for the new Challenge blog: ScrapStuffz "Inspired by".  I am very please to be a part of this blog, I think the team is filled with creative people, and I love  being Inspired by everything around me.

We are starting things off with one challenge a month. We thought you'd like ample time to create a LO.  This month, we are inspired by this image:


I think this is a really fun way to celebrate the month of red.white and blue. Here is what I created:

These photos are from our 2008 spring break trip to St. Louis. Our older son wanted to explore and chose St.Louis.  I had originally intended to scrap them right away and make a mini book. I'm glad I didn't.  Waiting has given me a different perspective on the trip. Details have been forgotten, but that's ok. I see different details now.

I thought it would be fun to do red, white and blue for non-July 4 photos.  These were a good choice.    I liked that the washi tape reminded me of the shooting burst on the inspiration image.  The red pearls I cut apart. They go with the arch. A happy Lo for fun happy photos.

This is one of the first LO I created after my little hiatus.  Needing a staring point, I used this awesome sketch from Let's Get Sketchy.  Sheesh, about time I played along over there!  

There is lot of red, white and blue this month.  I hope you will join us for some additional inspiration at ScrapStuffz "Inspired by".
