justem: little bits of this and that

Bloom {Gossamer Blue Pinspired}

 

Hi! I was up last week on the Gossamer Blue blog with my monthly Pinspired challenge!  I used a fun piece of typographic art as my inspiration.  All the letters piled up along the bottom spell "We Love Bloom Bake Shop," which is our favorite local bakery!  

I included little bits of wood veneer all over the layout - the flowers the exclusive "favorite" circle!

I outlined the letters of the title, while leaving the extra letters plain. I hoped this would help draw the eye to the title!

This was a really fun layout to make. I love all the letters and colors!  To see the original piece of inspiration, check out my post on the GB blog. Have a great day!

Determination {Gossamer Blue Inspiration Blog Hop}

Hello, and welcome to another edition of the Gossamer Blue Inspiration Blog Hop! Have you noticed that in the world of kit clubs it's always go, go, go and often before you've even received your kit in the mail there are is already buzz about the next kit? It can be frustrating. We at Gossamer Blue want you to know that we feel your pain and are here with some November inspiration for those of you who are currently knee-deep into this month's kits!

I have a great series of photos of my daughter going across the monkey bars. I decided to print them all out and include them on my page. I overlapped them imperfectly on purpose to give the sense of her moving. The only complicated issue is that they actually go from right to left!  I loved so many of the Life Pages cards this month - so many fun prints and patterns! I decided to use four of them to make some colorful stars for the top of my page - the plaid is my favorite! On a whim I added a few lines of black pen to each star, only to realize that it almost mimics the idea of swinging like in the photos. It was totally unintentional! Finally, to add a little more color to my layout, I included some fun rub-ons over my journaling!

To hop along with everyone, here is a list of the blog hop participants this month!  Remember you can always reference the Gossamer Blue blog for a full list of participants! Have a great Sunday!

Hi there! I'm so excited to be a guest contributor at Elle's Studio this month! I created a fun layout using their November Kit. and a few of their cute new lines.  To see my layout, you need to purchase the Exclusive Kit Mini Course, which is only $4.99.
