Challenge #18 {a picture inspiration}

Happy Autumn!  Judy here, ready to share a bit of inspiration.  Today's challenge came about through my addiction love of Pinterest.  I often explore Pinterest on my phone as I am drifting off to sleep.  Sometimes I am looking for scrapbooking inspiration, recipes to feed my family, a good joke to laugh a hard day away, or visual inspiration for crafting or home decor.  The challenge today is a photo/picture inspiration.  I found this pin and fell in love:

This picture is just amazing, full of potential.  The pink and orange.  The inky appearance.  The mixture of patterns and textures.  I swear I see a dragonfly in there too!  The project I created for this week was a mini album for my daughter, Ella.  She has been begging me to make her a mini album for months!  Keeping with the color scheme and mixture of patterns, here is my project:

Here is a photo of the inside, highlighting the different textures.  I had so much fun creating this little book for my little girl.  She was excited mommy was making a complete book for her!

Without further ado, the rest of The Paper Girls projects:

Charity kept with the color scheme and mixture of patterns to create this stunning layout documenting a beautiful summer outing.  I love how she has a double banner across the top.

Charissa, documented a precious family moment, any mother can relate to her sentiments in her journaling.  She is very blessed.  I like how she filled the negative space (the title, circles, and heart) with paper she inked and stamped on.  She really captures the inspirational photo. 

Kyla, created this stunning birthday card.  I especially like the splattering of orange ink, it looks like confetti.  The pops of grey are just lovely.

Erica created this fun layout about a pair of shoes.  I love how bright and whimsical her layout is.  The circles seem to pop off the page and give the layout a sense of movement.

Kristy's layout uses her adorable daughter and her (beautiful) self as subjects.  I like how she found inspiration, the paper using to mat her photo is full of details and is all inky/painty!  The wave of bling and pink is just perfect!
