Inspired!!

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! I'm having a terrific one...spent time cleaning the house, running just a few errands and SCRAPPING!!! Last night, I decided to hang out in the sCRAP room and play!! I watched "Live Free, Die Hard" (love me my action movies...love me my Bruce!) and decided to do a layout that I had in my mind for awhile! I originally had a different title for this one, but while working on it, the "So You" title just popped into my head and I liked it! I'll save my other cute title for another layout!

I have this friend Cathy, and she has such an amazing sense of style! I just love to look at her layouts, they are always so beautiful. What totally kills me is that she just does them! No real thought, she just creates! I wish I had that ability to just sit down and make something beautiful without all the constant pains of thought...plans, re-thinking, blah, blah, blah! I decided that I was going to use Cathy's style as the inspiration for this layout. It isn't how I normally scrap (though, wish it was LOL), and so after browsing all her eye candy in her gallery at the Freak, I got a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do with my layout! I have to say, while it took me awhile to get into the groove of it, once I got going, I had a great time creating! I used only white Bazzill as the base, Bo-Bunny rub-ons, Thickers (of course), a chunk of Making Memories ribbon (halloween ribbon too!) and sparkly brads, and a few florals to which I added some blingy gems to the centers! Look, no patterend papers!! Jump back!! LOL!! I am sooo happy with how this turned out that I might just use Cathy for more inspiration in my future layouts! The pictures I took of Miss Mandi a few weekends ago when we were having lunch at Navy Pier.


Thanks Cathy! Thanks for all your beautiful work and the inspiration you give to me!

Until next time,
Blessings!
