Jana says:I fell in love with Brook's style the minute I saw this page. I
love the placement of everything and how she chose colors that
complimented the softness of her photos. I followed Brook's lead when
selecting patterns for my page, but chose to go with a
brighter color palette to coordinate with the colors of the butterfly's
wings in my photos.
Like Brook, I used a tone-on-tone floral for the page base and I
chose a neutral graphic paper for the background of the design. I really
liked how Brook used a 6 x 6 sheet of paper to anchor her photos. The
bright pattern peeking out from the left and
right sides of the photos was the perfect splash of fun. Instead of
graphic chevrons, I chose to go with flowers to stay with the "nature"
theme of my page topic.
I love the way Brook sprinkled wood hearts and enamel dots around
her page. I created my own version with stickers, layered stickers,
chipboard and enamel dots.
I added a journal block to the right side of my page design like
Brook did. However, my journal block is vertical instead of horizontal,
so I decided to add a bit more embellishing around my journal block. I
used the Collectable Notable Decorative Brads
and Buttons along with more enamel dots. FUN!
Thanks for inspiring me, Brook! I had so much fun!

I was inspired by Katarina's fabulous layout pinned
on the MME Pinterest board. I really liked the collage of elements and
papers layered with her photos. The title and the little cluster along
the right side drew your eye across the page. She was generous
to grant me permission to use her fabulous page as inspiration.
I am in LOVE with Rhonna Farrer's new "Find Your Wings and Fly
collections. The colors and spirit of her "Up and Away" line worked
perfectly with these photos of my daughter.I snapped these before
school five years ago after I styled her hair with an
idea she found online. My, how she has changed - she is 16 now and no
longer asks me to do her hair (unless it is for Prom).

I placed chipboard and layered stickers along the left side of my page. I cut the blue ticket labels out of paper.

The "Bloom Where You Are Planted" scalloped layered sticker was the
perfect title (since she was standing in front of our flower beds) and
anchored my page. The spray of enamel dots add whimsy and movement.

For my second journaling spot, I used an array of the wonderful new
letter and word stickers - there are 6 sheets of yummy colors in the
set! As a finishing touch I layered decorative tapes, the "Smile" brad, and green enamel dots along the right side of my layout.
Thank you so much for the inspiration, Katarina!
