Helllllllo Monday! We are thrilled to have our great friend and fabulous designer Paula Gilarde joining us to share her "Monday Inspiration". A little kick start to week! Are you ready for a challenge this week? Let's get going...
"Happy Monday everybody! Paula here with some scrappy inspiration for you today. When I am stuck for ideas for a layout I pull out a magazine, any kind of a magazine, and look at the ads. Here is an advertisement I got from a magazine this month.
I like the way the title and the jouranling are stacked in a column on top of the photos. There's lots of great inspiration here. It inspired me to create this layout:
I stacked my title, journaling and photos and layered the bottom of the layout with embellishments (leaves in this case!)
I was also inspired to create a card based on the ad - this time I stacked the sentiment:
Next time you are looking through a magazine take a closer look at the ads - they might inspire you more than you realize!

I love looking at layouts and trying to figure out how to get them down to card size. I rarely scrap at all, but these layouts could tempt me.

Love the fall leaves........unfortunately we don't get large colorful leaves in our part of Canada (at the coast) Some, but not enough to "roll in the leaves".
Just beautiful layout!
