Hello SCT readers, Marla with you! If you're just joining us now, we share the theme of the day in THIS post! I hope you’re enjoying interNational Scrapbooking Day and feeling inspired by all of the amazing projects on the blog. Recently I was inspired by a layout called “Play Everyday” by Sarah Webb (page 72, spring issue).
I loved the directional chevron design on this layout, the text strips and the fun title. These elements drove me to create a layout of my own titled “This happened.”
I created a directional element with the patterned paper drawing the eye to the photo. I tucked in the title and added journaling strips, similar to what Sarah had done. Thank you Sarah Webb and ALL of you readers for inspiring me everyday! ~ Marla

That directional chevron on Sarah's page works so well! Love the colours and patterns. I'm feeling very inspired now to go scrap a bit, using a big, bold chevron background.

Your chevron direction is fabulous. Love it.
Love the project life cards and a girl needs a lot of adhesive to go with all the pictures and papers.

Chevrons are so popular now. I can't ever imagine getting tired of them as they work as pointers to the important things (like kids). Your colours are pleasing as well.

Your "This Happened" Layout is beautiful. I do like how the chevrons look like arrows and I like how you filled them with different colors and patterns. I always need more adhesive. Thanks for the chance to win!!

This is my first stop of the day (got a bit of a late start)! So glad to see that the exciting celebration is in full swing! I love the geometrical backgrounds on the chevron pages. They create wonderful visual interest while drawing your eye toward the main focal point(s). Such a generous prize by SU! and Scrapbook adhesives! Thanks to these fabulous companies for supporting activities like these on a day that recognizes the importance of scrapbooking and paper crafting in the lives of so many!
