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

Both Sarah and Marla's layouts are wonderful in that they tell a story. Love the use of arrows and chevrons in cards and scrapbooking. I'm a fan of Stampin Up! and can't imagine scrapbooking without using Scrapbook Adhesives. Can hardly wait to get their newest products.

Love the geometric themes shared this hour. So much inspiration to be had. :D

Thats an awesome idea. It almost looks like you have a diecut on your page. And a person could cut pictures from the occasion into the triangles as well. Very cool.
