Inspiration
(from challenges at 7 Dots Studio, Berry71bleu
& Scrapki-wyzwaniowo)


I am so happy to be off work for another week (YAY to Summer holidays!) and since I did not make any plans other than just staying home and taking it easy, I am spending most of my days in my scraproom doing what I love best!

Today I was able to create this layout inspired by 3 different challenges:


The first challenge that inspired me is the July-August challenge from 7 Dots Studio which is to share a favorite quote which is what I did.  The quote is from the famous Helen Keller.  What true words of wisdom from such a special lady!  She wasn't able to see nature with her eyes, but she no doubt felt the beauty and wonder of it with her heart!


The next challenge that I incorporated into my creation is the August "Summer Hideaway" challenge at Berry71bleu.  As you can see, I loved the mood board and used the colour palette on my page.  My "Summer Hideaway" is exploring and walking among nature... totally awe-inspiring every time!


The final challenge with which I am playing along today is the Scrapki-wyzwaniowo August challenge, all about meadow flowers.  I added a piece of the Tranquility Foliage chipboard from Blue Fern Studios and used a stunning wallpaper image with a wild flower on it (borrowed from here).



I absolutely adore these papers from 7 Dots Studio, from the Nature Walk and Cold Country collections, which were totally perfect for the whole theme of this page.  I was able to coordinate with several tags and die-cut shapes also from 7 Dots Studio in order to create my homage to nature on paper!  The chipboard word 'Inspiration' is from Blue Fern Studios.



I created many layers with tags, stickers, die-cuts, chipboard and flowers.


I added some dot and leafy flourish stamped designs using a 7 Dots Studio stamp set and sprinkled in some green microbeads.


Below, you can read the quote that I chose.  Beautiful words to never forget, aren't they?


Thank you so much to 7 Dots Studio, Berry71bleu and Scrapki-wyzwaniowo for inspiring me to create today!  I hope you enjoy my layout and that it inspires you to create too!

Now I'm off, dreaming up my next project!
