Sometimes creativity goes on vacation ...

(Layout credits: Paper from Random Blue Minis, words from Random Blue Words, from Tracy Ann Designs. Brush frame from Web Challenge at DesignerDigitals. Inspiration from Web Challenge at ScrapArtist.

... and no matter how hard I try, the layout just won't jell. I think I spent about four hours last night working on this layout, and at the end of the night, I saved it into a WIP folder. This morning, I thought I would check out the web challenge at ScrapArtist for this week, and found this ...

I think out of all the stuff I use for inspiration, ads and websites are my favourites, probably because they are well-designed (they have to be!) and to the point.

I had my very own designer custom-make the blue distressed border (thanks, Megan!) and she suggested the font, so by the time I got to the end of all the credits, I am not sure that much of it is mine, lol. But I'm happy now ... and you would totally NOT recognize the sad effort from last night in the above layout, lol! It is funny the places that creativity takes us, and that we eventually end up at! I'll probably be back later today, just wanted to share this layout. More next time ...
