I say it all the time, but I will say it again...inspiration is all around us! And I love that! Last month on the Fancy Pants blog, I did a post about being inspired by the everyday life. I spent a lot of time on the couch then, first sick, and then with my leg. There was one day when I was looking at the ordinary view from the couch and got inspired...I snapped this picture with my phone:
I saw the cool design the light was making above the curtains. I could also see photos instead of the curtains and a basic sketch in my head. So I took the photo with my phone and later made this page based on the inspiration:
I hope you can see the design in my layout. I not only was inspired by the design, but was also inspired to play with light a bit. I just love the photos I used. I just hand cut those pieces that I used above and below the photos. I used a little bit from several of Fancy Pants' collections, including Saint Nick, Summer's End, and Off to School.
Here are some close up's of my layout:
Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you are inspired to actively look around you and see what inspiration you can find! Have a fabulous day!
