Instagram inspiration challenge

Post by Monica »

So, during break I was skimming Instagram and found a layout that appealed to me for multiple reasons. To start with, I love the pops of color against a mostly white background, but the background isn't just white, it has spatters! The borders at top and bottom, with scalloped and other edges in different scales, patterns, and length, appeal to me. The use of flowers and other embellishments to make a vertical statement and draw the eye to one picture. The four tags, each with different patterned papers and embellishment. So many things to love and draw inspiration from!

The challenge: use this layout to inspire something. Maybe it's the page design, or perhaps the paint spatters. Do scalloped borders speak to you? Maybe it's time to play with a tag or two. Add flowers and other embellishments to something. Color a stamped image with the palette, or use those colors to make a travel journal page. No boundaries, just share what inspired you.

Cute page!
I’ll try to play along when I’m back home in a couple of weeks. Lots of good stuff on that page.

I like that page. I think I have some pictures that would work with that layout. I'll try to get to it in the next week. Thanks for the challenge.

I feel like I've already scrapped these photos, but I can't find anything. I must have tried at some point, but it probably wasn't coming together, and I put it aside (something that happens quite often for me).
Anyway, I liked a lot of things about the challenge page and since I had three pictures of my Pileated Woodpeckers, I chose the page design as my inspiration.
These two were so cute - they weren't pecking or drilling on the tree at all. They were kind of playing peek-a-boo and chasing each other around the tree trunk.

Terrific page, Sue. Spotting one Pileated Woodpecker is challenge enough here, never mind getting to watch two play peek-a-boo! I love the way you've put your photos on banners, not only drawing attention to them, but otherwise giving interest to them. Tree trunks that disappear out of both the top and bottom of the frame are a challenge.
