fishy

I was never a fan of Navy blue until recently. Like the past few days recently. It started popping up everywhere and I tried hard to pass up several scrappy lines that contained this color and I am so happy that I did not pass these collections up. I have to say that I adore this layout- I originally had intended to use shades of pinks and greys and whites with a softer blue added in, but I really wasn't feeling it. I felt as if I needed something different to make these pictures pop, and when I started to dig through my paper piles I kept coming across navy blue, so I went with it and gathered up some different papers containing the color and I was really digging how they looked with the pink and really made these pics stand out. (gosh I wish they would always look as good on this blog as they do irl)

My layout was inspired by a challenge/inspiration piece on the ScrapStuffz blog.



supplies:
cs: Recollections
pp: MME- Kate & co. oxford lane, MME the sweetest thing, Echo Park Photo Freedom Vol. 1, American Crafts Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm

here is the inspiration piece:
 
I was originally inspired by the sunburst background and that was my starting point. It didn't even dawn on me until I was nearly done to add the fish by the title, so the fish was also an inspiration for my layout as well.
 
One more thing before I sign off- ScrapStuffz is looking for design team members- why not give it a try?
 
Take care!

  6. I just love your sunburst! Awesome paper choices. I really like the pink and navy too. Not sure I would have thought to pair that color combo, but I like it a lot. I love the scalloped boarder on you photo matte and those chevrons just pull the eye down to the title and journaling. Great use of design to move the eye through the layout. I am in love with that one red H too! Very cute. Thanks for playing, hope to see you next month!
