Kristin inspired us to use something from architecture to inspire our project. I was inspired by rows of buildings where each building is a different color and size to create this...
I also made this layout of my coworker Christine... isn't she adorable!?
I blurred out a bit of the journaling :)
Today I visited a scrappy blog that is pretty new to me and I started to notice that this particular scrapper has used some the exact same embellies, colors and shapes over and over on her last 15 pages or so. I am sure this is something we all do... whether we are aware of it or not. And over-time, what we are "into" on our projects probably changes some.
So I decided to take a look at my own stuff and see what things stay the same and what has changed. A few observations... First MY PATTERNS.
Everyone knows I LOVE to doodle
And I totally embrace the no photo layouts
I tend to love bold colors with neutral backgrounds
Lately, I keep doing pages with a block down one side of the page
I also really like grid designs...
BUT I do try some new things... I can see how I try to break out of routine here and there :)
I have noticed that I am trying slowly to get messier and experiment with paint and ink more...
And every so often I manage to use white space (something I am still trying to embrace)
So my CHALLENGE to YOU... blog at least TWO trends you see in your work and at least ONE thing you have been trying out that is new :)
