design inspiration...!

ok so i finally got my own copy of the November/December issue of Simple...IT ROCKS!
yeah i know i have pages in it and that i am personally invested, but who cares it is an awesome issue!

totally consumed with design inspiration, i have to say Beth Proudfoot you are a design diva!
(really, and not only because you're from NJ either.)

beth's LO on page 27 is today's inspiration...if you don't have the issue, go get it!
it is all about linear curves, at least that's what i like to call it.

todays challenge: make a lo inspired by linear curves!
post a link to your LO on my blog so that we all can see how you have been inspired.
i am going to do my LO for blackberry buckets.

I saw this LO when I picked up the mag on Friday and I loved it too! Thanks for the challenge!

[Angelique]

I just might give this a try tonight. I have been in the mood to do something- might as well be this!

Fun fun! Thanks!

My issue arrived yesterday! I noticed this layout too, is on my "to scraplift" list already!

Your layouts in the mag rocked too, especially the photo frame!

[Lee]

Oh still hanging out for my latest issue to arrive! GRRRR I hate waiting.

[Angelique]

Here is my take on your little challenge. I feel mine turned out a little too simple- i feel like it might be missing something. But whatever. Here it is, Simple and Sweet. I was in the mood and whipped it out right after seeing this post! Thanks Donna!

I've been looking everywhere for that issue--I'm in it and haven't seen it... Senior Retreat page... have you seen it??

Thanks for the inspiration!

That was my favorite layout in the issue too! Love it! Think I'll give your challenge a try!

[Amber Lee]

I agree about it being a great issue. I think it's the best one in a long time. I looovvvveee Beth's work!! That layout rocked my world. I'm so glad you posted it here so everyone could see it!

I think SS has the best team right now that they've ever had. Love it!

Awesome LO....I LOVE the curve, so cool!

[Beth Proudfoot]

I was floored when I saw this on Donna's blog. I love what you guys are doing with "the curve." It's so inspiring to see how everyone adds their
own creative flair to a page. Thank you for making my day! Beth Proudfoot

[Kristen]

Loved this issue too! Totally inspiring - I have already lifted a few layouts. Here's my take on the curves...

I always love seeing a Beth page! You rock girlie! Can't wait to get my issue and see this page in person. Love the curves, not to mention the colors of that Christmas page! Darling! I definately want to take on this challenge Donna. I'll see if I can come up with somethin. Don't know exactly WHEN, but hopefully SOON.
