Digital Scrapbooking Blog and Scrapbook Inspiration
from DesignerDigitals

I love how Bluelemur (aka Jennifer) scraplifted herself for this great layout! (Here’s her original)and here’s her lift of herself:

And why woudn’t you want to recreate such a great page?! Love that strong, photos-first design and the delicate use of elements and text. I know you’ll be able to find lots of inspiration in her lovely page, just as Bonnie, Janet and Linda did:

Woohoo Another two weeks has flown by and the itunes challenge is here again
I’ve had so much fun adding new inspiration to my huuuuuuuuge itunes folder - but dont forget; if you know of a good example of ‘CD artwork that could be a layout’ please let me know. The more the merrier!

This time its Sting gracing our inspiration…

And heres how the Creative team helped me out-

Sam has used this fabulous dog photo on a very funny page - isnt British the dog adorable?!!

Anna was very clever - as always- and turned the quirky picture shape into a 7. Genius!

Amy used an awesome pic of her son. Scrapping grown up sons is no mean feat, but she always does it so well!!

And speaking of grown up sons, heres my page Kal is 17 and not easy to get pictures of!! I *think* this page is arty and masculine enough for him. I can tell if he likes a page because it will turn up as his facebook picture!

I look forward to seeing the pages you rustle up from this starting point. Remember to post your pages in the itunes gallery when youve been inspired!

It’s time for another Simply Inspired Contest and your chance to win some free goodies from the Designer Digitals store!!! Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for some fun new design inspiration! This week we want to see how this book cover can jumpstart your creativity: 

Feel free to pull inspiration from the clean color-blocked design, the cool color combination, or the idea of using an acronym on your layout (B = Beautiful, A = Accepted, etc.). Or try creating a layout that celebrates being a girl or honoring a significant girl or woman in your life! It all qualifies! This is just about taking one piece of design and seeing all the different and unique ways each of us is inspired.

When your layout is complete, upload it to the Simply Inspired gallery on or before July 13, 2009 to be in the running for a $10 gift certificate to the Designer Digitals store!!!

I can’t wait to see how you are simply inspired!
