Congratulations to Jazzmatazz, the Double-D Scrap Challenge Week 4 Winner for her layout Happiness ... where she won a $ 25 gift certificate to use in the DesignerDigitals store.
Happy anniversary to our itunes challenge! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, they are always such a good kick off the starting block I find 
And this weeks no different -
Its very cool dont you think? A whole lot of Katie’s watery brushes going on there!!
And here is what some of the Creative Team made from it…
Wendy knocked it for six, perfectly carrying the colours and grunge over to her ‘cranky’ layout!
Debi gave it a twist, a certain ‘magical world’ twist no less! 
All very clever.
Janet - thank you Janet for always leaping up and volunteering for my itunes inspiration!- made a fabulous family page
And finally, I rounded up my most recent cloud pictures to showcase on this page…
A diverse group of pages from the same inspiration - I wonder where the challenge will take you?
Please post your pages in the itunes gallery, here.
It’s time for another Simply Inspired Contest and for your chance to win some free Designer Digitals goodies!!! Just use the inspiration piece to jumpstart your next layout and a $10 gift certificate to the Double-D store could be yours! Wanna play? Let’s get started!
This week we’re using this fun poster as our inspiration piece:
Such a fun collage of grunge, rust and distressed goodness. When I saw this, my mind immediately turned to so many of the fun products in the store. From the paper to the worn edges to the wings to the hardware, you could probably recreate this poster piece for piece. However, that’s not necessarily what this challenge is about. Feel free to take one small concept from this design and use it to spark your creativity. We want to see 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 November 16, 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!
Toys! What wonderful memories they can bring back. I remember receiving my Tiny Tears doll like it was yesterday! I’d coveted her for many many months and when she arrived she was all I ever wanted! She and I were friends for many years.
When I asked my children what toy they especially remember, all five of them answered “Atari!” Do any of you remember Space Invaders or PacMan?
When you or your children think of toys from days gone by, what special ones bring back fond memories? I asked this question of our CT and Anke and Linda both had stunning answers! Thank you ladies, for providing this week’s inspiration.
Anke’s lovely layout features a lively game of marbles, something many of you might not have ever played! I think her photo is awesome and the touches of yellow she added to her otherwise neutral layout are spectacular!
