Inspiration Elevator


These photos were sitting at my desk for months, since March actually. Two printed photos, ticket stubs and and the Lorax activity booklet that I planned to use for my layout. The pictures were from Eli's first visit to the movie theater, but they were not that great. I wanted to tell this story but wasn't really inspired by the pictures. Until few days ago I came across this post on Lisa's blog. Any post by Lisa is inspiring but that one pushed me to take my "not so great pictures" and see what I can so with them. At first I had Truffula trees all over the page but eventually I just left one small Lorax that I cut out of the activity booklet.

Supplies: patterned paper, stickers (Basic Grey), letter stickers (Bella Blvd.), film ribbon (Tim Holtz), white pen (Uniball Signo), buttons (American Crafts), twine, staples
 

I am still not sure if I actually like this layout but I am glad that this memory is in Eli's scrapbook now.
Go check Lisa's blog and all other blogs that participated in the Inspiration Elevator challenge. And after that go find a blurry photo to scrapbook. We all have one, right?
