Sundays are often my best chance to play in my scrap room. And it seems like the ideas tend to dry right up. So the first thing I do on Sunday mornings is go to my favorite inspiration spots to get that creative spark going. And today it worked!
One of the places I check every Sunday is the Studio Calico blog. SC publishes 3 sketches on Sunday - a scrapbook sketch, a documenter (project life) sketch and a card sketch. This week I liked all the sketches but the documenter sketch was the one that inspired a layout right away. (I think it is a lot of fun to adapt a sketch to a different type of project.)
I'm not sure what drew my eye - maybe the arrows - but I looked at the sketch and immediately had an idea for a layout about my daughter getting her temps. I turned the sketch on its side for purposes of a traditional layout (though I think it would work well with a horizontal orientation too).
I just received the Jolly Holiday kit last week and started with supplies from that kit. Then I went to my stsh for some arrows, some oversized letters and some scraps of neutral papers. And I ended up with this.
I still seriously love the giant chipboard letters - these are from the Ali Edwards shop - the color is Astoria. I just wish I could be more vowels (and maybe a few other letters). And I have been hoarding those arrow die cuts - now I know why. They were perfect for this layout.
Hope you find time to play today. Have an amazing Sunday.

Great layout. Cool. I like how you used the PL sketch. One of my 16 year olds just got his license last week (the other isn't quite as motivated). The photo's in my pile to scrap. Love this cool one! Michelle t
