Every so often I read a blog post where someone is talking about being inspired by product. And I never quite understand - I love all my pretty paper and embellishments but they don't really inspire a project.
But then I got my hand on these acetate words from the Life Noted Collection by Pinkfresh Studio.
I had a pack in my stash but haven't cracked them open. But a partial pack came in my April Citrus Twist kits - And they are amazing. The colors are bright and fun, but the translucent nature of the product adds a certain lightness. I immediately tried to use as many of them as I could on a single layout.
My first idea was to use them to create a patterned paper feel across the bottom of my layout - and that looked pretty awesome, but I couldn't figure out the rest of the layout. So I ended up with a basic grid design.
They were so much fun and really framed the photo perfectly. I was also excited to see how well they worked with other embellishment pieces - especially the Amy Tangerine Better Together rubber bits.
I've just about used up the ones that came in my kit - now the challenge is to keep myself from hoarding the pack I have in my stash. Oh - and when I was looking for a product photo for this post, they were gone at most of my favorite online stores. But it turns out they are on sale at Scrapbook.com.
Hope you have a great Monday.

Fabulous page!! LOVE how you used those fun acetate words!!
ReplyDeleteI have trouble with acetate, or vellum type things. I really like the idea to use them as sort of a do it yourself patterned paper, that's clever. Thanks for sharing. Great layout, cute photo. Michelle t
ReplyDeleteGreat use of arrows to keep the eye moving around the page! Are those the same words included in Studio Calico's Spoonful?
