Being inspired by another project can take many forms. From lifting the design, to choosing a similar color scheme, you can be inspired by a small or large part of something and make it your own. That’s what Melissa Mann did today, and she used a shape featured heavily on one of Jennifer McMurtrey‘s layouts to kick off her page. Let’s take a look!
Hello and happy-last-day-of-July! This is Melissa here with you all. I’m sharing a layout that was heavily inspired by this fabulous layout originally created by Jennifer McMurtrey:
As soon as I saw her layout with the star banner sprinkled across the layout, I knew I was going to have to create a project that featured lots of stars!
Supplies | July 2019 Kit, July 2019 Digital Cut File, July Labels, 4th of July Puffy Stickers, Sunshine 6 x 6 Paper Stack, You Are My Sunshine Stamp, Large Jane Alphabet Stamp — Solid, Large Jane Alphabet Metal Die, Noteworthy 12 x 12 Paper Collection
I started my layout by stamping a ton of red and blue stars using the You Are My Sunshine Stamp across the kraft cardstock. Once I did this, I splattered some ink around and adhered vellum, a 4″ x 6″ journaling card from the July 2019 Kit and my three small photos across the middle of the layout. Once these elements were adhered, I started tucking in the paper stars, cut using the July 2019 Digital Cut File, around the layout and adhering them down.
I created my title “PLAY BALL” using the Large Jane Alphabet Stamp and Metal Dies and placed it along the top edge of my photos. I used the 4th of July Puffy Stickers and die cuts from the July 2019 Kit to further embellish my layout.
