Find Inspiration: Home Decor
Guess what? Home decor is one of my favorite places to find inspiration for Elsies scrapbook pages. Why you ask? Well if she loves it in her home she is sure to love it in her books. Her challenge to you is to find something in your house and use it for inspiration.

Challenge 46 Play with Paint

Play with paint
Acrylic paint - it's not just for backgrounds anymore. I think acrylic paint is one of the most versatile supplies out there. For one it come in hundreds of beautiful colors. And you can use just a little on your layouts to create impact. You can use it to make lines for journaling, stamped with it on transparency to make a custom accent, and hand-painted journaling right on top of a photograph. Elsie's challenge to you is to play with acrylic paint and find a way to use it within your own personal style

Challenge 45 - Add an Arrow

Challenge 45 -
Add an Arrow
Elsie loves the arrow as a design element. It has such an easy way to direct your reader's eye exactly where you want it to go. And the really fun thing about an arrow is that you can make it out of so many different things, including your leftover scraps of patterned paper, ribbons, photo corners, chipboard, triangle shaped embellishments, stitching, floss, ric rack and more.
