okay. maybe because I already had my glasses on my mind, but I decided to go with the glasses in the picture. I also used this alpha that resembles some typewriter keys, to me. and some older looking paper. Story of my Glasses by klee73010 posted Jan 20, 2017 at 8:58 PM
Here is my layout. I change the photo to make it look more vintage looking. The woodgrain from the inspirational layout is in the brackets.
My inspiration was the vintage aura of the photo, along with the colors. This is my Mom https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/moc17-inspiration-challenge.285051/
Inspired by: the woodgrain background; b&w photo; notebook paper; circle tag; string; elements around the outside
The photo inspired me to work around the edges and leave the middle empty. I have never done a layout like that before.... MOC 17 Kit - I Like Big Books by Kristin Aagard (journal box paper is from the kit Academics by Kristen Aagard)
Challenge 17 - Inspiration Challenge My Inspiration came from the wood grain background, the typewriter, the journal and the overall vintage feel. I used the wood grain paper from the Storyteller January 2017 kit from Just Jaimee and layered one of the papers from The Old Curiosity Shop on top, all other items came from The Old Curiosity Shop as well by Dawn Inskip.
I got inspiration from the wood background, the typewriter (font) and then scrapping around the edges of the page.
Thanks for the challenge, Jill! That photo is so appealing with the vintage feel and all organised around the edge. And your layout is absolutely gorgeous. Hope you like mine!
I was inspired by the vintage feel, so I used a vintage photo. Loved the wood background and the white space (only because I only had 2 photos for this “event”!). MOC5-Day17-Inspiration Image - Novella by tlcd1961 posted Jan 21, 2017 at 9:25 PM
I was definitely inspired by the typewriter, it instantly made me think back to my days of working as a typist for an insurance company. Maybe not exactly what you think of as vintage, but 1981 feels vintage to me.
