Copycat Circles

Happy Friday!  Today I want to share a layout that was "scraplifted" from my inspiration journal.  

I recycle my magazines, but before I add them to the recycling pile, I rip out any pages that contain layouts or techniques that really spark my interest; these pages are then cut down and stapled into my inspiration notebook.  

I never scraplift entire pages though (seriously, it's way too stressful for me...I'm the same way with sketches, but we'll save that for another post!).  Usually one or two elements on a page catch my eye, and those elements I will then use as one of my layouts.

For today's layout, I was inspired by a page that contained a column of circles.  In today's video, I walk you through my process:




(You can hear my boys and cats in the background.  I really had to edit this one...my kitten kept jumping in front of the camera!)

Here's a close-up of the row of circles:



And one more time, here's the completed layout:


Do you keep an inspiration notebook?  Or do you pin all your favorite designs on Pinterest?  I actually do both.  ;)

Have a great weekend!  I'll see you next week!
