August Inspired by... Challenge

Our Inspired by... challenge is really about finding inspiration from so many different things, and in choosing what we will post as the next challenges inspiration I always consider all different sources. In light of last weeks sad news of Robin Williams passing I knew finding inspiration from him and all that he was and did was the perfect source. This past week has really shone light on how loved and inspiring he was to so many people. I chose a fun photo of him that has a lot of feeling and fun graphics. I also included one of his many inspiring quotes from him.  You can take inspiration from the elements of the photo itself or find inspiration in something he did or said. Our August guest designer Lucia Barbas was beautifully inspired... 

Hey everyone! Here's my page for the "Inspired by... challenge". I love EVERYTHING about it. The fact that we can remember Robin Williams even like this, the photo of him :), the quote, the black and white collage.

I got inspiration from the overall look of the collage - B&W photo and the quote written in big  capital letters. So I've decided to do the same for my page. I stamped one of my favourite quotes of his (I've used clear stamp set from Amy Buttler) on a piece of paper, cut every word out and glued them on my page. I then machine stitched the words and added a photo I took this past spring when we went for a walk in a forest with my brothers - and added some layering. Pretty simple, yet quite inspiring :)
