Just a quick post before heading to church

I've been working on my Design Your Life course assignments... This week's lesson is on asymmetry. I'm definitely more of an asymmetry person than symmetry and it was a great lesson on learning how to balance your layouts. Here's my first assignment, which I incorporated one of the Sweet Shoppe Design Portfolio challenges into it... The SSD challenge was to scrap about your favorite hobby... I decided to be a rebel, lol. I used the template provided for the assignment and the papers and elements came from All About Me by ScrapKitchen (all of her kits have some seriously gorgeous papers) the stitching came from Traci Reed's Bad Sewing Machine I've Been Framed and LooptyLoo.

The next assignment I worked on was the Real World Color assignment, and the color scheme was pink, orange and brown... the inspiration was gorgeous and must have been old because I immediately looked at the Crate N Barrel website to find the pillows that she posted and they weren't there, sigh... LOVED them! Anyways, here's the fun little 2 pager layout I did for it, using the templates she provided. I used a kit that is not available in stores it was a freebie collab kit that I received for participating in The Digi Dares' one year anniversary dare. The M&H alpha came from Top Of The World by Libby Weifenbach (just the alpha)and the cursive font came from SSD's quarterly assortment Vol 4 (awesome deal if you want a little bit of everything, includes a mini kit from every designer and for only $4)
