Spiraling Away

Hello all ya’ll creative minds!

I am in awe at the beauty of the season, as the leaves dance in the wind and gracefully spiral to the ground, creating a mesmerizing reflection of Fall Days.  This month’s layering challenge we are going to layer with yes, you got it, Spirals.   I invite you to explore the theme of spirals as the foundation for your layout, whether you choose spiral notebook papers,  bound books or utilize Katie’s exquisite spiral pages  the possibilities are endless.

So, gather your materials, let your imagination spiral into a layering adventure.

  • Start by  choosing  a spiral element for your project. This will serves as the foundation for your design.
  • Next, begin layering, you can go as simple or as elaborate as you would like.
  • Fun elements to include with your spiral pages, include, Brads, clips, journal cards, notebook paper,  date tags, ribbon, etc.
  • Don’t be afraid to experiment with a variety of elements.

Once again,  our creative team has not disappointed and provided some extraordinary  inspiration.  Katie has provided a freebie pack for this challenge.

Guest Creative Team Member, Lori Ann (Imaggs) Lori Ann has truly outdone herself with the breathtaking layout she created. With an artist’s eye and a keen sense of design, she seamlessly blended her notebook paper into the background, creating a harmonious foundation that draws the viewer in. The soft textures and subtle patterns of the notebook paper add a layer of depth and intrigue, setting the stage for the vibrant elements that follow.  The addition of the journal tags, and beautiful frames injects a delightful touch into the layout.

Supplies used in this layout: Bound Notebook Blends 01, Ghoulish Ghosts Brushes and Stamps 02, Readymade Layers: Neutral Borders 05, Sacked Solids Paper Pack 02

Inspired by the timeless charm of a classic journal, I (myssp) crafted my layout as though you were flipping through the pages of a book.  Using the  Build Your Own Book as my foundation, I then chose to add one of Katie’s spiral notebooks as my next layer.  To enhance the journal-like aesthetic, I  incorporated various pieces of hardware, frames, ribbon inviting the viewer to explore the depths, much like one would with a cherished book.
