Copycat!

Just another copycat. That's me. Sure, I have an original design every now and then. But I find the simplest way to get my creative juices flowing (and to have a page actually get DONE) is to find a page and copy it. Most of the time it's not an exact replicate, but copies some or all of the page elements (like the layout, the colors, the embellishments, etc).



On this one, I just LOVED the layered butterflies. While I didn't have the felt ones like Ali (hard to believe...gonna have to pick some up next time I'm at Archivers), I made what I had work.

My inspiration...from the March 2009 Studio A column of Creating Keepsakes. Note the layered butterflies on one page and the shaped paper accent on the other. Copied a little here, a little there to make it completely my own. Thanks for the inspiration, Ali!
