When we were in Spain I found myself constantly photographing street art. Murals, door art, graffiti. My camera was FULL when we came home.
One of my favorite images was this door. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to emulate it on a scrapbook page.
Today I finally had a chance to play around with the GORGEOUS Gossamer Blue August Kits and Add-Ons.
I found these BasicGrey wood shapes in the August Main Add-On Kit and knew the triangle was perfect to use as a template.
I chose seven double sided papers and got to work tracing triangles.
When I cut them out and assembled them (using the photo above for guidance) here’s what I came up with.
A sprinking of embellishments here and there, a doily, and a cluster or two…and voila!
I’m so happy that I finally got that idea out of my head and onto paper. And that officially wins the weirdest way I’ve ever been inspired to create a scrapbook page. A door in Spain.
How about you? What’s the most random inspiration you’ve ever found?
Ciao y’all!

Let’s see, you just combined a quilt pattern and a scrapbook page…this may have to be my favorite layout EVER. You are awesome!
That’s awesome. Love it!
That’s awesome Steph!! Love it!! Great idea!! I’m using Pinterest a lot these days for inspiration. Can always find something on there that ‘speaks to me’. LOL
Seriously artsy! I tried to create a feel of India for a scrapbook page with pictures filled with WWII images my father took while serving in the China-Indian theater of the war. It was really hard to take those rather unique images and evoke them in design on paper. But I love using this concept whenever I can.
Absolutely love this! I’ve always liked these hearts made from triangles but never thought of making it into a layout. Great idea!
Great layout! I was inspired by a cargo ship once. I loved the bright turquoise & clean white of the ship. The logo was in orange – I can’t remember the name of the ship,but I couldn’t wait to get home & scrap.
Gorgeous page! My sister has a serious shoe collection and several pairs have been the source of inspiration behind the cards that I make!
Lovely!
I remember a brilliant t-shirt advertising Guinness that I saw some chap wearing in the street. I stared quite a lot – it was black with circles of picture and text. Very striking. I managed to refrain from photographing him! Your layout is lovely, and the picture is wonderful, worthy of such a good page. CJ xx
It’s beautiful! Inspiration is everywhere if you look!
Every bit of this = love.
P.S. Don’t you dare stop scrapping. Ever.
