LM #726 - Artiste Inspiration: Jen P. Harris

Hi, and welcome back to the Lasting Memories Challenge blog! It's design team member Lisa, and since I am an art teacher, I really want to use some artwork as inspiration for the month of November.  In August, I visited the University of Iowa Children's Hospital with my daughter and grandson. I was very excited about the artwork that is on display there, so I have chosen 4 artists whose works gave me scrapbooking ideas. Be inspired by the artists' use of color, pattern, icons, and the like. Pull whatever inspires you out and use it in your layout for the week.

LM #726 - be inspired by Jen P. Harris' mixed media work entitled "Parte Incognita."

Here are the artistic layouts from the design team, starting with our guest designer.

November GDT Nelya

Nelya was inspired by the lines radiating out from the center section.

Lisa

I used three diamonds to make hexagons like the artist did. 

Sandy

I was inspired by the hexagon shape and the colours.

Maureen

I took my inspiration from the hexagons.

Cheryl

I was inspired by the color palette and the diamond shapes within the hexagons.

November GDT Nelya

Hi, everyone!

 My name is Nelya, and I’m originally from Ukraine. I’m a mommy of 4, and I love to scrapbook. I mostly got into it after having our first baby. My style has definitely evolved since then! I love to glean inspiration from other crafters; I think that’s how I was able to grow so much. Lately I’ve been loving using up my stash. The satisfaction I get from using up the last sticker on a sticker sheet, or paper from a paper pad is probably greater than I get when shopping for new supplies! I don’t have a space of my own yet, but I hope to in the future. Rarely do I complete a layout from start to finish in one sitting. Sometimes it takes me a few days or more, as often I’m only able to craft for small intervals at a time. I love to join in challenges! I’ve also focused more of my attention on journaling and story telling rather than a photo itself. I love to hear stories from my childhood, and want to make sure my kiddos have that too. I scrap in a variety of sizes: 12x12, 8.5x11, 6x8, and TN - as well as an occasional pocket page in any of those sizes!

My layouts can be found here on Pinterest, as well as here on Scrapbook.com. I’ve also started making YouTube videos of my layouts: Nelya's Youtube.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! We will be back tomorrow with a new theme and a new challenge!
