Today i finished off a layout i have had on the go for some time. It is a little different and used a technique that i had not tried before.
I got my inspiration from here - mooo where the Silhouette Canvas Art section is. I decided that i could easily (*cough cough*) make my own girls silhouette out of a photo with a bit (*cough cough*) of fiddling in photoshop. Well after many hours in photoshop fiddling, i was pretty happy with the result and i think i can tell it is my kids really quite well. I was scared turning the photo into silhouette would lose their 'personality' but i dont think it did at all!
(i should also add that mooo is a fundraiser for the Cummins Child Parent Centre and if ordering from their amazing site there is some section where you add your fundraising charity and they donate a percentage of sales..........i think that is right - Marika or Kylie please elaborate or correct me!!!!!!)
title is borrowed from here
A couple of years ago i was also inspired by a website design. It was Clair Bremner the Melbourne Childrens photographer (also a fabulous friend). Her website has changed since then but the opening page was set out in a series of little squares and photos. I loved it and it inspired me to create this -

So since i am the only one home tonight i thought i would set everyone a little challenge to see what you can find that inspires you on the www. NOT really talking about sketches or scraplifting here but it may be colours, design, a font or just a series of photos.
Go for a surf and see if you can catch some inspiration.

Lovely pages Amanda ... love those silhouettes !
Yep, all sounds good for the 'moo' fundraiser ... There's some great things to buy !! You just need to write 'Cummins Child Care Parent Centre' and '5631' after your payment details in the checkout section of orders. A mimimum of 15% of sales goes back to the Kindy.
Thanks,
Kylie
LOVE these Amanda
the silhouettes are fantastic!
What a great idea!
I have always loved silhouettes, there used to be a man who did them at the Adelaide Royal Show.. he was fantastic! But he had the person just sit side on and he just snipped away! Unfortunately he passed away recently... Does anyone else remember him??
Stunning layout Amanda ... what an imagination to create a masterpiece!!
Need to think about this challenge!!
A. how do you find all these random www sites. I have always wondered that. They are wonderful.
never heard of MOO or house of 3.
I am sure the other scrappers are wondering the same.
comment please...!!!!
Tiff -
I dont do much looking at scrap stuff on the www - believe it or not. I dont ever visit 2peas or other scrap forums apart from EB.
I suppose i have been a part of an online community of scrappers for almost 5 years now - so get a lot of info from those girls.
I dont really read other people's blogs regularly either but happened one day to see on Kim Ogden's blog about the House of Three website. I thought it looked interesting so saved it to my favs for inspirtion one day.
The mooo thing was advertised in the CPC newsletter as a major fundraiser so i checked it out. Again the designs were so cool i saved the link to my favs.
