NSD 2014 "Don't Forget Live"

 I had a very productive National Scrapbooking Day 2014.

So many hops, challenges and inspiration for this paper loving community and I tried to soak it all in and create as much as I could.  In total I got five pages done that day which is a big whoop for me since my average is like one layout every two months.

I want to start sharing them all so be prepared.

This first one was inspired by the amazing Celine Navarro and a super cool moodboard Challenge she had over on the Two Peas in a Bucket site.

(You can see it here)

Here's my layout with a little reminder for myself.

 I drew mostly from the colors and patterns in the moodboard to create this layout.

The base is colored with gelatos and then stenciled over with black embossing paste.  Then I laid a piece of dot velum over the top.  I LOVED the looked and didn't want to cover it all up with stuff so I just added a simple layered focal point.

 Two perfect messages as a reminder to myself.  Life is kinda of going in a different flow right now and this is a nice reminder to myself not to get caught up in all of that "stuff" and just live!

 More to come!

If you made a layout for NSD 2014 I would love to see.  Leave me a link in the comments.

Have a great weekend!
