I Blinked

Today I have another Inspiration Elevator post for you.

You may recall from last month's challenge that the purpose of this challenge group was to take
our scrapbooking to the next level, to stretch our creative process and to grow as artists by embracing challenges that make us think, work and grow. 

This

month our challenger was the very talented Lisa Moen.  Lisa, like most of us, doesn't always take the "perfect" photos. In fact, sometimes, the imperfect is all you have to tell your story. This month Lisa challenged us to use those imperfect photos to tell an story. Here's what she had to say about her challenge:

"I was digging through some old 1980's photos the other day and
realized how bad some of the pictures were. Cameras have come a LONG way
since then!




I have lots of pictures I haven't scrapped because they were/are poor
quality pictures and I am sure you have pictures like that too. So
let's dig out those blurry, bad pictures and tell the story behind them!  So my challenge to you this month is to use a bad photo and journal about it."

For my layout, I love this photo I have of my girls but was so disappointed that it was kind of blurry.  I changed it to Black and White and fiddled a bit in Photoshop and now it is hard to tell that it is a blurry one.  I used the Hoopla digi kit by Glitz, available at Jessica Sprague.  I journaled right on the photo and then printed it up large as I wanted it to take center stage.  I then kept the layout fuss free for a CAS layout focusing on my photo.

 I hope you will stop by and see what the designers on this adventure have created:
