Wow, the Internet is inundated with all kinds of challenges, inspiration and giveaways! Where to start! Since I'm participating in LOAD this month, that is where I began.
At first when I read today's challenge prompt, I thought Lain was off her rocker. She challenged us to go to Ebay and type in our first name, or a nickname. Once we've done that, we find something on there that we could draw inspiration from and create a layout. What? What could I possible find on Ebay, under my first name, that I could remotely give me any inspiration. It's an auction site. Well.....I was wrong. This was what I found under "Debbie":
Did I get lucky or what! I saw so many possibilities! Here's what I came up with:
Products Used: Patterned Paper: We R Memory Keepers (Tre's Elegant Polished), The Girls' Paperie by Margie (Jubilee), & Crate Paper (Portrait Collection/Bridesmaids) - Kraft Doilies (Maya Road) - Chipboard Butterflies: Studio Calico - Butterfly Sticker: My Mind's Eye (Lime Twist/Happy Go Lucky/Perfect) - Flowers: Prima & Studio G - Bingo Card: Jenni Bowlin Studios - Epoxy Sticker: Little Yellow Bicycle (Fresh Print/Clothesline) - Chipboard Letter Stickers: American Crafts (Thickers/Typo) - Word Strips: Cosmo Cricket (Tiny Text) - Brads: Recollections - Corner Rounder: Creative Memories - Distress Ink: Tim Holtz by Ranger - Adhesives: Duck Adhesives, Glue Dots & Recollections Foam Dots.
Obviously I drew from the flower arch design on the left hand of the inspiration piece. Like I said, there were so many possibilities. This challenge was so fun and I love that I mixed up some old product with new supplies!
Now I'm off to check out some fun challenges before my family's day begins. I'll share soon, and I hope to see what you make!

What a great way to take inspiration & create a fabulous layout. Happy National Scrapbook Day!
