My creativity has been stalled for the last week because I had a really hard time getting going with this layout featuring photos of my kids singing and dancing at our church's Cave Quest VBS. I actually started scrapping it using totally different papers, but they didn't really seem to be working, so I headed off on a new track this morning. The design on a green watercolor paper from Vicki Boutin really reminded me of stalactites, so I decided to use this as my base and build around it using a sketch from Rochelle Spears. I got lots of fun inspiration from various challenges; for example, I added a strip of striped washi tape that ended up reminding me of a piano keyboard, perfect for the music theme of the layout!
