Sometimes I get into a designing rut. When things are at their worst, I know just where to turn for inspiration – the pages of my albums! Sometimes I just browse through my books and think about how I can update older layouts to my current style. Other times I just lift them as is, but with different colors and maybe a twist. It’s an easy way to find inspiration and who better to know what you like than you?
I decided to lift my layout from earlier in the week. You might remember this celebrate layout that kicked off the Round Robin challenge. I had this duck photo to scrap from our Florida vacation and decided to convert it to black and white so if would fit with the colors in the Lil’ Buddy line. As you can see I pretty much lifted the design as is. The layouts will sit in my son’s 2009 album but will be a few months apart. No one will be any the wiser that I used an older design!

Lynn Ghahary took an older layout and refreshed it. I love how she turned it into a multi-photo layout and tilted the photos for a different look!
