Ooh... this is a tough one! Can't wait to try my hand at it. I'll be back!
ETA: Still working on my layout. I MUST be sick-- I fell asleep while scrapping! Yikes.



Here is the site I was inspired by: http://www.awwwards.com/web-design-awards/globule-bleu
I loved the hexagon shape and the yellow background; when I went looking for hexagons and yellow in my stash, I fell in love with this kit all over again (Dream Big by Traci), and then ended up getting some silly photos Zach and I took in December.

I love this challenge! So many websites to choose from, and you can interpret the inspiration however you like.

I was inspired by this image. I created a layout that includes artifacts like that in the advert, as well as a muted colour palette similar to the inspiration piece.

My kids were really sick on Christmas Day and so this is them opening their presents on Boxing Day. I still want to do a storyboard/project life style layout of our Christmas, and how we spent it on the couch watching Peppa Pig. So I wasn't really expecting to do a layout like this until I saw this weeks challenge and found the following site to base my challenge on. http://www.awwwards.com/web-design-a...holiday-select

I loved the idea of using the filter gallery in photo shop to get a sketched effect and doing something a bit different for a christmas layout.

The kits I used were:

Once Upon a Time by Juilianna Kneipp
A Christmas Dream by Iliella
Life Stories Christmas by Zoe Pearn and Kristin Cronin Barrow.

Hiya! This is my first SSD challenge... I discovered digi about 6 months ago and have always loved SSD products but have been intimidated by so many challenges before. I guess you could say I'm a fan of the new challenge system, so glad I checked it out!

I was inspired by this site's design. I pretty much just got excited when I saw the single solitary hexagon, and ran with that.
