there's a new inspiration board up at color combos galore. it's called "a bit of americana" and it's the perfect mix of red white and blues. i love how the light blue and gray is included!

the main inspiration for my layout was photo #1 and the framed background. i took more inspiration from photo #1 and decided to create a "patchwork" pattern for my background (inspired by the checkerboard and pieces). i usually place my photo off to the left or right on my layout, but i felt to get the "framed effect" my photo needed to be front and center.

thanks so much for stopping by today! i hope your week is off to a great start!
