Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We had a lot of fun celebrating Father's Day. Many years ago while DH and were living in Texas DH and I owned a boat. He has missed having that boat since we sold it. So after church on Sunday we took my sweet husband water skiing and tubing.

I wanted to share a brand new challenge blog with you-Challenge Me Happy. I was thrilled when Annelie asked me to be a part of this team. She has some amazing challenges lined up and I can't wait to share them with you. Here is the first challenge. Create a layout using this amazing photo as inspiration..
Here is the layout I created.

I took inspiration from the photo in several different ways. I was first inspired by the bikes in the photo. They reminded me of these photos I took at a local park. I also took inspiration from the vignette around the inspiration photo. I added a slight vignette to each of my photos. I found instructions on how to do this on this site. http://photography.about.com/od/developingandprinting/ss/psevignette.htm
.My final inspiration came from the bricks on the building. I downloaded some digital brick stamps from this site. http://www.texturemate.com/content/brick-3-brush-pack-photoshop-or-gimp I then created a 12 x 12 image in adobe and stamped the areas I wanted bricks. Finally I used the stamp tool with a blurred edge to erase some of the bricks. I printed it on red cardstock to create my background.

We would love to see your take on this photo and you could win some amazing chipboard from Magistical Memories. Just head over to the Challenge Me Happy blog for all the details and to see all the other designers layouts.
