I had mentioned a few weeks ago that some of the papers from my Love Notes collection with We R Memory Keepers were going to be featured in Clique Kits March kit titled J'ADORE. They sent me the kit and I created a few scrapbook pages with it -- this being one of them. (Another one can be seen here.)
This layout is busy. It most probably has too much going on, but I had so much fun putting this page together that I don't really care. I love memory keeping about something I'm in the middle of accomplishing. Right now, I'm trying to get back in shape and it's been hard, but exactly what I need in my life right now, and I'm getting stronger and seeing results and "no, I'm not going to miss the gym because it's a Friday night", and you know I'm back at it first thing Saturday morning, and did I mention the trainer is cute? ;)
Yeah, all that is wrapped up in this page. As busy as it is (breaking most design principals) it represents how gloriously busy my gym makes me each week, and my intense focus at the task at hand whether it be suspended rows, the medicine ball, battle ropes, or dumbbells.
In talking supplies: I used my 'Secret Crush' paper as a base and layered my bold black & white painty stripe paper 'Wild Love' on top of it. My 'Tulip' paper on top of that, and a trimmed neon transparency paper from We R's Clearly Bold collection. All these came in the J'ADORE kit. The flair, the sexy black doily, the 1234 alphas, and the 'Right Now' and 'HARD' words were all from the kit as well. I typed my tiny title 'gym time / back in shape' on my typewriter along with some phrases I adhered to the bottom of the page. I used a bright yellow highlighter over the title to make it stand out a bit.
