Urban Anthology Birthday Ad Challenge

We've been celebrating Urban Anthology's birthday all month over at the Message Board. Complete with lots of inspiration and challenges. :) My Birthday Challenge is to use this ad as inspiration for a layout.



And here is my sample page using the May Kit (brads are from my stash). I kept the two pictures, but interpreted the type underneath as paper strips to anchor the photo-grouping. I did a similar title treatment as the ad, by stamping a frame at the beginning of my title phrase. I also staggered the words in my title, like the ad.

In the lower right corner, I placed a journal tag where the bottle of Robitussin is. And then I added more paper strips to anchor it there (type).





I LOVE using ads as inspiration for pages. I hope you'll come on over and link us up with your creations using this ad!

Have a great weekend!
