Inspiration. I don't know about you, but I could use some this summer. ;) We've been busy with house projects to the point that my creative mojo for scrapbooking has flown the coop. In an effort to jump start my artistic side again, I've been searching out fun projects that use the Ormolu products I love. Specifically, I've been drawn to projects that use the Ormolu goodies in unique ways...

First up, I found this fabulous perpetual calendar by Amy Baldwin:

I love how the Ormolu 2-Day Hooray Flair work so well as magnets! (Notice, too, that she mixed in both days of the week and number flair...) So simple, yet obviously perfect!

Next up is this gorgeous layout by Lisa Wilkinson:

In particular, here, I love how she added the stickers to spell out "worthy" to the Line & Letter Swatch! I've actually been passing over that very swatch because I haven't been able to figure out how to use it. Thanks, Lisa!!

Another layout that I love is this one by Lisa Truesdell:

 
The different tapes behind that Negative Number Package Tag are fabulous and I love how the tag's been cut off to be such a seamless part of the title. It's little things like that that will help me make better use of my stash. :)

And, finally (for today), I wanted to share this layout by Wilna Furstenberg: 

I'm now absolutely inspired to dig out my Fact or Fiction Negative Package Tags and add journaling to them just like this! (I'd been hoarding them and thinking I would only use them for titles and hadn't considered being able to add printed journaling.)

Yay! Thanks so much to everyone for the inspiration and keep 'em coming! Remember that you can always upload your photos to our Facebook page and/or tag Ormolu when you upload your projects elsewhere online so we can find you more easily. 

Happy creating!

I just love seeing all of the different projects using the Ormolu lines! Here are a few favorites as of late:

I found this from Valerie Mangan at her blog Paper & Cookies. I love the circle, the stitching, the layering and the use of the Ormolu Negative Number Package Tags. Fantastic.

The next is from the sweet and talented Julie Weis! I love how she tucked one of the Line & Letter Negative Scalloped Tags tucked under the photo. I also love the pastel color scheme!

The next is from BrianaJ, found over at Two Peas. I love how she managed to get all of this on two pages and how clean it still looks! She used pieces from Line & Letter Negative Scalloped Tags, the Line & Letter Fabric Swatches, and the Fact or Fiction Flair. It's a great use of all of those tags.

And last but not least, this lovely layout from Jennifer Langer from back in the fall. She did a great job balancing the Fact or Fiction Flappers, Custom Flair, Negative Number Package Tags, Fact or Fiction Flair and Fact or Fiction Dots n' Spots. I like how she used black and white images along with pieces of color.

Again, we love to see what you all are making with Ormolu products! Don't forget to drop a line to us here at the blog or over at our Facebook page so we can keep in touch!

Happy Wednesday! I'm here with another edition of "Ormolu from you." I have been keeping my eye open for fun projects using Ormolu all over the world wide web! These are some that caught my eye! 

Our first project is, in a word, incredible! This gorgeous layout was created by Michelle Hernandez and features elements from our Line and Letter and Fact or Fiction lines!

The next layout was created by Robyn Schaub. I love how soft and beautiful the layout is!  Here Robyn uses our Line and Letter Fabric Swatches and Negative Scalloped Tags.

I love Jill Spott's artsy approach to scrapbooking. This layout is no exception!  Her fun creation includes the Line and Letter Negative Scalloped Tags and one our Line and Letter Flair Buttons.

Finally, Katherine McElvain used some of our products in her incredible Project Life cover page.  It features the Negative Package Tags from our Go line and a 2-Day Hooray Flair Button.

Thank you to these talented designers for using Ormolu.  Would you like to see your work featured on on blog?  Upload your photos to our Facebook page or be sure to tag ormolu when you upload your projects into other online galleries so we can easily find you!

I've been noticing more and more Ormolu products showing up on pages around the web and in galleries recently.  Now that Ormolu is sold not only directly from the site, but also places such as Two Peas In A Bucket, Stop and Scrap and in various kits it is showing up on some fabulous projects!

So today the creative team is taking a break and we're sharing reader and fan projects that have been shared with us and that have been found in galleries!

First up, Allison Waken shared this beautiful layout with us on our Facebook fan page:

Love how the negative tag is part of the embellishment and part of the title!  It really pops!

 

Next up, Michelle Hernandez knocked it out of the park using several different tags and a flair button for her layout, This is Me:

I love the clustering of she did around her photo!  The textures and colors go so well together!

 

 Amy Coose used her Ormolu goodies with a subtle touch on this sweet layout about her familys' brand new baby:

Vivian Masket created a photo-less layout using not only a cool Silhouette image, but added some great Ormolu embellishments too!

I'm definitely scraplifting this one!!  Great use of the Go Line with this layout subject!

 

Keep those gorgeous Ormolu projects coming!  Feel free to share on the Ormolu fan page.  We love to see them!
