Pinterest Inspired

As Aysha stated in her post on Saturday, "inspiration is all around us." A few days ago I was inspired while looking through quotes pins on Pinterest. I came across one that really made me smile. The quote read "I always buy another book when I still have ten to read." For me this is so true, I'd also just received a book as a birthday present from my daughter. It was a Walter Mosley novel, he's one of my all-time favorite authors. As you can tell from the photo in the layout, I still have three of his books on my summer "To Read" list.

After pinning this cute little quote, I decided that I would do a layout page of my summer reading list. I also searched for more reading quotes to go along with the first one for my layout.

The quotes were not ready to be used "as is" for my page so I did a little editing using the Format Picture tool in MS Word. I changed the background colors, added a texture element and a shadow border to the inside of each one. I also re-sized them before printing and cutting them out. I think they turned out perfect for my page. Now all I have to do is start reading!

I hope you find time this summer for your favorite book or you can always just scrap about it, like me. LOL.
