Hi everyone! It's time for our First Ever Mintspirational Monday.::yipee:: Each Monday myself or Keela will be picking out some "Mintspirational" pages from gallery and sharing them with you here and on the blog. We want to highlight those distinctive marks and attention getting ideas that pull your pages together.
Lets beigin with some of those awesome PMP challenge layouts.
Cool Summer Splash
by Mrs. Potts - I really like how she changed the template to make it her own. She added the scalloped border and layered it to give dimension. The use of different kits was the finishing touch. It helps to go through all those other element packs and see what you can pull out and use.

Boy Country
by DownHome - This page is such a standout. The October Rust kit goes perfectly her sweet country photo. I love how she extracted one of her boys arms from the series of pictures. It's that added detail that makes the layout shine.

OH and what about those wonderful TRA pages. Wowee! :cheer:
Me at 25
by goldengirls2 - This page is gorgeous. The red background with the custom wave shapes are a great touch. The red really makes her photo pop and the waves add some movement to the page. The layering and detail work is just perfect.

Measuring Up
by KimJ - Kim's page is so cleverly designed and titled. I just love it! I love all the bits and pieces that all relate and describe little things about herself. Make sure you take the time to really look at this page. It's so fun and well done.

Me, Irene
by Scrappie Irene - Irene's darling black and white photo of her as a baby is wonderfully highlighted when placed on top of Miss Mint's Massive Splat Mat. The mat helped her photo standout even more than it would have if she left it on the busy floral paper. The cluster and the strips on the edges were a great touch.

... and last but not least a few random pages.
Sisters
by AquaRuby - This page really caught my eye. I really like all the white space around the photo. The fall papers and elements are minimal but nicely done. Thats what makes this page so stunning. Less is sometimes more.

First Day of Kindergarten
by krash - This was one of my favorites. Maybe because I just sent my twinners off to kindergartent his year. I just loved how she extracted the main photo and centered it on the page. She also used a Massive Splat Mat to highlight her picture. I like the blended look she created with the mat. A very cool effect. Looks like he had a fun first day.
