    Hello all!!! I’m enjoying the last days of summer and excited about hosting this challenge.

    How many times does our inspiration come from everyday life? While waiting for my husband at the doctor’s office I read the Country Living Magazine and was impressed by its wonderful table of contents.

    How does this medium inspire you
    ? Is it the stunning photos, the list feature, the simple dashed grid, or perhaps it’s those little numbers that get your creative juices flowing? Let’s see how this table of contents inspires you.

    Here is my take on this challenge.

    I, too, was inspired by the look of the table of contents to create my page.

    I'm waiving the white flag!! I really love the diamond shape, but I'm have trouble finding stitched diamonds, do you know of a kit that has one?

    @bbymks5 for my grid I just used a chunk of a dashed page border and copied it over and over making a grid horizontally and vertically. Then I linked it all together and shifted it 45 degrees. Next, I cut off the extra lines outside the intended shape and added lines where needed. It was not very efficient but I finally got there! Clear as mud? Good luck.
