A Name Change & Life Lived in Instagram

 **BEFORE GETTING TO TODAY'S POST**:  I just wanted to give a little update, that I have changed the name of my Blog from The Paper Doll, to Ashley Horton Designs.  I will NOT be changing my Blog address, due to links that are connected to this current address, but from now on my Blog will show up as Ashley Horton Designs in your Blog reader.  And of course, I changed the header of my Blog...again!!  :)  This might happen frequently...because, well, I just get bored quickly!! 

Welcome to Friday!!  Since we started Home School at the beginning of August, I am really looking forward to Friday a lot more now!!  :)  And another reason to look forward to Friday, is the new Fabulous Friday challenge at Frosted Designs, each week!!  I think almost everyone will LOVE this challenge, because it is something that a lot of Scrapbookers utilize these days...our challenge this week is, PHONES (Pictures taken with a phone, phone as a theme, etc.)

I usually have my phone in hand at all times and with all of the cool photo Apps out there, it has become my go to for taking photos.  It is just so much easier, since I have it with me, instead of having to remember to charge my camera and lug it with me whenever we go somewhere.  My favorite photo App is Instagram!  I just can't get enough of it!!  :)  So naturally, it was a no brainer for me to create a layout about Instagram, using Instagram photos.




The fun thing about this page, is that these are pretty much just random photos from life.  There is really no specific theme, but I love that it includes various photos that I snapped and loaded to Instagram.  I used a lot of Studio Calico goodies on this one and one of my favorite techniques right now, the negative cuts!  

Make sure you play along with us this week, because we have Oh My Crafts as our Sponsor!!  Link up your layouts or projects by Noon on Thursday, September 13, for your chance to win!

  4. We all need a little change sometimes :)~ your header looks great!! So awesome that you know how to do those things on your own!!

    Fab layout- I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I FAIL at grids, but you've done it so well here! Great variety of photos and all the movement with the arrows is just awesome!

    But as far as Instagram goes...grrrr...drives me nuts, LOL!! Maybe it's because I don't have a cell phone and don't get it- but boy, my FB reel gets loaded with people's Instagram photos of what they're eating every hour of the day or what coffee they're drinking, lol...drives me nuts! Ah, but to each their own, right??

    Take care!!
