Inspired by The Great Gatsby

This week our Glitz Design challenge was to find inspiration from "The Great Gatsby". My girls and I love trying out vintage hairstyles, so I started by searching Pinterest for style inspiration. After imitating the flapper hairstyle and look we shot a few photos. The feathers, lace and bling from the era's style were a great jumping off point for my project. I finished off the layout by adding a quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" to the photo of my daughter.

Who says Halloween supplies have to be confined to use one day a year? Pulling out the neutrals from the Glitz Designs "Raven" line and pairing them with neutral embellishments from Prima you have a palette that works for any season. The resin feather and triangles subtly bring in a couple of current trends.
