It's always been fun to browse thru Pinterest, looking at the endless ideas and inspirational images that are out there. Our designers always enjoy taking whatever image we provide them, and using it in whatever way inspires them the most as they work on their projects. It's amazing to see how many different ideas and designs can be inspired by just one image.

"Imagination", by Leanne Allinson.
This layout was created using plenty of layers and just like the Pinterest image I wanted to have a focal point using the yellow and red colors. The large yellow framed mirror is duplicated on my page behind the photo and the layers of bed linen became the layers of paper below it. The chipboard alpha title also reminds me of the vertical bars on the end of the bed which inspired me with placement and color. A final detail includes the fussy cut flowers to replicate the plates on the wall. I love that an image can inspire creativity not just with color but also with detail!
Supplies:
Play Date: Today is Beautiful, Daily Details; Christmas Countdown: Christmas; Snapshots: Alpha+Bits; Kiss Me: Mustache Love; Finally Fall: At the Patch; Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Banana; Sienna Chipboard Alpha: Pony; High Five Alpha Stickers: Pink-Red; Plastino: Label Additions; Designer Tape: 12mm combo
“Freezing For A Photo”, by Wendy Sue Anderson.
I loved the Pinterest inspiration piece I was assigned for this layout! I loved the color scheme, though it didn't really match any of the Bella collections; I didn't let that stop me - I actually had a great time going through each Bella collection, looking for fun pieces to mix and match...and then I found a fun photo with all of the colors too - I just love it when that happens! As I started planning the design of my layout I was inspired by the design of the inspiration piece - the large mirror flanked with the plates - so I took that and translated it to the large block in the center of my layout, and circles on either side of the block.
Supplies:
Christmas Countdown: Christmas, Alpha+Bits; Sand & Surf: GPS, Borders; Thankful: Our Spot, Alpha+Bits, Love and Marriage: Cute Cuts, Smokeys in Love, Alpha+Bits; Engaged At Last: Bachelor Party; Snapshots: Daily Details; Ciao Chip: Engagement Icons, Sophisticates, All American; Crochet Hearts: Bell Pepper; Button Market: Snowflakes; Designer Tape: Yellow Chevron, Pony Stripe; High Five Alpha Stickers: Brown-Cream
“Live & Laugh” card, by Ashley Marcu.
Sometimes inspiration comes from an unexpected element of the picture. For this card, the mirror caught my eye. I used the shape and color to create the center focal image of my card.
Supplies:
Snapshots: Free Time, Daily Details, Tabs; Daily Chevies: Chevy Bell Pepper, Arrows Gulf, Arrows Pickle Juice
“This Is Awesome” card, by Ashley Marcu.
This next card was inspired by the mirror again but in a completely different way. I loved how it stood out as a focal point in the picture but that it was placed in the upper left hand corner of the picture. I created my own focal point using several layers of paper pieces, a sticker and tape and place it in the top left corner, just like the photograph.
Supplies:
Snapshots: Paper Pieces, Captions; Daily Chevies: Chevy Bell Pepper, Chevy Oreo; Designer Tape: Gulf Dot, Green Chevron, Yellow Chevron
Great Inspiration today ladies!
