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.

“Find A Reason To Smile”, by Wendy Sue Anderson.
What a fun inspiration piece! I was inspired by the colors and circles to make my layout. Here’s a fun tip for those of you who are moms of BOYS and would like to add more pink to your layouts. Anytime you see anything pink – take a photo of your boys with it. Buy them cotton candy, take them to Disneyland (you can find lots of fun, bright colorful places for pictures there), or even give them a pack of hubba-bubba and tell them to blow a big bubble for the camera! See, adding pink to boy pages is easy!

"Favorite Shows", by Laura Vegas.
I was completely inspired by this fun image for my layout. From the colors, to the circles, to the design of the hanging circles all clustered together. I dug into my Bella patterned papers to find patterns in pinks, aqua, and tan and then cut a wide variety of different sized circles to fill up the page. I machine stitched around each circle before adhereing them in a pleasing cluster. At some point, I decided to make this a non-photo layout. Devoting this page to my favorite TV shows worked perfectly, as I was able to contain each of my favorite channel's shows in their own circles.

“Perfect Day” card, by Ashley Marcu.
I just had to make a fun circle card based off of the circle decor in the picture. I cut several circles from the Scattered Sprinkles collection and layered them in a random pattern. I love using the calendars for my backgrounds and the quote bubble sticker provided the perfect sentiment!
