Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Pinterest Inspired

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.

“Autumn”, by Becki Adams.

Sweater season is my favorite time of year. I wear a cardigan almost every single day (I only take them off if it's about 90 degrees). I was inspired by the layers of colors and the buttons. I added layers of patterned paper and a few buttons to this layout titled “Autumn”. This layout documents a few little things about my niece on her first birthday.

Supplies:
Hello Autumn: Falling Into Fall, Gatherings, Perfect Pick, Autumn Floral, Time To Rake, Borders, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Paper Pieces, Chipboard Icons; Designer Tape: Piggy Pink Stripe; Button Market: Burst, Purple

“Afro Circus”, by Kelly Holbrook.

I was inspired by the stacked colors in the photo, and decided that the Scattered Sprinkles collection would be perfect. So, I cut strips making sure to match up the patterns, and sewed them together. I also added several crochet hearts inspired by the texture of the sweaters. I mixed several collections to match up the colors, but mainly used Scattered Sprinkles and the new Tiny Tots collections.

Supplies:
Scattered Sprinkles: McIntosh Sprinkles, Peep Sprinkles, Ice Sprinkles, Pickle Juice Sprinkles, Bell Pepper Sprinkles; Tiny Tots: Flashcards M-X, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Paper Pieces, Chipboard Icons; Christmas Cheer: Paper Pieces, Trinkets; Classic Calendars: Treasures & Text; Daily Chevies: We Are Family Bookplates, Pink Arrows; Crochet Hearts: McIntosh, Cotton Candy, Saltwater, Pickle Juice, Bell Pepper; High Five Alphas: Pink-Red, Piggy-Punch, Green; Designer Tape: Polka-Dot Combo
