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.

"100 Wishes", by Heather Leopard.
The feathers in the Pinterest Inspiration piece were a key component to today's feature. I focused in on how they were layered over each other as well as the stitching. I decided to embrace the dominance of the feathers and make them a core element on my layout, second only to the actual photograph! I simply cut a dozen small feathers out of various pattern papers, layered them in different directions overlapping each other and stitched them across the page. I added the photo and its layers of coordinating pattern paper, a title and several embellishments to complete the page. I love the background paper for many reasons but especially the wonky lines which were great for journaling.

“Sweet Summertime”, by Kat Benjamin.
This inspiration piece was so much fun to work with. I really loved the color combo and thought that it was a great opportunity to use the new Fresh market collection. I also loved the little patterns in the inspiration piece - all the dots and stripes spoke to me, so I tried to incorporate those fun little patterns into my layout as well.

“Forever Friends” card, by Corri Garza.
I was inspired by color combination on the Pinterest photo. I used paper from the new Fresh Market Collection and added a little yellow from Color Chaos. It trimmed two squares from the Fruitful sheet to create my card's focal point and matted those with black card stock. I love how the soft color pop against the black.
