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.

“Meet Red”, by Jennifer Chapin.

I was inspired by this month's Pinterest photo to use the red/green color scheme as well as the pom pom garland. I used a small circle punch to create circles of patterned paper, then adhered these to the top of my layout in a banner fashion. I then used my sewing machine to stitch through them. I used chipboard letters for the title, then some letter stamps as well. The layout was finished off with some journaling and enamel dots.

Supplies:
Make it Merry: Santa Selfie, Fa La La, Treat Exchange, Borders & Bits, Treasures & Text, Little Bits; Enamel Dots: Bell Pepper, McIntosh; Amorie Chipboard Alphas: White, McIntosh

"Elf Antics", by Jennie McGarvey.

I was so excited by the Pinterest image. It's so very Christmas (FUN!) and then I was smitten with the felt ball garland. I wanted to take the circles and translate those into my Christmas themed page. There were so many directions I could go, but I wanted to keep it simple + bright, which would feel like Christmas to me.

Supplies:
Christmas Cheer: Chipboard Icons, Jingle All the Way, Making Spirits Bright, Merry and Bright, Reindeer Games, Treasures & Texts; Enamel DooDads: Ice; Bella Bows: Saltwater
