Pinterest dt post #114

Do you ever look at something a picture perhaps and think I have the perfect scrapbook paper for that? That's what I immediately thought when I saw the above gorgeous picture. Luckily for me it was the Inspiration pic for this weeks Pinterest design team. Using the adorable giraffe digi from Bugaboo, and the gorgeous sunset background,  this is what I created for this weeks challenge: 
I just love when things inspire you,  what inspires you when your not sure what to craft?

 ThatWhat comes to mind when you see this: 
I think of blue, ocean, water, sailing....that was the challenge for this weeks Pinterest dt. So I went with the oceanic inspiration and the color inspiration and created this: 
Using a digi from bugaboo stamps I created this card that would be perfect for a kids birthday party invite.

Happy birthday to an awesome sister in law!


I am so blessed to have an awesome sister in law who I get along with and who shares my love for scrapbooking, cardmaking and all things crafty! Recently she celebrated a birthday and I was called upon to make some birthday cards. 
The first one is from her husband and their daughter. I made a purse card to celebrate her love of purses, drawing complements of my niece :) 
The second card is from me and my fiancĂ©. I realized after the fact I spelled bonne wrong...I am learning French slowly hence the typo :/ I used a fun digi from the stampin chef. 
As if her birthday wasn't excitement enough, her and her husband celebrated their 3 year marriage anniversary the very next day! So I of course made a card for her husband to give to her on this special occasion. I got the digi from an awesome company called all dressed up :) I also participated in two design teams, which will have their own posts.
So my crafty friends how much do you have to craft before considering it a crafty whirlwind?
