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. 

What do you see when you look at the pelican image? What does it inspire you to make?

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 fiancé. 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?

Pinterest design team #108

Today I'm presenting you with the second Pinterest dt entry I'm participating in. For this entry I was presented with this great pic as inspiration: 

Aren't the colors great! Love the vibrant red and greens! This weeks digi stamp is from the fabulous Stamp Art digis, go check them out I found a fabulous digi from them that matched this inspiration pic perfectly! Since I couldn't think of a use for a rainy day card, I made a scrapbook layout. Perfect for capturing my niece playing in the puddles next time it rains :)

Pinterest design team #106

Ive joined another design team. This ones called Pinterest dt and it takes random inspiration pictures from Pinterest gives you a selection of digital stamps and away you create. This first pic is the inspiration pic. The words are part of my favorite children's book, I love you forever. 

I pulled the colors from this pic and the fact that it's mother and her child and so I made a Mother's Day card.

The digi I used is from stamping chef but they had sponsored the Pinterest dt challenge. Love when two design teams combine. I found this challenge a bit challenging as I don't tend to use soft colors often, but it's often fun to push your crafty creativity. What would you create with the inspiration pic?
