Pinspiration Friday!

 

TGIF!

It's time for another edition of Pinspiration Friday!

Every day, we scour the Internet for inspiring MME projects. We find your work on your blogs, through our FB page,and in online galleries. We pin the ones that inspire us most!

Then once a month we challenge our designers to use one of your creations as inspiration for a layout or card.

This month Danni and Jana are joining us. Here's what they came up with. Enjoy and have a lovely, creative day!

 

Inspiration Piece:Laura Craigie

 

Danni's version:

Supplies: Find Your Wings and Fly-Up and Away:Scrapbooking Kit, Decorative brads, Enamel Dots, Stamps and Layered Stickers;Misc: machine stitching, Bazzill cardstock 

Danni says:  When perusing the board this month, I came to this incredible card by Laura Craigie.  I absolutely love her card with it's strips of patterned papers, enamel dots and amazing stitching.  I was inspired to create a card with strips, fun stitching and of course enamel dots.

Isn't it beautiful, soft and "sweet"?  I just love how the stitching adds so much to her card.I wanted to use her creative stitching to enhance elements in the new Find Your Wings and Fly Up and Away line.  I love how soft and beautiful this line is.

I wanted to keep the three button element as an embellie and thought the decorative brads would look beautiful layered here.  I also chose to stitch the "tickets" on the paper to add softness to the paper as Laura had done in her card.  Laura created a beautiful sentiment on her card using word stickers, in a beautiful font, and I considered creating a similar one, but this layered sticker in the line is one of my favorites and I had to use it.  She also added a stamped floral image and to keep with the stamping on my card added the "top priority" stamp from this line also.

I love Pinspiration Fridays! It's so much fun to look through the inspiration on the My Mind's Eye Inspiring Pages and Cards Board (and find a new style to "try on" for a day. This month I chose this amazing page by Jodi Wilton.

I loved the way Jodi placed her photos and elements inside squares and then highlighted the main photo with the dovetailed strips of paper. I also love that this is a design that I could replicate using a 6 x 6 paper pad. Here is my take on Jodi's layout using the Find Your Wings and Fly "Up and Away" collection..

 

I love clustering pennants together lately and added a few to the top of the page here:

 

I followed Jodi's lead  and embellished the squares on my page in a similar fashion. I love all the different levels these little bits add.

 

On the bottom of the page I layered two paper strips together along with a label handcut from one of the 6 x 6 papers.
