Happy Friday! We are so glad you stopped by today, it's 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!

Tonya says:I was immediately attracted to all of the triangles on Brenda's layout. Loved that they were all created from different pieces of patterned paper.
For my layout I opted to use those triangles to create flowers. Instead of outlining some of the triangles I chose to stitch between all of my petals.
Thanks for the inspiration, Brenda!

I’m so excited to share my first Pinspiration project as an MME Design Team member! I love checking out the internet for inspiring projects and using them to come up with my own creations. I searched the MME Pinterest Boards and Suzanna’s layout jumped out at me. I just love the design and the way she incorporated so many patterned papers together. I decided to create a Christmas layout based on Suzanna’s design.
I really loved that she created a few banner shapes underneath her photo. I cut the largest one from patterned paper and used some of the chipboard elements to layer on top of it. I added a button sticker from the Sticker Accessory sheet to jazz it up a bit.
I also went with a circle element on the top right of the photo, just like Suzanna. This adorable chipboard piece was perfect! I added one of the Decorative Brads as well.
I love Suzanna’s chipboard banner at the top of her page! I went with some of the paper banner pieces from the Decorative Brads package.
I really loved how my project turned out! A huge thank you to Suzanna for inspiring me and for allowing me to showcase her gorgeous layout!
