Looking for a little PINspiration?

Hey everyone!  Roree here, and today I want to share a layout I created for Pink Paislee that was inspired by a pin I found on Pinterest.

I love, love, love Pinterest.  It is my go-to place for inspiration.  No matter what I am looking for inspiration for:  scrapbooking, crafts, food, fashion, etc, etc… I can find it there. I went looking through my Pinterest boards specifically for today’s project and while I was there, I found this pin:

(image from Pinterest)

I just love all of the button images, in all shapes and sizes, mixed with the stitched images.  I just yelled out “Pick Me!”

Here is the layout I created using this image for inspiration:

I decided to use the new Prairie Hill collection for my project the Chipboard Pops package was filled with chipboard circle that reminded me of buttons.  But instead of just using circles, I mixed it up a bit and added Element Stickers, Accolade Stickers, Buttons, Expressions Wood Shop Alphas, Bitty Blocks Alphas, Ribbon, and hand stitching.  It made for a fun collage of scrappy goodness!

And since the layout uses Prairie Hill and it is about myself,  the fun messages like “You Deserve It” and “The Sky’s The Limit” are just added inspiration for myself.
 

So, did you find any inspiration in today’s post?  If so, head on over to Pinterest  to find some more.  You won’t be sorry that you did. 

Hope you all have a great day.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

October Afternoon Sketch

Hey everyone!  I am coming by today to share a sketch I created for October Afternoon's Thursday sketch (which was originally posted last Thursday.)

I have been having a lot of fun creating sketches lately, and I hope you all will enjoy this one too.

In form with past couple of sketches I created, I kept with an 8.5 x 11" layout or a 4.25 x 5.5" card shape. 

I decided to create a card for this sketch, and here it is:

I created a row of embellishments with buttons, chipboard, and die-cuts.

And because I decide to go with a party/birthday theme, I added some baker's twine to the chipboard balloon to intertwine with the sentiment.  I thought it would be a fun little element on the card.

Amy Heller played along with my sketch this week, and you can see her beautiful card HERE.  

If you get a chance to play along with this week's sketch, don't forget to post it in the OA Flickr group.  We love to see what you all are creating with OA products!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great night!

NEW Pink Paislee **Photo Heavy Post**

Hey everyone!  I am finally getting a chance to post on my blog.  I have had a crazy busy week, and I am finally slowing down a bit.  I've been wanting to come by to share the projects that I made for Pink Paislee using their gorgeous new collections.  My assignments for CHA were to create a 9 x 12" collage for each of the collections. 

First off is London Market:

 This is such a soft and sweet collection.  Gorgeous papers, gorgeous embellishments, gorgeous everything!

Next up is Spring Jubilee:

I am so loving the beautiful colors in this collection.  And the tags are one of my favorite new embellishments.

Next is Prairie Hill:

 This collection has wonderful colors and patterns, and I am totally loving the clouds, suns, and kites!

And last but not least, Indigo Bleu:

I am lov-lov-lovin' the yellow and blues in this collection.  And the denim brads and wood buttons are my absolute favorites!

And don't forget to check out the new She Art collection too.  Can't wait to try this one out!

Hope you all enjoyed today's post.  I will try and get back soon to share some more.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

NEW October Afternoon

Hey all!  I'm stopping by to share some projects I made with the new October Afternoon collections, 9 to 5 and Cakewalk.  They are GORGEOUS!!!!!

I mostly got to work with the new 9 to 5 collection, so I will start with those projects first.

First off, I want to say that I have heard a little chatter about the theme of this collection.  Some people are a little unsure about it because they think it is a little too work-themed.  Let me tell you... it is a very versatile collection and can be used for so much more.

I created this layout about my kids getting a kitten over the past summer. 

I am so absolutely crazy about the blues and oranges in this collection.  (Those are my school colors.  WAR EAGLE!!!!  All you Auburn and Alabama fans will now what I am talking about.  ;) )

Next up is a little tag I made. 

I just love this quote that was on the word sticker sheet. 

Next up, a card:

Isn't the wood grain patterned paper to die for?!  The gorgeous colors in this collection just 'pop' against it.

Next up is Cakewalk.

This collection is so soft and sweet, and the images are cute as can be!  And I am just so totally in love with the banner patterned paper in this collection.  You can see I went a little banner crazy on the layout I created with it here:

 

Make sure to check out the OA blog HERE to see all of the gorgeous projects the DT created using these two collections, along with the third release, Woodland Park.

 
I didn't get a chance to work with this collection yet, and I can't wait! 

Hope you all have a wonderful evening.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

NEW Pink Paislee

Hey everyone!  Did you know that Pink Paislee has been showing peeks of their new collections all week long?!  They have some AWESOME new collections coming out this release, and I got a chance to play with four of them.  ;)  My assignments were four 9 x 12" collages for the booth.  So basically I made 36 individual 3 x 4" tags.  Whew!  (It was lots of work, but so fun!)  I can show you some peeks of my projects for two of the lines:  Indigo Bleu and Prairie Hill. 

Here are a couple of sneaks from Indigo Bleu:

I just love the yellows and blues in this collection.  There are some many fun embellishments with it too (like tags, border stickers, mini letter stickers, die-cuts, denim brads and wood buttons, just to name a few.  ;) )  Can't get enough of it all!

Next are some sneaks of my Prairie Hill project:

I am crazy for the prints and patterns in this collection, along with the clouds, suns, and kites.  (This line is right up my alley!)

Make sure to take a closer look at each of the collections on the Pink Paislee blog:  She Art, Spring Jubilee, London Market, Indigo Bleu, and Prairie Hill.  And don't forget to comment on each post for a chance to win the collections.

Hope you all have a great weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
