If you're up for another challenge, you're in for a fun one! Papertrey Ink announced today their very own Pinterest boards were you can find all of the projects from design team members in one beautiful place. To go along with that Nichole has challenged you to pick a photo from Pinterest and create your own project inspired by it. Link your project back to Nichole's blog HERE and FIVE lucky winners will get to choose FIVE free stamp sets of their choosing.
At the top of my post you can see the sweet photo I used for my inspiration. I was immediately drawn to the soft, cozy texture of the felt garland, and secondly, the lovely colors used. I created a card with layers of felt flowers stitched together and stacked felt buttons arranged from top to bottom mimicking the garland.
What did we ever do without Pinterest! It is my go to place when I need an instant dose of inspiration, when I'm feeling stuck...it has the power to un-stick me in a hurry, and I love seeing so much beauty in one location. It's my happy place!
Thanks so much for visiting. Have fun creating!

Love the work in all of these today! What machine are you using with the dies to cut your felt? And do you use pads or adapters?
Thank you for sharing!

It's darling, Melis, and the colors are so cheery and spring-like! I'm just getting going on Pinterest. I've resisted because I DO NOT have time for it but as you say, it's a good jolt of inspiration! See you there!
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your loved ones, too! xo

Just like the previous felt flower; breathtaking. I can look at Pinterest for hours but I will never ever be able to create something the way you do. This is so lovely to look at and dream a bit :)

Pretty! That's the first word that came in my mind the moment I saw the card. I love the design. The colors and the felt of the card. Great design!
