6th Grade - Paper Issues

Good morning!  It is Pinspire Me Mood Board time over at Paper Issues.  Each month, I create a mood board off of fun photos and inspiration that I see on Pinterest.  I create a board for the team and our friends as a challenge.  Anyone can play along.  Create something from the board and upload it to the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook page, under Pinspire Me for a chance to win a prize to the PI store.  

I used Crate Paper Cool Kid for my layout.  I love the colors, the stripes from the crayons and lockers and obviously the theme.  Because there was no purple in the collection, I brought in a straw and old buttons to tie in the color.  Grab this collection or anything else you may want from the PI store for 20% off when you use code: Mary-Ann.

Here is the board...

Brave - A Flair for Buttons

Here is my boy pitching for the first time last season.  His first few pitches were great!  

He has a great arm, just needs help with precision.  This year he is thinking about football.  

Sigh.  I just don't know if I can handle that. 

So, I was low on both Bella Blvd Alex and Crate Paper Cool Kid.  

I combined them both to create this layout.  

I also used four different sets of flair from A Flair for Buttons on this project.  

They all blend together perfectly.  

You can see where you can get this flair over on the A Flair for Buttons blog today!

Then head to the A Flair for Buttons ETSY shop!

Lunch Date - A Flair for Buttons

Anytime, anywhere, you can convince my boy and I to go on a lunch date.  You mention Cracker Barrel and we are there!!!  Ever since my boy was little, we would carefully remove the paper piece that wraps the silverware.  Then make it into a circle and use it for binos.  Simple, free entertainment.  He also still likes to blow the straw wrapper which drives me insane.  Why?  Because it is always shot at me.  I am always opposite him and his dad.  Anyway, these photos are from our date a few months ago, still creating binos with paper rings.  

So, today I am on the A Flair for Buttons Blog.  I love the flair I chose.  You can find all of Shelly's flair HERE in her ETSY Store.  I used Crate Paper Cool Kid that can be purchased at Paper Issues for 20% when you use code: Mary-Ann.

Selfie of a Selfie of a Selfie - AFB

Yup, you read that right!  The photo on my layout is a selfie of a selfie of a selfie, I think.  I kinda get lost with all of the photos in the photo!  The boys were trying on tuxedos for the USMC ball and I caught him in the act!  My layout is on the A Flair for Buttons  blog today.                    Hope you will head over.  

For my project, I used the new Cool Kid collection from Crate Paper and Photo Bombed/Selfie Flair & Instalove 3 Flair from the ETSY shop.

Awesome - Paper Issues

How about a bit of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing a little.  School has started and I am hoping to get back to my routine.  A mood board is just what I need!

I have designed a new mood board on the Paper Issues Blog today.  Several of the team members joined me in creating off of this September Pinspire Me Mood Board.  Hope you will go check it all out HERE.  

I used Crate Paper's Cool Kid for my layout.  Last year, I volunteered at the school to help the teachers.  This gave me the chance to check on my boys desk and to leave a little love note.  Which he told me not to do again, by the way.
