Pinspire Me Mood Board

Hey!

Ever tried playing along with a Pinspire Me mood board challenge?

This is the month that you are going to want to give it a try!  

Its based on my boys favorite color and it was my favorite color as child.  

You don't see it often in scrapbooking product but it seems that it has started to make its appearance!  

PURPLE!

Over on our PIFF FB page, you can find all the challenges that come out monthly.  

You can find all the cool products and FREE cut files over in the Paper Issues Store.  This one is called Awesome Memories.  

For this project, I used Pinkfresh Just A Little Lovely.

Cub Scout Color Guard - Paper Issues!

Hey there!

Today I am playing along with the Pinspire Me July Challenge over on our Paper Issues Friends and Fans page.   Below is the image that is provided, hoping that you are inspired to create!  I was inspired because of the stars, and of course because my assignment was on the 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day friends!

For my layout, I used Bella Blvd Fireworks and Freedom.  

I used it for a Color Guard page of my boy when he was a Cub Scout.  

I also made use of the NEW FREE cut file made by Stacie.  It is available in the PI shop!

Everything you need for crafting can be purchased through the 

PI store for 20% off with code: Mary-Ann.  

Happy Shopping.  

Warm Wishes - Paper Issues

Welcome to the first Pinspire Me board of the year over at Paper Issues!  I just loved it!  I 

chose to focus on the light blues, some of the greenery poking out in the snowball photo and whites.  It just turned around from there.  I meshed together, FaLaLaLa, Snow and Cocoa and Merry Days from Crate Paper.  The last 3 years of their Christmas collections.

I also used a FREE cut file called Pines and Needles from the PI Store.  

Go to the January Challenge board on the PIFF Facebook page and check around for ideas, challenges and inspiration.

Beautiful - Paper Issues

Good morning!

I am here today to share a layout using the Pinspire Me Mood board for September
from Paper Issues.  

I designed the board a few months ago and completely forgot about the color pallet.  

Once I saw it again, I was drawn to the purples in the photos.  Sometimes, I am drawn to the actual activity or item in them,  but this time is was color.  Plus the flowers!  Who doesn't love flowers?

Here is what I came up with using Wild at Heart from Cocoa Vanilla.

I also used one of our newer FREE cut files - Beautiful Ovals.  

All of the Paper Issues challenges are an easy way to get inspired.  

Sometimes you need a little push.

I hope you are having fun playing along.  If you haven't started yet, go to the Paper Issues Friends and Fans page for September and see all the different challenges and in the comments you will see how people are playing along.  Its really fun.  

Head on over to the Paper Issues store and download a few or even all of the FREE cut files.

Space - Paper Issues

In 2015, my Parents went with us to Florida.  One of the days, we hit the Kennedy Space Center.  

It was very interesting.  Roman played on all of the activities, 

we touched moon rock and saw lots of rockets.  

When My Mind's Eye produced this Blast Off collection, 

it was perfect for documenting our day at KSC.  The paper is colorful, so I kept my photos flat on the page.  I also stitched through each color of the rainbow for with the coordinating colored thread.

I had also created a Pinspire Me Mood Board for March.  This layout works perfectly for this challenge.  I went off of the Space photo.

Snow - Paper Issues

My favorite time of the month is Pinspire Me Mood Board day on the Paper Issues Blog.  Well, actually, designing the board is my favorite.  I just love how things come together when clicking through ideas on Pinterest.  If you are interested in following me over there, go to PINTEREST.  I have lots of idea boards and fun things to be inspired by.  

But, on the Paper Issues Blog today, a few of the team members came together to share their take on the new January Mood Board.   You too can play along over on the PIFF Facebook page.  Create a new project, upload it to the PIFF page and be entered into a drawing for a prize to the PI store.  

I used Sweater Weather from American Crafts for my project today.  My boys love playing in the snow.  I do too but I would much rather take photos.  This boy here, could stay out all day!  But wants hot cocoa immediately after coming in.  Who doesn't?

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...
