We love Pinterest! We have so much fun browsing all the amazing inspiration and pins that can be found there! We also love pinning projects, quotes, and more, so make sure you follow us if you’re on Pinterest!
We asked our team to use the pin above as inspiration for a layout and here’s what two of our design team members came up with!
First up is Toni From:
Toni says: I am completely in love with the inspirational pin. I have a photograph of my studio that I have been waiting for the right creative push to scrapbook, and this pin was perfect! The vibrant circles and subtle patterns just make me happy and excited to experiment. I chose a literal take on the circles, but only used them along the bottom (to help ground the layout) and another slightly-larger circle in one of the words at the top of the layout. This helps the layout flow and brings your eye around the page.
To create the circles I punched one-inch shapes from some of the more neutral Elle’s Studio papers in the Shine, Sycamore Lane, and Cienna collections. I paired the patterned papers with watercolored circles. I then adhered the watercolored half-circles to the patterned paper with adhesive and then stitched over everything.
Once the circles were finished I adhered my large photo to my layout and handout letters from the Shine, Sycamore Lane, and Cienna paper collections. Next, I starting adding some small embellishments in small clusters. I used wood veneer, tidbits, cork, and some enamel dots and puffy stickers from my stash. I love how all of these different textures (along with the machine stitching) play off one another and make the layout interesting.
Thanks so much for looking at my layout today. I know that you will love my fellow DT member Jessy’s take on the inspirational pin.

Next up we have Jessy Christopher:
Jessy says: I absolutely adore the colorful circles in the photo & decided to create a circle cut file for my layout. My circles have a gap in between. That way I can slot the patterned papers to fill in. The colors in Cienna collection went so well with my daughter’s photos. And the cute elements that I placed all around the layout is just perfect.
