Monday Challenge--Inspiration from sewing projects

Good morning, Danni here with today's Monday challenge.  I find lots of inspiration for cards and layouts alike, in a lot of sewing projects.  Sometimes it's the colors in the projects that inspire me, sometimes the stitching or design and sometimes it's the focal.  

 

Today's challenge is to create a layout, card or tags that are inspired by the inspiration below

 

source: Bird Pillow

 

Here's the story card by Danni

I was inspired by the overall pillow design and the stitched birds against the white.  I was really excited to find these cute circles and journaling pieces in the Cakewalk Tidbits and Doodads, they are perfect to embellish cards and layouts alike.

 

 

And joining me today is Jill with her amazing layout inspired by the pillow

 

Our music layout by jill

 

Here's what Jill had to say:

Danni's challenge not only inspired me to go crazy with color, but it also pushed me to create a two-pager, something I haven't done in a long time!

When I first saw the inspiration piece for this challenge, the vibrant colors stood out to me immediately. The idea of repeating the same shape in different colors prompted me to create a layout featuring die-cut cassette tapes repeated multiple times on the page.

 

 

 

The cassette tapes that come in the Cakewalk Doo-Dads keep company with a few that I cut out using a die-cut machine and pieced together using various patterned papers from the Cakewalk line. On the opposite page, I wrote about my family's musical tastes, topping the journaling blocks with index tabs from the Cakewalk Tidbits.

 

 

Amazing right?  I absolutely love this layout!!

 

I hope you enjoyed today's sewing inspiration.  If you get a chance to create for the challenge, don't forget to post your project in the OA Flickr group. We can't wait to see your interpretation.

 

Thanks for visiting us.

Happy Creating♥

Danni & Jill
