LESSology Challenge #9: Creative projects of Audrey Pettit and Kirsty Vittetoe! :)

Are you ready to check out the inspiration boards from Audrey Pettit and Kirsty Vittetoe?

Hi everyone, Audrey here, sharing my inspiration board project for our next challenge here at LESSology.

For my inspiration board project, I turned to the colors and theme of one of my favorite new lines, Year.o.graphy by Simple Stories. The mix of neutrals in the line, along with the accents, word strips, and pops of color spark the perfect combo of creativity for me. And with all the great embellishments in the collection pack, this project was quick, easy, and best of all, a ton of fun.

I started with an old framed cork board that was in desperate need of an update.

I liked that the board was already framed, had a hanger and string in the back, and came with push pins. Perfect candidate for a little make-over. First I took the cork board out of the frame, and painted both in neutral tones. I then divided the cork board into quadrants, delineating the sections with a cardstock border sticker and dark brown hemp cord.

I created a layered title focal point for the center of the board using kraft cardstock, alpha stickers, burlap, and embellishments.



And then added accents and titles to each quadrant of my board using alpha stickers and word strips.







The original pushpins were given a face-lift, too. By simply cutting a few elements from the patterned papers and gluing them to the old pins, I now have a completely new, coordinating look.

Happy New Year everyone, it's Kirsty here, sharing with LESSology's first challenge of 2012

* Inspiration Board *

My craft table is always messy, filled with bits and pieces of paper cut out from my project, photos I want to use for my next project, beautiful images I cut out from magazine that provide inspiration, unfinished project or pieces that left behind after I changed my mind. It's 2012, it is time to get organized!!!!

Let's start with a $1 frame from thrift store that I can never resist...

I always love white frame but since my the wall in my craft room is white, I pick a different color this time....

see this "beads garland" that I used to hang my holiday cards on our stairway? we bought something new this year so I trim it up and use it for my inspiration board (I never throw anything away, trust me!)

When I do my project for LESSology, I always look into my box for bits and pieces that were left behind after other projects, look! I just found tons of doily pieces......

now all my photos, magazine cutting, printed vintage images have a place to go.....

I just need my Tall Guy to hang this up right in front of my craft table for me.... : )
