Pin Spin

 

 

Are any of you Pinterest addicts like we are? If so we would love to show you how to take something inspiring from your "Pins" and use it to inspire your crafting hobby!

 

And please follow us (Prima Marketing) on Pinterest! We would love to connect with you.

We asked three of our design team members to spin one of their favorite pins into a fresh Prima project. Here is what our three talented gals came up with!

Photo Gift Bags

by Gerry van Gent

"My Pin Spin is a photo with gifts. What inspired me was the photo on each gift. I think it`s so clever instead of writing to whom it belongs just to attach a photo on the present. " ~ Gerry

Pinterest photo below:

"And this is what inspired me to create these three wood gift bags for my family."

"I know these are not traditional Christmas colours but this is how I see Christmas - happy, colourful and cozy."  :-)

"I can`t wait to put these three gift boxes under our Christmas tree!"

"FYI - the biggest bag is approx. 6.5" x 7" and the smallest  approx. 4.5" x 6"."  ~ Gerry

What a fabulous idea, Gerry! And that is what pinterest is all about...to give us a jumping off point. Just leave it up to the scrapbookers to take things to the next level!

Feathered Art Journaling

by Magda Bolinska

Sometimes just looking at one photo can be enough for a whole page or two of inspiration! Magda saw this pin of a feather banner and came up with a wonderful idea for her art journal.

 

Magda's pin can be found here:

The feathers reminded her of a photo of her daughter swinging and flying high!

Magda made her own paper feathers to include on the page as a symbol of a playful free spirit.

If you ever get stuck when art journaling just hop on over to Pinterest and look for a symbol that you can incorporate on your page!
