HEIDI SWAPP MEMORY FILE ADVENTURE.....WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

Welcome and I hope you're excited for todays adventure... What INSPIRES you? This one is a big one.   I mean literally, everyday there are inspirations everywhere.  My mind is on constant mode in thinking of what can I create.  It's just who I am.  So, I bring you to this adventure this week to think not only WHAT inspires you but  WHERE you get your inspirations.  On the first page I've created a Fotostack so that you can add  photos, lists and journal about where you get your inspirations.  You can take photos from the store where you see a cute chevron print or a design that caught your eye.  Any kind of inspiration...add it to here.  Take a look at Heidi Swapp's blog where I have more details of my pages.






Here I used part of a Fotostack and sewed them together or you can staple them together.


Just to continue with the PINTEREST theme I added the "P" symbol to my page.


Mini Instaframes are used to mimic my Pinterest board.


On this page, my INSPIRATION BOARD are a number of photos that I just love whether it be cameras, the banners, the typography, color and style.  I studied them and pulled out my coordinated papers and embellishments to create my layout.  


Here's my layout that those elements inspired me to create.  I just love the layers, colors and this photo of my daughter is my fave!  



These paper flowers by Heidi Swapp at Michaels were inspired by that photo of the bowl with the flowers on my inspiration board. 




The "love" I created was cut with my Silhouette Cameo and sprayed with Color Shine.



The last two pages I cut the top portion and sewed the edges to create a pocket file folder.  In this pocket you can add any magazine clippings, photos etc.
With the extra strip at the top I sewed a pocket  that has a little Vintage Chic notecard.





Here I added a notecard that sits in the Clear Pop bare pocket.



I had so much fun creating these pages.  I hope that you will continue your adventure with us by posting them on Facebook, instagram tagging us #hsmemoryfileadventure #heidiswapp.

Enjoy!
