It's time for June Pinspire!  Shannon Morgan is up on the Paper Issues Blog today with this piece of Pinspiration, and several DT members, including myself, shared their interpretations.

June Pinspire

Here's my take on it:

As you can see I played around with the colors a bit, and used the word "sunshine" taken from the photos of sunshine, but the main pieces of inspiration were the popsicle and ice-cream! Nearly everything on this card came from the Poolside collection by Crate Paper.  Want to play along?  You have until July 12th to link up to our Facebook group : Paper Issues {Friends & Fans}.

:: hello you ::

Believe it or not, I have another card for you today!  I know, right?

While I was working on this layout that I shared earlier this week for Paper Issues using Fancy Pants Designs Summer Sun Collection, I made this card, too! I used both the front and back sides of that yellow paper, and then I punched out circles from various patterned papers in the collection and placed them along the seam. A little misting and a Lawn Fawn stamp and it was done!  Simple and already given to a sweet friend!

I'm linking this one up to our current issue at Paper Issues.  Link up your old or new images that fit the theme "Mist-er Fix-It" for a chance to win! A few suggestions might be:  Father's Day, misting, tools (scrapbooking and otherwise), home repairs and home improvements, masculine pages, use Fancy Pants products, summer, use June printables.
