Pink Inspiration

I have been working on a few crafty projects to submit to the Ruffled DIY Contest.  Ruffled is a favorite of mine because to me weddings and all-things-vintage are the best combination.  And I fell more in love with the blog after they made this contest available to their readers.  I am so excited about the things I am working on and I cannot wait to style and photograph them and see my ideas become a reality. 

As a new and young designer, I have millions of ideas swirling around in my head and I am waiting patiently for the opportunity to bring them all to life.  I start brainstorming, fall in love with all of my ideas, and then want to start working on 50 projects at once.  And then I just get overwhelmed.  I need to remember to deal with just one (or two!) projects at a time and really work on crafting them beautifully.  In the meantime, I need to jot down my thoughts in my sketchbook, keep them close to my heart, and resurrect them in the near future.  Because of Ruffled a few of my ideas will become a reality very soon and I am so excited to see the results.  Thank you Ruffled for allowing this young designer to create!

Below is a photo collage with recent inspirations.  I am working with these images and ideas to put together one of the DIY projects.  The flowers are all growing in my backyard and I can see them through my window now.  Beautiful things really can be found all around us!

Images used to help create the collage can be found on Flickr: here, here, here, and here.
