The day before, on May 7th, we went to a Mother's Day Tea with my Godmother and both of ER's Grandmothers. We shared a table with my good friend Margaret, her two daughters, and both of their Godmother's. It was such a lovely event! The pictures were perfect for the brand new kit from Adorible Digital Design, Be Inspired. I used the kit to create an accordion fold out book. Before I show you some pictures of the inside, let's take a look at Be Inspired.
The designer Louise created the Be Inspired for times when bad things happen, but life goes on. This is mainly reflected through soothing color palatte and the premade word art options with encouraging phrases. I really like the different styled fonts used for those. It's also a great multi use kit. A blue polka dot alphabet coordinates and helps you personalize any words or titles you'd like to add. There are lots of pretty flowers, buttons, leafs, hearts, and tags you can use for journaling. A banner, colored string & stitching, and frames help make creating your projects a snap. The designed papers are bold and graphic and come with coordinating solids, not shown above. Please note the ornate frame used on the front of my design team project IS NOT included, that's been recolored from the Colours of Spring kit.
Here is how the mini book I made with Be Inspired unfolds. The Mother's Day Tea was a fun excuse to get dressed up and for each girl to bring a special doll, some even came dressed like them. Little finger foods were served and there was entertainment in the form of a ballet show, storyteller, and some dancing finished up the afternoon. ER was absolutely mesmerized by the dancers and their beautiful costumes.
The colors of Be Inspired provided a great backdrop for my pictures, which had a lot of busy colors in them. They really pulled everything together and provided a lovely way to showcase my favorite photos from the day. It was easy to decorate each mini canvas with few elements, that adds a special touch without overwhelming things and really let all the designs of the patterned paper shine.
