It's in the details

I love browsing the Nook Gallery - there is so much to be inspired from, both from the DT and the members.

I find studying the details useful. How do the designers layer their embellishments, how do they group them? Does inking the edges make a difference? How do they make their add depth to their projects?


Here is some close up photos of projects made by the DT with the January Kit.

CARDS Pinspo Challenge: To Bake, To Bathe or Both?

Hello, Nookers!

Shellye here with your Wednesday CARDS Challenge.

I enjoy perusing Pinterest...maybe a little too much!

We like to use PINSPO Challenges here at the Nook...what is a Pinspo challenge?  Simply using some of our favorite photos (found at Pinterest) and using them as inspiration in creating cards, layouts, etc.  You may see patterns, a certain color scheme or an actual image.

I ran across a couple of photos that I thought would go well with the January Nook Kit.

The first photo:

Yumm-O Cupcake

My Take:

The Second Photo:
Luxurious Bath

My Take:

Thanks for looking!

Happy crafting :)
