January 3: Mood Board Challenge (Inspiration)

Hi Debbie!

Like Justine mentioned earlier ... maybe start with a color palette? They are one of the easiest things to be inspired by! You can find them on google images or Pinterest.

If you have a Pinterest board - look at what you already pinned and use those images that first spoke to you for one reason or another! If you don't use Pinterest, consider using it for this challenge. Take my list of prompts : and type a few (one at a time) in the Pinterest search bar and see what populates. Maybe you will be inspired by a "poster" or "typography" image to create a "new to you" title? Maybe a "photograph" you see on Pinterest will remind you of a photo of your own that you want to scrap with? Maybe you are channeling a warm sunny beach (since it's really cold in a lot of parts of the world at the moment!) ... type in "beach" and see what colors comes up. Typing in seasons ... summer, autumn, etc ... is a great way to create a seasonal mood board. There are tons of mood boards already in this thread with winter and autumn themes to help you get ideas how to approach this challenge.

If you have a favorite flower - maybe a "photograph" - a "pattern" created with that flower's image - an "illustration" of the flower - or the color palette that is similar to your favorite flower can inspire a page?

If you type in "layout design" or something similar ... lots of magazine or graphic layouts will populate. This is great inspiration for how to place photos on a canvas and can be the start of a great scrapbook page design.

Like Justine said ... I hope looking through all the mood boards and pages that are here now gives you a better understanding of how to approach this? No worries what your mood board looks like. Just plop down at least three images that appeal to you/inspire you and place them on a 600 x 600 pixel image - it doesn't have to be fancy. Feel free to PM if you need more help!

 

Gill and Justine answered this ... thank you ladies! But just in case ...
You can just do it with your digi program same as you would make any LO. Keep it small for this thread though please. 600 pixels is all that is needed.
If you want to place the images in a found template - from the store or found free online that is fine. We just want to see your three images and the page inspired by it in ONE post. Your mood board does not have to be fancy!

 

Jennifer - I can't see your image. You can directly upload it to the thread with the upload a file button.

 

I love what you have so far ... I don't think it's too theme-y at all! I would totally base your page around that awesome quote - it's gorgeous! You are saying you want more patterns - so I would start with searching patterns to see what appeals to you and add some interesting ones in. For me your mood board totally has a color palette going on ... white black golds glitter and sparkle, creams and neutrals - it's lovely! I love the inky black handwriting and I see lines and stripes forming as some interesting patterns. Also maybe the idea of the arrows ... moving forward to the next thing after graduation ? job? maybe arrows can be incorporated into your page design?

 

Hi Bobbie! This was answered a few times early on in the thread ... but here's a recap of my post above and other's suggestions:

-You can just do it with your digi program same as you would make any LO.
-Keep it small for this thread though please. 600 pixels is all that is needed.
-If you want to place the images in a found template - from the store or found free online that is fine. We just want to see your three images and the page inspired by it in ONE post. Your mood board does not have to be fancy!
-Googling free mood board templates was suggested too

hope that helps!

 

If you want to create a new Pinterest board with a few images just for this challenge and let Pinterest do the work of "displaying it" - I'm fine with you adding the image sized to 600 pixels here. Do not just add a link for your actual challenge entry. I'm not looking for anything fancy - I really just want to see your collection of at least 3 images ... that will then inspire a page.

Jennifer was just asking for help that's why she linked hers.
