Inspiration Week {Jaz & Diana}

If you're like us, you're dying to know how our design team members get their inspiration! There are so many amazing creations from the minds of our designers, so we thought we'd reveal some of the mystery and ask them to tell us...

Today we're talking to both Jaz Lee and Diana Brodeur on the topic of inspiration. First, let's take a peek into Jaz's world... 

 
We absolutely love that we got a tiny peek inside Jaz's creative genius...that was SO much fun, and she certainly knows how to harness her inspiration.

Here is the project she showed us in the video: 

Is anyone else completely in awe? Jaz used our beautiful Sunday Picnic collection to create the most amazing three dimensional project... 

And it is an absolute stunner.

Thanks, Jaz for allowing us to peek inside your world and sharing a bit of your inspiration.

Diana Brodeur, one of our Clean and Simple girls, also has some inspiration for us today...  

For her inspiration, Diana turned to one of our favorite sources, Pinterest, where she found this image (left).

You can see it HERE.

There are so many inspiring pieces on Pinterest.

Diana explains, "I was inspired by the scallops and layering on the bags. This prompted me to layer pieces of scallop papers together.

"I also liked how the heart is in a contrasting color. I mimic this by adding a butterfly with a little bit of bling on it."

Take a look at Diana's Pinterest-inspired Layout:

As always, we're smitten with Diana's clean and simple style, and we love how her inspiration piece translated into the perfect layout.  

So, tell us, what inspires you? Do you look to your surroundings, the people you love or is it something else that makes you want to be creative? 

Our Sunday Picnic collection is still a customer favorite! You can shop the whole line by clicking the image below:

I am inspired by my photos. Looking at them brings up the emotions and memories I have from when/where they were taken. I also look to Pinterest and online galleries for ideas and inspiration as well. I also am inspired by the products themselves, that I love. The colors and designs are just so lovely, I both DO want and DON'T want to use them. That's why I usually buy two of everything ;)
