Pinterest is quickly becoming a very popular website for visual people. With the ability to "pin" any image you find online, users have the ability to visually bookmark and share tutorials, ideas, and images. Using an image that isn't necessary scrapbook related and creating a layout based on what you like about it is a very fun way to use the site. For this challenge that's exactly what you'll get to do!

Choose between one of the following images for inspiration. If you click on them it'll take you to the image on Pinterest. On Pinterest, images will link back to the original source. If images are removed from the original source, they will still remain on Pinterest. For my layout I used a little bit of all of these as inspiration.

I loved the stylish take on traditional Christmas colors & the Christmas lettering rocks!

These gorgeous mason jar lamps are so feminine & nostalgic, I just LOVE the flash of red on the white lace.

Christmas subway art. Perfect collage of words to jump start any Christmas themed page.

And a beautiful door wreath with a crafty vibe. The mixture of patterns & colors, as well as the strong 'star' shape became my overall design inspiration.
