Designer Challenge Part 1/7- Inspiration Board - Due 10/13

This challenge is a part 1 of 7 separate challenges that go together. After finishing all of them you will have a complete kit ready to share with scrappers all over the world. We did a similar challenge series in February but this time I thought we can go all the way and create a whole kit not just a mini kit.

First we will start with creating inspiration/mood board. You can see my mood board for my kit Funny Bunny below or you can check out Marisa's mood board for her kit Here and Now on her blog here.

Your first step is to find a theme you are excited about and can't wait to start designing. When you have the theme look for a perfect color palette. My favorite place to look for a color palette is Pinterest. Here are two boards with lots of beautiful color palettes: Color Palette Love, Color Love. Other places you may want to look is Design Seeds and Perfect Palette. And of course our best friend Google.

Your next step is to search for ideas and inspiration, which is anything that you may think of, anything that makes you think about your chosen theme and anything you think you would want to use as an inspiration while creating your kit.

Your challenge for this week:

- create a mood board
(Share your theme, color palette and mood board)

In your mood board include color palette, photos or sketches that inspired your theme. You can make an image like Marisa and I did and share in the thread here or just create your own Pinterest board to show us your inspiration (don't forget to link to it).

Here is a mood board I created for march blog train.

Deb when you decide on your color palette, share it with us. Did you come up with a title yet? I usually find a great title when designing.

I had a look in the forums ( Patron Design Requests ) and there was a request voor safari and I loved the idea, so here is my theme ; Safari !

Wow that is an awesome idea Trudette. I can't wait to see your kit.

Thank you Ania , can't wait for the next step in this challenge.

Heheh, I probably read direction for both of us. My husband is always laughing at me that I take too much time to read directions. Are you using the fall 2015 colors from the circle palette?

Yep, those are the ones. smiley

Beautiful colors!

Oops!! I was little busy with job and didn't notice this long waited challenge..I am very much in this challenge..Here's my mood board-- smiley

Sherry love your theme and the color palette. I love birds - I actually have a masters degree in bird migration. Well I love all animals but birds are so pretty with all tnheir colors, I just can't wait to see what you will create.

Ha, ha, maybe I should just give up on this challenge! I seem to be struggling! smiley
I updated it on the post where I previously had the color palette only.

Let's try again...
