Over to our Design Team

Colors in the April mood board are very spring and sunny. I used yellow, mint and grey shades from the color palette. I used the can theme from one of the mood board photos and I added flowers and buttons. Freshness is essential. For me corresponds with fresh and sunny beginning of spring and with fresh energy which children gives to us with every smile. That little dose of sunny energy makes a difference.


I associate freshness with spring. That's why the new mood board inspired me to transform an embroidery hoop into a spring wreath. I chose the mint color to be the main one. The items I liked from the mood board were buttons and flowers. Spring without flowers and birds is impossible, right? So I added birds and handmade fabric flowers. If you are interested in how I made the wreath, you can watch the video on my YouTube channel.


We often get stuck in life. Sometimes we fall and feel like giving up as it is the most easiest thing to do. But hold on. Take a break. Think why it happened. Get clarity on why we fell. Rise up. Start fresh with a new zeal. Because every new day offers us the most bright and beautiful opportunities. Seize the day and make it a fresh one. Here's my take on the mood board where I have literally started fresh. Wanna know how?? Visit my blog.


Spring is here! LOve all the fresh and bright colours of spring. We have an amazing moodboard to join us this month. I am inspired by its colours and watering can image. I love to do gardening as I am always attached to Nature. So tried to add all beautiful flowers and cute little birdie to inspire you all this month.

Be happy and spread your freshness and happiness everywhere.... Like that cute little Birdie

 DT  REVEAL  

Hello !!! Today I will inspire you @scrapnelli on our April mood board
I wanted to remake the box in which the mug was once presented.
And here she lay idle for a long, long time!
A little time, paper, textured paste and paints and it turned out to be a great box for the right things!
For the lock, I used alcohol ink and some wax.
And how she transformed)
Be creative and do the right things!



Hello Everyone!!
Here is my project for April challenge. Lovely summer colors and pastel tones with amazing mood board elements inspired me to create this hanging board which can be used as nameplate or keyholder. This is made with the scrap mdf pieces joint together to give a plank look and embellished with various MDF, and resin embellishment with beautiful flowers.



Hello people! This month's mood board reminded me of weddings and freshness. I make this mixed media Photo frame from scratch for my Maa-Papa's 39th Anniversary! Even after 39 years of being blissfully married, these two share a love which is as fresh as the morning flowers and dew. The car reminded me of this quote which I read about Marriage and Cars. It said, "Just like a car, a marriage requires scheduled, and unscheduled maintenance. Often expensive, and likely intensive. Like a car requires careful care, marriage requires both effort and attention to pull through." My parents are living example of this. The quote on the mood board inspired me to write a quote on my parents' picture too...A wish for their anniversary. Hope you liked the project inspired by our April Mood board




I associate freshness with spring. That's why the new mood board inspired me to transform an embroidery hoop into a spring wreath. I chose the mint color to be the main one. The items I liked from the mood board were buttons and flowers. Spring without flowers and birds is impossible, right? So I added birds and handmade fabric flowers. If you are interested in how I made the wreath, you can watch the video on my YouTube channel.




Inspired by the mood board colours and elements , I made this project with minty colours and elements of mood board !!
Freshness is essential in every moment .




This is my inspiration yo april 2021, spring is here and the brigthness iluminate around us. Flowers are Bloom and the smell is drunk




Hello everyone!!
Sharing my inspirational project for April.
I love the moodboard very much and specially the colours. 
It gives a fresh feeling and softness to vision.
Freshness is essential for every stage of life. 
It gived us confidence to live our Life beautifully.
Hope you like my project.
Have a good day.


The theme is "Freshness is essential. It makes all the difference".
Colour scheme is Mints, yellows and greys
The colours of the April moodboard were just so Spring-like to me, 
and what says Spring more than a nest of little chicks just waiting to 
hatch into beautiful birds. Spring is such a great time of the year when 
everything is fresh and new and bursting with life and I really enjoyed 
creating this bright little nest. 


Do you feel inspired!
