The PIN IT Giveaway! {NOW CLOSED}
(This post is part of my Focus Your Craft & Soul Blog Event – see the list of all the posts HERE!)
It’s time for the last giveaway of the night, and this one is just for Pinterest users, or those who are willing to start using Pinterest. (Sorry to everyone else, but hopefully you’ve enjoyed all the other giveaways!) {ALL NOW CLOSED}
If you don’t know what Pinterest is, then check out their ‘About’ page HERE. It’s a site where you can ‘pin’ images to virtual pinboards, and follow other people to discover what they are pinning too. You should be careful to pin from the original url – if you pin when you are on a blog or website homepage rather than the unique url then next time you click on that pin you might have pages and pages to scroll through before you find the original image!
I am a Pinterest lover. I find it so inspiring – when I get stuck for ideas I can often focus my crafting by heading over there and scrolling through my feed or my boards! Here’s some of the things I’ve made recently inspired by Pinterest…
THIS PIN of home decor inspired this card:
THIS PIN inspired this layout:
THIS PIN inspired me to spray paint some embellishments:
This is just a few of my Pinterest inspired projects!
Now for the giveaway… you could win this:
A collection of pretty bits and pieces (all new)!
To enter this giveaway {NOW CLOSED}: Pin something from my blog! Any of my projects or tutorials – it doesn’t have to have be one of the Focus Your Craft & Soul posts. Every pin will get you another entry into the draw! Just comment below telling my how many pins you pinned from here, and leave your Pinterest username so I can check if the winner was telling the truth!
You can also follow me on Pinterest, my profile is HERE, this will also count as an entry in the draw, just make sure you let me know if you follow me on Pinterest in your comment.
Be Inspired:
Find something on Pinterest and make a project based on it
Take inspiration from home decor – an online photo or from a magazine or your own home
Alter some embellishments with paint
I hope that all makes sense. Have fun pinning! I’ll be back with another post soon,

Oh dear…I don’t pin!!! Think I spend enough time on the web….if I pinned too I wouldn’t scrap at all because there would be no time!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do also spray paint embellies….I like things that match!! LOL

I pin. But I am selective, so they don’t just sit there & look pretty. Every so often I go in, print off the new stuff I’ve pinned and stick it in ….an OLD FASHIONED NOTE BOOK!!!!! Yeah…..!!! But then it’s in my scrap room, & I can flick through it and get ideas without going to the computer and getting ‘lost’ for hours and distracted by Pinterest. I’m now following your cards board [my main pinning interest!] & have pinned some of yours…. my pinterest name is

I love pinterest I can get lost on there for hours, I love how one click leads to another leads to another and you can’t remember where you started from. I’ve pinned a couple of scrapbook pages to my scrapbook ideas board and I’m following your boards too – so much to look through, a shame I’m on my way to work!

Bokeh effect card and Pocket Scrapbook on my Ideas & techniques board, your tea towel onto my Things I like board, and I’m following you too.
I get lost in Pinterest, often going on to look for one thing, and getting completely distracted by something else. It’s a lifesaver too when you need inspiration, there is just so much on offer

I love Pinterest too – although I have to admit I’m not very “focussed” about it, tending to lose hours in there wandering aimlessly about but having a lovely time! I’ve followed you on Pinterest, pinned the event on my Crafty Challenges board (actually the last thing I’d pinned there was Frosty Festivities funnily enough), the big opening giveaway to Giveaways and Prizes, the Inspiration Wall post I’ve pinned twice to Home and also to Creative Spaces, and the Bokeh effect card to Cards. Phew! I make that …. 6 entries in all ??? Looking forward to seeing more of your inspiration over on PInterest :o)xxx

I don’t pin. I don’t understand what it’s all about. I just hope if people pin then credit is given to the originating artist. Hugz
KT Fit Kitty
Wow! Your card and LO look amazing, and I really love your spray-painted embellishments! I think I will try this myself! As for Pinterest, I did join but have not used it yet, have not pinned anything yet, not really sure about Pinterest. One of these days I’ll figure it out! I am, however, your newest follower on Pinterest. My name over there is Kitty FitKitty.
