On the left is Fifteen by snowlady using Controlled Chaos by Designs by Snowlady; on the right is 5th BDay by gyurgyik using Let’s Party by Leaving a Legacy Designs.

Pinterest is such a great source of inspiration so why not have a challenge for it? In this month’s Found on Pinterest Challenge, Misty of Designs by Snowlady has chosen 3 images from her Pinterest account & your challenge is use one or all of the images as your inspiration.
