Tuesday Trigger: A New Year's Wish

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm a little late this morning in posting. It was just c-r-a-z-y in the office yesterday so I wasn't able to post ahead as per usual.

At any rate, I hope all y'all are synching back into your lives, that your stomachs are shrinking back to their normal sizes after all that holiday eating, and that you're excited for what lies ahead in the new year. I'm excited because there were so many who participated in last week's Tuesday Trigger--our biggest group yet--and I'm also excited because there were so many moxie fab projects this go 'round.

Speaking of which, here are the Trigger Targets for last week's Tuesday Trigger brought to us by Kazan Clark: Nancy K, Rosemary D, Laurel S, Tenia Nelson, Karla Kroese, Cathleen, Diana Fisher, and Lisa Forsythe. Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who played!

This week's Tuesday Trigger comes from our very own Paper Crafts Go-to Gal, Maren Benedict:

Bird Nest Charger from Pottery Barn

Maren says:

I picked this gorgeous image from Pottery Barn because it reminded me of winter, with just a touch of the spring I am longing for! Although most of us in the northern hemisphere are blanketed in a quiet and still layer of white, we have also just begun a new year and there is an air of freshness and starting anew. I felt that this image captured that balance and was the perfect inspiration to start the New Year.

Here is her card based on her inspiration image:


Gorgeous, no? My favorite part? The way she used the pom-poms around the scallops so indicative of the nest. Moxie fab, Maren! Moxie fab!

I can't wait to see your takes on this! Link up your projects using Mr. Linky below by Monday of next week! Oh, and many of you have sending in your Tuesday Triggers for future use! Keep them coming, friends! You never know if/when yours might appear, and if I don't use it by the end of February, you'll be welcome to put it on your blog when the call has expired. Again, the current call is for the months of January and February. Send them to me at tuesdaytrigger@gmail.com following the guidelines at the bottom of this blog post.

I just LOVE Tuesdays, don't you?

Just love this trigger.
You always find the most alluring, pretty pieces of inspiration.
The card is just lovely.
I cannot wait to run out & get the new Ella Blue paper line.
