Tuesday Trigger: Inspiration That's in the Bag

Oh yeah! It's Tuesday Trigger Time! This week's Tuesday Trigger comes from Nina Brackett.

Nina says: I was shopping for a flowery purse on etsy (I love to buy handmade) and found this beautiful bag by daphnenen:


I love it because it speaks spring and summer to me. The polka dots and bold flowers combination is gorgeous. And as a mom to little ones, I need a BIG bag like this and it's washable too! I was inspired to make the attached card for my wonderful mom for mother's day.

Cath says: I love the color combination of this trigger and the way Nina has emulated the flowers at the bottom of the card with the white space at the top. Love that banner sentiment, too!

Ready to play? If so, here are the deets:
  • Create a paper crafted project that is inspired by the Trigger that Nina has provided and post it to your blog.
  • Then, click on the title of your blog post, copy the URL at the top, and link it using Mr. Linky below.
  • Please show the Trigger on your blog and link back to the Tuesday Trigger to encourage your readers to play along as well.
  • Please include a statement as to how and why you were inspired as sometimes it isn't easy to tell. :)
  • If you don't have a blog, post your project to this flickr group and link it to Mr. Linky as soon as you've grabbed the URL.
Easy peasy and TONS o' fun!

Congratulations to last week's Trigger Targets: Vanessa Menhorn, Andrea Walford, Amy O, Silke Ledlow, and Amy C.

Congrats to these ladies who rocked the Trigger provided by Vanessa--and thanks to everyone who gave it a go!
