The Dream Team has a spectacular month planned for you...filled with exciting news and inspiration for all of your crafting dreams! The exciting news will be announced in the Dream It Up! post on April 17th, but the "April Inspirations" challenge will run for the entire month. Each team member will post what inspires them in their creative life...maybe a Pinterest pic, a magazine pic, a quote, a book, a place, an artist, a crafter friend...along with their creation. We are hoping that you will feel inspired as well, and link your projects (and inspiration) to the inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog.
I love hats, so one day I did a search on Pinterest for "vintage Easter hats". Wow, there are a LOT of images out there! Here's a few I found:
 |
| Sooo sophisticated! |
 |
| Ok, maybe this one is a little over the top! |
 |
| Perhaps you prefer the "Downton" look, very classy |
 |
| The matching purse makes the ensemble! |
Ok, these last three are a little more "normal" and really did inspire me to work with Dreamweaver Stencils' Hats stencil (LG671). Here's what I came up with:

I have this stencil and thanks for the your inspiring creation! Perfect design just before Easter.
I like to see hats too...just don't like to wear them anymore...smile... You did a fabulous job with your hat card, now I want that stencil...You are an enabler...
this turned out so softly pretty, Louise. I so wanted to come up to Door County for this weekend. Military Retirement party for a friend in MN. took preference. So many places to go and only one of me.
great colours - so soft and yet bright and sunny. luv the background too - it really offsets the hats and that bow is the perfect touch. great card!
Wow...you certainly had lots of inspiration from which to choose from, and you used this hat stencil in such a creative way. Love the layout design of this card. The embellishments on the hats are genius.
gorgeous card, with an awesome inspiration
Beautiful hat inspirations! The easter egg is such a fun design and the hats look like a soft suede with the sponging technique.
Wonderful resemblance of the hats in the later pix to your card...great inspirational piece. Makes me want to get that stencil out to play with.
Somehow, Louise, you always make me look at these older stencils in a new way. Thank you for that. Lovely again!
LOVE the hats! Both samples are fabulous! Great job.
