A mood board is a collection of ideas and things you like that you can use for inspiration on a single or series of projects. Mine is full of dimension, snow, snowmen, and beautiful winter scenery. I have used it to inspire three projects and an additional 2 layouts not featured at ACOT.
The first project I made was a 3D album of the boys sledding last winter.
The cover of the album features clear embellishments from Little Yellow Bicycle's Winter Twig line. The colors of Winter Twig were perfect for the mood board I had created. But, colors don't always have to match between the project and the mood board.
On the first page of the album you can see that the sledder pops off the background and the base of the page is lined with fabric to give it snowy dimension. The snowflake also pops up. I also added paint lines to the paper to show wintery wind and movement as you rush down the hill on your sled.
The second page features a snowball garland across the top, pup-up snowflake, and a child dancing in the snow.
The third and final page has a strip of paper accordion folded and glued into the crease in the book. Snowflakes are added to some of the folds.
The album folds flat and is tied shut with a ribbon.The second project I made was a altered snowman container. I have had the container in my craft room for a few years. I knew now was the perfect time to alter it.
The third project is probably my favorite project; a snowman with falling snow in a jar.
To make this little guy, I glued short bits of the garland to the bottom of the jar with glossy accents. These were added one strand at a time so they could dry before dropping in the next strand. Then I glued the snowman to the lid of the jar with some cotton for snow. I screwed the lid on and stood the jar on its lid. The garland bits look like falling snow and the glass creates an icy winter scent that makes me very happy!So, that's it for what was revealed at ACOT. I'll share some additional projects created with this mood board, soon!
