Did that title catch your attention? The designers for Creativity Grows Here are at it again. We have an amazing new and completely unique class being released TODAY. Maureen Merritt of MamaMoStamps created 7 exclusive mood boards for this class, including a bonus board for those who sign up by June 24th.
What exactly is a mood board and how does that inspire us to create? We thought you might ask that, so Maureen created a special mood board for the designers and guests. Then Catherine put together a blog hop so you can see how this board inspires each of us in a unique way. Each person on the hop has pulled inspiration from the mood board to create a card.
Isn't it a gorgeous collection? I could stare at these photos all day. I'm considering printing all the mood boards and framing them for inspiration in my hobby room. Check out the video to learn how I was inspired.
