More Maps...My Pinterest!

1/2/2012

Organization is on just about every New Year resolution Top 10 list.
For me, Pinterest is a terrific tool to organize inspiring images that invigorate my creativity!

Best of all, it is a visual tool that is fun and easy to use, too!
Today I am sharing a collection of photos pulled from my More Maps Pinterest board!

1. Vintage Map Pillow by My Bearded Pidgeon, 2. Take a (Road) Trip Down Memory Lane by Martha Stewart Living, 3. Compass-Rose Nose Map Deer Head by Steph Goralnick, 4. Suitcase Containing Miniature Books by Erin Ciulla, 5. Map Heart Garland by Mont Clairmade, 6. Vintage Map Brooch by Bombus, 7. Map Necklace
by Ivy Lane Designs.

Pinterest has grown quickly and does have a waiting list for new members.

However, if you are interested in signing up for Pinterest and getting started sooner than later, simply leave a comment below to let me know you want to be a member and what e-mail address you would like to use to join.
I will happily send you an invite to get started right away!

Please let me know, too, if you are already on Pinterest…I’d love to check out your boards!
Happy New Year!

These are so awesome!! I haven't started on Pinterest yet and would love an invite :) my email address is grtshoppe@gmail.com ;)

I think my favorite is the map with the needle and thread. I want to get some maps of the world and do that for a "Dream Vacation" map ;)

You are so creative with your own map art and I love seeing the different pieces you post. Thank you so much for sharing! It's really inspiring!

Looking at your map pinboard makes me think I could do some pretty interesting things with my expired aviation sectionals... (Navigation maps for pilots.) Pretty cool stuff.

Would love to be on Pinterest myself, alas I'm stuck on the dreaded waiting list. *sadness*

I love your collection of maps, they are so unique! My favorite is the 'threaded' vacation route...an easy project and what a great way to remember a trip. Love it!
I have found lots of cool ideas on pinterest too...I especially use it for kids crafts, recipes, and decorating / craft projects. If possible, I would love an invite so that I can easily organize or 'pin' all of my cool finds. Thanks very much!!

I've always enjoyed your work!
Now I think that I am ready to take the plunge and start Pinterest. Please send an invite. Any tips on how to get started?

Mary C. Nasser link

2/16/2012 11:29:01 pm

Just sent you an invitation, Barbara!
Glad you're ready to take the plunge!
My tip would be to just have fun!
If you need help with choosing categories, they do have suggestions under "Everything" at the top: like Art, Food & Drink, Home Decor. You could start with some of these!
Happy Pinning!
