Pinterest Retro Mood Board Challenge no.51

Hello Everyone

We have a gorgeous, new challenge today and it's a super duper Pinterest Retro Mood Board.

If you are like me, I love the 50s and 60s and the retro look is always such a fun and creative one.

So let's take a walk down memory lane with this Mood Board.

You are welcome to create a card, a layout, an altered project or even a digital project! ;-)

We would love to see what you come up with! ;-)

As always we have a super Guest Designer to offer some inspiration for you.

Today is a previous TOP HAT Mayoori Jain! ;-)

We are so thrilled to have Mayoori join us for this challenge today.

Hi! I am Mayoori, living in the beautiful town of Redmond, Washington with my ever supporting husband, and two lovely teenage daughters. I started scrapbooking two years ago, after I moved here from India. Frankly speaking, I was awestruck by the range of papers and embellishments available here in the US. I don’t have a particular fixed style and prefer to just go with the style based on my mood and context. Looking at the talent and creativity in this field all around, I’m truly inspired. Although I have been scrapbooking for a while now, I feel Iike I am still in learning phase. There is so much more that can be done and a great opportunity for me to unleash my creativity.

I always take lots of pictures of my daughters (although they don't like it too much) ,but I know (and hope) they will cherish it later. After all, could there be any better way to capture the essence and mood of the pictures than scrapbooking? I am proud to say I am a scrapbooker. 

Mayoori created this gorgeous page for us.

The papers, styling and elements are so perfectly retro! That photo is so fabulous too! ;-)

Thanks so much Mayoori for creating this page for us, you can see some more details here! ;-)

Please pop over to Mayoori's blog to see more of her gorgeous eye candy! ;-)

To provide some more of that Retro inspiration, check out the fabulous projects that the Design Team created.
