Lifestyle Crafts "Pinterest" boards

[vederekutz]

Has anyone checked out this Pinterest website? I find it kind of intriguing, though I don't quite know how it works since you have to be invited to join and do stuff.

You can look at all kinds of "pin boards," though. The idea seems to be that this website can serve as a place where you can "pin" all the images you find and like on the internet--like cutting images from magazines and pinning them on a cork board or pasting them in an inspiration book.

Lifestyle Crafts has several boards showing their own projects made with their dies. Makes it easy to browse their projects. They ALSO have a board of Halloween imagery that supposedly inspired the upcoming release. Might be worth a look....

I actually really like Pinterest. You get the invite from their site within a few minutes (at least mine came in about ten minutes), but until then there is a lot to see!
It is just like have a virtual corkboard to pin up your inspiring images, colors, phrases, anything you can see online someplace basically. I installed the button on my toolbar which allows me to click it on a webpage and it quickly adds the photo to my pinboard. Very cool!

I am just too old fashioned..I like to save my pictures to my hard drive for future use/ideas. Then I just either print to an album to keep on hand or delete. Pinterest seems like a great idea for everyone to share in one cental place. Pretty cool.

This is really-really awesome!!! Great way to display inspiration!!! Like Leslie, I just love storing ideas on my external HD's. Great site - Thank you. ;D

Leslie - you're not old-fashioned if they're on your hard drive!
I am really old school - tear 'em out of magazines and glue in a notebook! (I know, I know, "print is dead" - but I like the feel of the pages...) ;D Gail

I'm like Leslie and Ana--I keep them in a file on my laptop. If I need to, I'll print it out. That way, I don't need the internet for retrieval. But often I will just use the photos as inspiration, rather than copying it.

I keep my photos, etc. on a separate thumbdrive. Sending them to somewhere in cyberspace is pretty much beyond the capacity of my laptop (and, well, its user, also! ;D)
