That is a beautiful card!

I confess, I'm a Pinterest Junkie, I have way too many "boards"! I do find some very helpful ideas, most recently in choosing an exterior paint color. Also--recipes!! Pinterest is a veritable treasure trove of (mostly) great recipes.

My daughter told me not to go to Pinterest because she said I would be addicted to it. So I have never looked at it. I like your card.

I avoided it for years too. Now I get a lot of recipes off of there. Right now I'm using it for some ideas for a school fundraiser. I'm also gathering ideas for another project for the next school year.

I love your card and so will the recipient. I'm addicted to Pinterest for ideas on my cardmaking and little treat handouts. I love watching various video tutorials. There are also several Facebook card making sites I belong to and get a lot of ideas from them.

Dawn pinterest does the same for me. I have tried a few times to get a recipe but I get no where. I get most of my recipes from GW cooking forum. .right in our own back yard.

That is a very pretty card! I have a lot (too many) of boards on Pintrest too. Love that place. I have tried gardening containers that turned out cute and lots of recipes...of course! :)

Those colors are just so cheery.

I have way to many pintrest boards. When we were doing our addition & remodel, I have inspiration boards for that. When my DD got married 4 yrs. ago, there was a board for that.

Mostly now I have recipe boards, categorized individually by either salad, soup or what kind of meat. I do like having that at my fingertips.

Also have some genealogy sites there.

I even made a board for my personal successes. LOL

I like it because I can get to it from my phone or tablet as well as my computer.

I use it for craft ideas that my grandchildren can do when staying over. Also for birthday cake ideas for my family. I am doing a troll and a minon cake in the next coming weeks. For me it is just a source of information. I don't find it addictive.

I don't do crafts, altho I have saved quite a few ideas that appealed to me....for maybe some day. I have many recipe boards and I have tried lots of recipes and liked all but one...that was just okay...nothing special. I have maybe 60 boards in all. I don't spend a lot of time on Pinterest...may go once or twice a week.

Alisande, the loosely painted leaves are much more stylish and artsy than 'neat' ones would have been. Love it.

I like Pinterest, but can say that I am not hooked on it. One time at a inservice a teacher said that Pinterest changed the way she cooked, I could never say that. I have several board for recipes, crafts, my Christmas Craft Night, etc. My daughters like it more for looking at clothes and decorating.

I too,have a Pinterest interest.

If anyone is interested,look into fabric sculpting,as I had posted about a week ago-I had a pic lined up but cannot get it onto here....

I've never gotten into Pinterest because I get too frustrated trying to find the source material and even if I can find the source, it will end up being from Denmark in 2010 and no longer available (as an example).

I despise Pinterest. The few times I've tried to get to a recipe pic that caught my interest I had to go to blog after blog. I don't have much patience for blogs either. I don't need to see 6 pictures in various close-ups of cooked chicken. And one large pic of fingers sprinkling salt.

I did try tweeking my preferences on Pinterest to Food and Drink (I think the category is) but it's still wading thru a bunch of crap to see any recipes.

Alisande, that's a beautiful card!

That's a lovely card!

Really neat card!

I don’t do crafts or art. No talent there, but my DD and I do get ideas for party decorations and for easy appetizers and such, especially for themed parties. We recently got some great ideas for a taco bar themed graduation party and some good inspiration for appetizers for the party.

Like Fun2B said - You can’t expect to actually shop for an exact thing on Pinterest because many times the item pictured will be several years old and no longer available.

i use it mostly for travel. when looking for things to do and see, it has tons of info. i love the blogs from actual people. they tell you where they ate, what they did, good times to go sites, where & how much to park, where the "locals" go, etc....really helpful!!

also use for recipes and craft ideas....

I have done several crafts from pinterest. I look for ones that I can use for our garden club activities that we can sell at our yearly sale. I have tried button art and really had great results. Done some modge podge candle holders and frames. Found great recipes. You have to go directly to the source not follow the pins, once you learn how to use it you can get around much better. Never save a pin go to the original to create your pin. If some deletes their pin and you just saved that you will have a dead end. When I was doing a lot of coloring I found hundreds of great pictures for coloring. I don't use it as much as I did, maybe some day I can get back to some of those fun things.

Beautiful, Alisande! I really like the way you painted the flowers.

I once saw some summer dresses made using cotton bed sheets on Pinterest. A very simple pattern..I think 2 pieces sewn together. I'll have to search for it as that's something I really would like to make for my daughter.

Oh so pretty. I love that! So far, I’ve just done recipes, but I have tons of boards stuffed with ideas. The creativity on Pinterest is mind boggling!

I love your card just the way you did it! I think you are a closet artist! Beautiful!

Pinterest...it's not my bag...HAHA! I haven't been there in ages.

The card you painted is lovely, Alisande! I'm looking for a new hobby since arthritis has made some things difficult......but this looks like something I could do. I've searched Pinterest for instructions but didn't find them......would you mind sharing the link with us? TIA

Here you go, Kcdcat--have fun!

Easy Watercolor Flowers Tutorial

Thanks for posting the link......I'm so excited to give it a try!

Gorgeous card!

I picked my hair color on Pinterest

outdoor garden decor

bathroom b/c we’ll be remodeling soon. Interestingly, I keep a file of what NOT to do. I hope it helps me come up w/something unique and not more of the same.

I hope you'll show us the result! I practiced a couple of flowers on a piece of watercolor paper, but did the card on card stock--one of a package of cards with envelopes that I bought at AC Moore or Michaels. I was able to use more water on the watercolor paper, resulting in flowers that look more like the ones in the tutorial.

Also, I love the look of spatters in watercolor paintings, but was afraid I'd ruin my card if I tried spattering the white ink on it. So I used a white pen instead (Gelly Roll #10) to make little dots.

Your card is lovely! And thanks for the link.

It's been a couple of years since I've looked at Pinterest. Seeing others so enamored of it made me want to get involved in it, too. But for me it was more frustration than it was worth. I've looked at recipes, crafts, and crocheting, mostly. Even tried to start a couple of boards. But I very rarely was able to get past just pictures, when I wanted instructions for some of the crafts, or patterns for crochet, or recipes for foods pictured. I may give it another try one of these days. . . . . . .

I think it's beautiful!

All I've really tried is a few recipes and so far, all but one has turned out. I did use it also, to make sure I was making my vanilla extract right. And I use it for getting as much Keto information as I can get. And at one time in high school, I wanted to be a home designer so I have a HUGE House Plans board.

Free knitting and crochet patterns. I have tried several of the cakes that were listed but I will not do that again. Well...maybe I will. LOL
