Inspired By #29

I am glad that you have stopped by for another Inspired By Challenge.  With the official start to summer I was inspired by this sunburst quilt.



How will you take the inspiration? The colors? The sunshine? A sunburst?  The sketch?  

Funny thing is, I was actually going to do a sunburst just like this with these colors even.  Somehow, I stuck with the sketch and the sunburst (I have been wanting to do one on a layout for awhile now - finally pushed myself to do it)... but you will see I did not stick with the colors!

I used my Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection and the stamps are from the Oh Snap! set by There She Goes.  I am really happy with how this turned out.


I can't wait to see what you do!

Inspired By #26

I am really in love with this inspiration for this week's challenge.


I took this photo literally, I was inspired by the colors, the text, the sketch I just love this inspiration!  Again other was to take this: the colors, foliage, text, animal print, squares, layers...

For my card I used my Studio Calico Take Note papers along with the chevron from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook.  I have also used 4 different Unity sets and the flowers were cut with my Art Philosophy Cricut.  It is hard to tell but I embossed the rustic white cardstock with my PTI woodgrain embossing plate.



Now I can't wait to see what you do!

Inspired By #23


Welcome to another Inspired By challenge.  I have so many ideas with this inspiration picture.




I think there are a few ways to take this photo: the sketch - grid; colors; botanical print; books; birds...

I went with the colors (mostly the green, orange, white and I used gray instead of silver) and decided to do a layout this week.  I used my American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neopolitan papers and chipboard.  This beautiful photo is one of my neice and I took it off of her facebook page.  I have also used some Unity Stamps along with some Twinery Twine.  I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the pennants and rose.


By the way, I posted this up on the StopAndScrap Blog as my first post as a DT Member, would love if you stopped by :)

I used this sketch from Twisted Sketches - using some Studio Calico Mr. Huey for a bit of ink distressing.

This is also for the Bird is the Word challenge - smile and the City Crafter challenge - use a photo.
