I decided to move away from the fashion inspiration that I have had the last couple of weeks.  This week we are going more masculine in the inspiration.

How will you be inspired? numbers, circles, the colors, color blocking, spokes, metal...

This week I am very happy to have a Guest Designer joining me.  She plays along with many of my challenges and is a big supporter of my own blog.  Please welcome Rose Miller.  Her card picks up on the colors, I love that Eiffel Tower stamp, it makes me want to go back to Paris!

Thank you Rose for joining me this week.  If you haven't checked out her blog, you may want to hop on over. She has a very active blog and you won't be disappointed.

Now for my project, I picked up on a few things.  Obviously the colors, but the roulette wheel made me think of spokes on a bike, I also pulled out the numbers and incorporated a bit of metal with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I used the new Irish Farmhouse Soup collection by Jillibean Soup along with some Unity SMAK stamps and of course some Twine.

I can't wait to see what you do!

I really love this inspiration photo, it just makes me happy.  I would love to live somewhere that I could have this as a decoration in my yard - a nice country farmhouse...

So many elements in this photo: fall, pumpkins, leaves, distressing, the truck, numbers, signage, the colors...

This week I have a special guest!  Lauren plays along in so many of my challenges and she has the most wonderful projects!  I am so happy that she is joining me this week.  Now you must  visit Lauren's blog you won't be disappointed!

I love the creation Lauren has for us today, look at those pumpkins!

Thank you for joining me today Lauren.

For my project I dug into my Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor collection and went with the whole feel of the photo.  I have used some May Arts Net Ribbon, my much loved Woven Burlap ribbon and some Jute twine.  

Now I can't wait to see what you do with this photo inspiration!
