Welcome to another Inspiration challenge.  We start back to school here next week so I was really inspired by this photo.

Where can you go with this? pencils, rainbow, triangles (a trend right now), pennants, woodgrain...

My final project is nowhere near where I thought I would end up when I started, LOL! I thought I was going to do a Back to School project but as you can see, I am far from it!  I ended up going with a lot of color and using the Grandma's Lima Bean Soup collection by Jillibean Soup. I have also used some V Striped Twill and a bit of Jute Twine (all available at the Ribbon Carousel), a Papertrey Ink die along with some Unity stamps to finish it off.  My mom turned 70 this year and I took advantage of everyone being together to get a shot of her with all of her grandkids.

I can't wait to see what you do this week.

So sorry that this is late again.  I went away on the weekend with hubby for our 20th anniversary and totally forgot about posting my winner!

Not that I want to rush or anything but fall is just around the corner as is school start up for me so... I thought this would be a great inspiration photo.  Have to say though I do love fall so I am looking forward to it.

Inspiration options: apples, grid, colors, gingham, plaid, paper piecing, texture....

For my project I created a Back to School notebook for myself.  Always handy to have one just for jotting down ideas from staff meetings and such.  I have used a mixture of Jillibean Soup papers and elements (Grandma's Lima Bean, Winter Tortellini & Spinach, Soup Staples) and I cut the apple with my Cricut.  I have also used some May Arts Jute Twine and Printed Twill, don't you love that all of this is available at the Ribbon Carousel... including the collection pack - one stop shopping!  Finally, the small apple die that I used for the negative strip is from PTI and the tab die is from My Favorite Things.

I used Kimber's 2Peas sketch for the front of my notebook cover:
