Inspired By...#54

I love this vintage print and just had to use it as some inspiration.

Ways to take the inspiration: colors, Christmas, stripes, gifts, shopping, wreath, vintage...

I took the inspiration literally and used some of my older October Afternoon paper - Holiday Style.  I am need of more 'mailable' cards so I didn't add a lot of 'doodads' to this one.

I used this week's sketch from Unscripted Sketches:

Here we go, the start of a new month and a new year of Inspired By Challenges!  Thank you to those of you who have been playing along, I always love seeing everyone's take on the inspiration.

Such a clean & simple inspiration photo this week.  I can see using the grid, circles, wreaths, colors, a banner....

I went with the CAS and the wreath.  I used my PTI stamp A Wreath for All Seasons, some May Arts Jute twine and a pearl from Want2Scrap.  The main panel is on foam squares for dimension.  I am really trying to make more 'mailable' cards this year as most of mine tend to cost me a fortune to mail!

Since this is the first challenge of the month there will be a prize up for grabs.  This month some SEI goodies for you.

I am entering this into the 10 minute Craft Challenge (I think my card took about 5 minutes)

Can't wait to see what you do!
