Inspired By #87

With fall just around the corner I was inspired by this photo.

How will you be inspired?  colors, leaves, fall, stacked element, sketch, texture...

I was inspired by all of the colors of the leaves and used my Elle's Studio Serendipity Collection to create this layout.  I have also used my Unity You can do Anything SMAK kit and my doll MFT die. The date up at the top is created with some SRM Stickers.

Now today is Sketch Thursday over at the Elle's Studio blog and I used the sketch for this layout.  Be sure to hop on over there to see the sketch and I hope that you play along!

Now being that this is the first challenge of the month, I have a small prize up for grabs.  This week I have some Elle's Studio goodies for you so be sure to play along!

I can't wait to see what you do!

Yay, I am back!  Sorry for the absence.  We had a bit of a rough summer but I seem to back in the crafting groove.  Next week is the start of school for us so I chose this photo as inspiration.

How will you be inspired?  apples, texture, woodgrain, burlap, leaves, fall, colors....

I went with the apple and created a little back to school plaque for my classroom.  I had purchased this wooden sign at a thrift shop and I just used some of my Chalk Studio paper and Washi Tape from My Mind's Eye.  I had some cork that has been gathering dust so I figured it was time to put it to use.  First I applied the tape then stamped the Apple Stamping stamp by Unity.  I adhered the cork to the paper using my Glue Lines, then stitched it down to make sure it was held well.  Finally I adhered the panel to the wooden plaque using my Glue Lines, applied the SRM Sticker (Express Yourself - High School) and replaced the wire and hooks.  Easy Peesy!

I can't wait to see what you do!
