Inspired By #17

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge. This week I went to the zoo for my challenge!




Ways you can be inspired: the colors, the sketch (I can see some stacked tea cups...), animals, numbers,


I am doing double duty with this challenge as it is also the debut of the new Jungle Out There set by There She Goes. As you can see I was inspired by the pile of animals and thought this stamp set worked perfectly for it. I printed the sentiment up on my computer. The paper is Echo Park's A Boys Life along with some Peapod twine.

I love this weeks inspiration!  Makes me really want to go on a holiday somewhere!

Now once again, so many ways to take this inspiration: the purse itself, a city, the colors, buckles... can't wait to see what you do

(March 2011 KOTM, Year-o-graphy banners, Life Becoming, Treasure to Me, Neapolitan Bisque Soup)!

My favorite season of all is Spring and this photo just says spring to me!  I can't wait until my white tulips and lilacs are out!  So here is this week's inspiration:

So many ways to take this: colors, the textures (woodgrain, grass), flowers, eggs, bird....I went with the colors and I also went with the sketch of it.

For my card I used some papers from My Little Shoebox.  I cut the flower with my April Showers Cricut cartridge and the sentiment is a SRM sticker that I have cut apart.  I placed the sentiment this way as I see a lot of projects on Pinterest with the sentiment lining up on the right and I like the look.  Finally the twine is the new Flax twine from The Twinery.

Welcome to the new Inspired By Challenge.  With Spring and St. Patrick's Day nearing us I was really taken by this Inspiration photo.


Once again, so many ways to take inspiration from this photo: green, spots, St. Patrick's, party...  I can't wait to see what you do!

I went with the green and the spots to create my spring themed card.    All the stamps are from Papertrey Ink (Tags for Spring and Garden Variety).  I used some May Arts Twine and Ribbon.  The papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2.


This is also for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge:


I am also linking this up to the Paper Issues Challenge - Go Green and the Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes.

I thought that this would make such a cute inspiration photo so here it is:


Once again so many ways to take this: the colors, stripes, baby, pockets...

I decided to go with the pockets and use my new Nikki Sivils Noah collection.  I love this collection, so perfect for little boys, of which I don't have but I make cards for the little ones in my Grade One class, so this is perfect!  I have also uses some of my The Alley Way Stamps (Priceless Joy, Talk to Me, Snow Much Fun).  The twine is The Twinery twine.
