Inspired By #21

I love this inspiration piece this week.  I love spring, I love tulips, especially white ones.

This, once again, is open to so many interpretations.  You can use the flower like I have, the colors, a gradient, the sketch... I can't wait to see what you do.

For my project I took this garage sale wooden plaque:

I upcycled it to a seasonal decor piece.  Like I said I absolutely love white tulips.  I used the La Petite Paperie Basile papers by Carina Gardner, which are available at Jessica Sprague.  The solids (white and kraft) are from the Daisy Jane collection, also by Carina Gardner.  I cut the papers the size I wanted them, adhere them to a base with Glue Dots® and Glue Lines® then I added the stitching.  The yellow paper was stamped with a Unity stamp before adhering and the label (cut with Spellbinders) was misted with some Studio Calico Mr. Huey.  The tulip is from the Bee-Loved set by My Time Made Easy.  The title is cut with my Spring Slice cartridge then crimped with my crimper (haven't used that in awhile!).  Now the best part... I adhered it to the plaque with Removable Glue Dots® so that I can change the picture for the season/holiday!  I love that!  This is also for The Pink Elephant challenge - yellow.

I wrote this blog post while participating on the Glue Dots Design Team.

Now I can't wait to see what you do!

Inspired By #20

It is time for another Inspired By challenge.  I have to say, I am loving doing this challenge blog, it is really getting me out of my box and creating things that I may not otherwise have done.  I hope it is doing the same for you!

With Earth day soon upon us I chose this photo as inspiration.

Maps are ever so popular right now so I can see this inspiration being used for some map projects, or you can use circles, the earth, the colors... 

Once again I dug into my My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart collection.  Can you tell I LOVE this collection!  I was inspired by the colors but also thought that the title on the chipboard was perfect as well.  "Where ever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine."  My daughter has the whole world ahead of her and I hope that whatever she does, she does it by being herself.  I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the pennants and the butterfly tag.  I love this cartridge!  This is also for the My Mind's Eye Challenge - hexagons, and the Simply Create Too challenge - Earth Day

I used this sketch from Sketchabilities:

Now I can't wait to see what you create!

ETA:  My layout was in the Top 3 at 2Peas!

Clothesline inspired challenge.

Inspired by #19

Welcome to another Inspired By challenge.  This week I have another spring inspired challenge for you.  I love spring and I love clotheslines (miss having one).  Nothing says spring like finally being able to hang some clothes out on the line!

Ways yo can take this inspiration: colors, dresses, bike, flowers, vintage, clothesline... Can't wait to see what you do!

For my project I went with the clothesline and made a new baby card.  I used the Sugar & Spice papers by Doodlebug and the stamps are from the Bit of Stardust set by There She Goes.  The cloud die is from Papertrey Ink, the sentiment is from SRM Stickers and finally some Twine.  This is also for the Paper & Such challenge: CAS and the Die Cuttin Divas challenge (I used the cloud die) - pastels.

Well here we are in April already and April Showers really fits our weather lately.  Actually we even had snow the other day... I am so ready for spring!

Anyhow, I chose a timely inspiration photo for this week.

Some different ways to take this photo (umbrellas, spring, colors, the lines).  

I decided to go with the umbrella theme and used my Jillibean Soup Southern Chicken Dumpling collection.  

I used the sketch from Twisted Sketches (twist is spring)

I am also entering into the following challenges: The Crazy Challenge (spring); The Pink Elephant (CAS) and Papertake Weekly (anything goes)

Now this is the first challenge of the month so I will have a prize!  I can't wait to see what you do!
