Inspired By... #47

Pink is my favorite color, especially a nice soft pastel pink.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so I couldn't let October go by without some pink inspiration now could I?  


How will it inspire you? color, typewriter, letter, roses, vintage, sketch?  I can't wait to see.

I was inspired by a few things, obviously the pink but also the vintage, the letters and my sketch is somewhat based on the sketch or layout of the photo.  I used my Crate Paper Little Bo Peep collection and some May Arts Jute Twine.




I am also playing along with the 365 Cards Challenge - B - mine is: bow, bird, blossom)

I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome to a new week of Inspired By... and this week I have chosen this beautiful necklace and earring set, love the warm tones of this piece, great for this time of year.



How will you be inspired? colors, jewels, metal, banner, embossing...

I have a special guest with me again this week.  Jody has played along with many of my challenges so I am thrilled that she is joining me this week.  Be sure to stop by Jody's blog to say hi.  

I really love where this inspiration took her!
Thank you Jody for joining me this week. 

I went with the colors... I seem to always do that don't I ? ;) I pulled out my Random Crate Paper Collection.  I tied it off with some May Arts Jute twine.

I was really drawn to these milk containers and thought they would make such a great inspiration.


I love the retro feel, the text, the colors and the pennants on these... which way will you go?  

I had a lot of ideas when I first pinned the picture but in the end I went with the pennant with a single word.  I used my cricut to cut out the word and backed it with some Country Pumpkin Chower by Jillibean Soup.  I then used a bit of May Arts Woven burlap ribbon, which I stretched out, along with a stamp from Technique Tuesday, some Jute twine and of course the buttons are from PTI.  The main panel is mounted of foam squares for dimension.



I am playing along with the following challenges:
The Pink Elephant - Fall inspiration
Die Cuttin Divas: Fall colors (for me orange, brown and kraft)
CASology: Leaf

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Happy October! I am loving the neutral color palette that has been popping up for Halloween lately so when I saw this photo I was all over it ;)  

How will this inspire you?  Halloween, pumpkins, neutral colors, the texture or what about the black and white checked plate?  

I immediately thought of my All Hallow's Eve collection by Carta Bella and went with the Halloween theme and the neutral colors.  I upcycled a garage sale plastic frame, an empty plastic spice jar and a glass whiskey bottle with some spray paint and some of the papers and stickers.  The witch silhoutte was cut with my Chic & Scary Cricut cartridge.  Such a quick, easy and inexpensive project for adding some more of the 'spooky' feel around our house.  


Some close ups:


It is the first challenge of the month so I have a prize up for grabs:



I can't wait to see what you come up with.
