Inspired By... #52!

I can't believe I have had this challenge blog for one year already!  I have loved seeing what everyone has created with my Inspirations and it has also pushed me to step out of my own box at times too!  I am looking forward to the next year.

Now with Christmas coming up very quickly and my love for Santa... I had to have some sort of Santa Inspiration ;)  Love this cute little guy.

What will you do with this inspiration?  I see it as a great sketch, vintage, colors, Santa, Christmas, Text...

I pulled out the colors and went with a Christmas project.  I upcycled a couple of wooden garage sale plaques into an Activity Advent Calendar.  One December activity to be done per day as a lead up to Christmas.  I created one last year and my oldest daughter loved it so much I had to do another on. Inside the pockets are tags with an activity printed on them.  

I used my Lawn Fawn Fa-La-La collection as the colors and feel of these papers were perfect!  I have also used a lot of bits and pieces from the Be Merry products by Elle's Studio.  Finally I tied on some Peppermint Divine Twine.  

This is for the Lawnscaping Challenge: 

Now since it is the one year anniversary of Inspired By there will be a random prize draw for one lucky participant.  The winner will receive some Elle's Studio Be Merry goodies!!!

I can't wait to see what you create this week!
