Inspired By...#55

I am back with another inspiration challenge for you.  I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family.  

Looking forward, New Year's Eve is coming up so I was inspired by this photo.

What can you do with this photo?  stars, strips, garland, colors, confetti...

I went with the feel and the stars of the photo. I mimicked the star garlands by sewing down some die cut stars and the negative die cut.  I saw a hint of blue in the photo so I also pulled that in.  I used my Fancy Pants The Good Life collection, along with some MFT Dies and the 'new year' was cut with my Silhouette.  

We are hosting a quiet family gathering with my parents and a couple of the girls' friends for New Years.  What will you be doing?

This is also for the Cameo Creations Challenge - New Years.

One Week Off

I have decided to take this week off from the Inspired By Challenges.  It is so close to Christmas that I am sure most of us are in the same boat and frantically trying to get all of our last minute items done.  I will most certainly be back next week all fresh and new and ready to go again.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone and I will see you in one week.

I love this vintage print and just had to use it as some inspiration.

Ways to take the inspiration: colors, Christmas, stripes, gifts, shopping, wreath, vintage...

I took the inspiration literally and used some of my older October Afternoon paper - Holiday Style.  I am need of more 'mailable' cards so I didn't add a lot of 'doodads' to this one.

I used this week's sketch from Unscripted Sketches:

Can't wait to see what you do!

Here we go, the start of a new month and a new year of Inspired By Challenges!  Thank you to those of you who have been playing along, I always love seeing everyone's take on the inspiration.

Being December, I went with another holiday inspiration for you.

Such a clean & simple inspiration photo this week.  I can see using the grid, circles, wreaths, colors, a banner....

I went with the CAS and the wreath.  I used my PTI stamp A Wreath for All Seasons, some May Arts Jute twine and a pearl from Want2Scrap.  The main panel is on foam squares for dimension.  I am really trying to make more 'mailable' cards this year as most of mine tend to cost me a fortune to mail!

Since this is the first challenge of the month there will be a prize up for grabs.  This month some SEI goodies for you.

I am entering this into the 10 minute Craft Challenge (I think my card took about 5 minutes)

Can't wait to see what you do!
