With the approach of the Super Bowl I thought this was a good inspiration photo.

Where will the inspiration take you? colors, sports, felt, lettering, coffee, texture...

For once I didn't go with the colors, although I did start there but I quickly swayed and ended up with this card.  I used my Game Day Chili collection that came in one of my Card Kitchen kits.  I just kept playing around and this is what I came up with.  It was one of those nights when everything just fell into place, love when that happens.

I can't wait to see what you do!

I decided to move away from the fashion inspiration that I have had the last couple of weeks.  This week we are going more masculine in the inspiration.

How will you be inspired? numbers, circles, the colors, color blocking, spokes, metal...

This week I am very happy to have a Guest Designer joining me.  She plays along with many of my challenges and is a big supporter of my own blog.  Please welcome Rose Miller.  Her card picks up on the colors, I love that Eiffel Tower stamp, it makes me want to go back to Paris!

Thank you Rose for joining me this week.  If you haven't checked out her blog, you may want to hop on over. She has a very active blog and you won't be disappointed.

Now for my project, I picked up on a few things.  Obviously the colors, but the roulette wheel made me think of spokes on a bike, I also pulled out the numbers and incorporated a bit of metal with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I used the new Irish Farmhouse Soup collection by Jillibean Soup along with some Unity SMAK stamps and of course some Twine.

I can't wait to see what you do!

It is time for another inspiration challenge and this week is a fun one.

I see a lot of potential with this one: colors, polka dots, sketch, embossed background, fashion...

I chose to go with the colors (surprised? hehehe)  I used my Family Ties collection by Pebbles as they were perfect!  I kept the design CAS just like the inspiration.  The twine is from Divine Twine.

I can't wait to see what you do!

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  Being that we are in the middle of winter I was inspired by this Wool Coat.

How will you be inspired by the photo: stripes, colors, texture, clothing, pocket... so many ways.

Believe it or not, this is not where I thought I would head when I was inspired but I am also needing to build up my Grad cards so that is where I ended up!  The paper is from Doodlebug, the hat is cut with my Locker Talk cricut cartridge and the stamps are from Paper Smooches.

I can't wait to see what you do.

Well here we are in the year 2013!  I am looking forward to the upcoming year, how about you?

I thought an adorable winter photo would be a good one for this week and this snowman one was perfect.  

(source)

What can you do with this photo?  snowmen, buttons, texture, knitting, two, the sketch, snow, winter... so many ways

I went with the colors and feel of the photo and inked up some new Papertrey Ink stamps (Knit Bits and Background Basics: Striped Sweater).  I also used my My Favorite Things snowflake and alphabet dies.  Finally tied it off with some May Arts Jute Twine.

Do you recognize anything?  Yes it is very similiar to my last weeks card isn't it?

Just a close up of all the texture on this card.

Since it is the first challenge of the month I have a prize up for grabs this week.  

I can't wait to see what you do!
