Love, love, love these colors!

How will you be inspired? colors, fruit, sketch, paper piercing...

I went with the colors but then I added in the black for a funky retro kind of feel to my layout.  I love these photos I took of my daughter and boyfriend just goofing around one day.  I used the Park Bench collection by Fancy Pants, lots of Unity Stamp sets (mostly SMAK kits) and the Reel Life Die-namics, 3 X 4 Pocket and Stacking Star Die-namics.  The wooden veneer stars and speech bubble are from Studio Calico, the camera clip is from Freckled Fawn and the Washi Tape is from Cute Tape.  Finally, I also used my Suburbia Cricut cartridge to cut out the shoes and silhouette. I love how this layout turned out and I had a lot of fun creating it!

Some close ups, love the first pocket as the stamp goes so well with the photo.

I was inspired by a layout created by Amy Heller but unfortunately I can't find it to link to it, but her blog is so full of inspiration!

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

I have a special Guest this week and I am so lucky to have her here.  Barb plays along with many of my challenges and always has such fabulous projects to share, be sure to check out her blog!  I love how Barb has incorporated the colors, theme and chevron all into this fun card!  Love the twine too, I always love twine ;)

Thanks so much for playing along Barb!

Now I went with the colors and pulled out the chevron, which is really what caught my eye in the photo.  I used my Teresa Collins Stationary Noted Collection along with a Studio Calico veener piece.  

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

I LOVE this inspiration photo and I hope that you do too.  I think that there are so many ways to go with this one.

How will you be inspired? Distressing, colors, stripes, sketch, wood,  monogram...

I pulled out the colors and the distressing and had a lot of fun with my project.  I used my Trend Setter collection by Fancy Pants along with some Studio Calico veneer and mist and finally some Unity stamps (love the new Fashionistas and the companion sentiments!). I used my Cricut to cut out the pocket.

I can't wait to see what you do!

In honor of Mother's Day I have this inspiration for you today.

How will you be inspired?  For mom, colors, sketch, journaling...

I created an altered acrylic frame that would be perfect for a little one to fill out and then any mom would love to have sitting on a desk.   I used the Family Ties Collection.  I used my Glue Lines to adhere the pieces before sewing then once again to adhere it to the acrylic frame.

I am playing along at The Paper Players this week:

Can't wait to see what you do!

How will you be inspired?  Circle shape, water-colour, flowers, colors,...

I was inspired by the colors and the flowers.  I used my Little Bo Peep collection by Crate Paper, along with some Woven Burlap ribbon by May Arts and a wood speech bubble by Freckled Fawn.

I can't wait to see what you do!

Now being the first challenge of the month there will be a prize up for grabs.  I am writing this post while away and I forgot to take a photo, but the prize will be some Hampton Arts stamps.  I will add the photo when I get home.
