Welcome to the new Inspired By Challenge.  Here in Canada we have Canada day coming up on July 1 so I chose a Red and White themed inspiration picture.



How will you be inspired?  vintage, kitchen, gingham, colors...

I pulled out the vintage feel, the gingham and I tried to go with mostly red and white (a vintage red and white) with my card.  I used the Lakeside collection by Pebbles along with a Technique Tuesday and a couple of Papertrey Ink stamp sets, all tied off with some May Arts twine.


Can't wait to see what you create!

I was really inspired by this weeks inspiration!

How will you be inspired? stars, stripes, colors, metal, brads, fashion, shoes....

I really was inspired by the shoes and the colors.  As soon as I saw the photo I thought of my Trend Setter collection by Fancy Pants as I knew it would be perfect.  I used three different Unity stamp sets and then my Cricut to create the shoe.  I love this card!

I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge and I think this week is a fun one.



There are so many ways to take this inspiration: colors, pennants, text, numbers, wedding, groupings, sketch...endless on this one!

For once I didn't go with the colors ;)  I was inspired by the sketch on this one.  I used my Kate & Co Oxford Collection by My Mind's Eye, a SRM Sticker, some Studio Calico Veneer and finally some Divine Twine.


I can't wait to see what you do!

Here it is June already, wow I can't believe it.  It is going to be a crazy month around here with my daughter's grad, my dad's birthday, father's day... all fun stuff.  For this week, I was really drawn to this photo.


How will you be inspired?  radio, music, numbers, stacked items, colors, retro, trio...

I went with the vintage feel and the radio to create a birthday card, possibly for my dad.  I used the On Trend collection by Crate Paper, some Studio Calico mist and some Unity stamps.

I used this week's sketch from Retro Sketches

And I am also playing along with the Simon Says challenge 'S' - stitching, spray, staples, stacked (I layered a few items).

Now since this is the first challenge of the month I have a prize up for grabs.  I have a few items from the All About a Boy by Echo Park



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