Inspired By....#98

With Christmas just around the corner I decided to go with this inspiration photo.  Well that, and I can pretend they are celebrating my birthday, which is today ;)

How will you be inspired? colors, celebration, Christmas, vintage, checks, wreath, tree...

I pulled out the colors and used my Finnley collection by Glitz.  After a few months with not a lot of crafting mojo, it feels good to have fun in my craft room again! The twine is from American Crafts and the chipboard hashtag sentiment is from Creative Embellishments.

The layered die cut circle paper is actually a scrap left over from another project, love when I can use my scraps.


I can't wait to see what you create!

I know, another clothing inspiration. I couldn't resist this one, it is so me that I couldn't wait to create something inspired from it.

I decided to create a layout in which I pulled out the yellow and blue (loving these 2 colors lately).  I used the Cut & Paste Charm Collection by My Mind's Eye along with the Ooh-La-La stamp set from TAWS and a couple of Silhouette cuts.  I have saved these chipboard clothing tags for awhile and putting them into a little canvas bag helped to create the shopping theme.  Another thing I always save are the little chain links that come on some clothing pieces.

I used this fun sketch from Audrey.  Not only is Audrey an AMAZING scrapbooker, she creates the most awesome sketches too!

I can't wait to see what you create!

Time for another Inspired By Challenge.  With Christmas around the corner -(have you started your shopping yet?) I was really taken with this photo.  Aren't these trees beautiful?


How will you be inspired?  colors, metallics, trees, Christmas, ruffles, polkadots, texture... so many wonderful ways to take this photo!

I picked out the colors and the metallics.  I used the Summer Stories collection by Teresa Collins along with a title cut with my Silhouette.



The glittered chipboard #me is from Creative Embellishments.  It comes as plain chipboard, I painted it silver and then added some Glitter Glue on top.

I used this sketch from My Scraps & More:

I can't wait to see what you do!

Inspired By...#95

When I think of fall, a couple of things that come to mind are sweaters and plaid (warm, wool blankets).  When I came across this photo, I knew one day I would use it.


How will you be inspired? colors, plaid, layers, jewels, stacking, distressed, animal print, gold...

I pulled out the colors, plaid, distressing and even a touch of jewels with my sequins.  I used the Lakeside Collection by Pebbles, along with a chipboard piece from Creative Embellishments (love these chipboard words!) and of course a bit of old denim scraps.  I added some random stitching lines to mimic the look and feel of sewn/distressed denim.



I can't wait to see what you create!
