When I saw this inspiration I had to use it right away!  I think the colors are just so yummy!

How will you be inspired?  colors, check, metal, food, two...

I had to use the colors as I just love this combo! I hardly ever use any shade of purple in my creations but I love it with the navy and grays.  I created a teen themed card.  I used some Front Porch by Pebbles along with some plain cardstock. I embossed the card base with a woodgrain plate from Papertrey Ink.  I then stamped the SheArt Print Texture background on some gray cardstock. I cut a tag shape from some pattern paper and stamped the paint spots from the Epic Moments SMAK kit  and then layered the sentiment, some messy thread and some denim scrap. The flowers are from the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and the sentiment die is from My Favorite Things.

I am linking up to the Simon Says challenge: Twine or String.

LOVE the feeling of this photo, so cool and relaxing.

How will you be inspired? colors, feeling, quilt, texture...

I thought of winter when I saw the photo and thus went with the cool colors and a winter theme.  I also picked out the plates on the wall with my die cut circle panel and the stitching behind the panel picks up on the quilt.  I used my Stationary Noted (well scraps of... not much left) by Teresa Collins along with some Silhouette cuts and the new White Divine Twine.

I can't wait to see what you create!

I have a fun photo inspiration for you.  I am a tea lover so when I saw this I knew I had to use it for some inspiration.

(source)

How will you be inspired? tea, hearts, colors, clean and simple, tag, white space....

I of course had to go with a tea theme.  A coworker had her birthday yesterday and she is a fellow tea lover.  Leaf Tea is hard to come by in our town (I know right) - we have to get them from out of town.  So I left this little giftie for her.  Inside the 'tea box' (which is a Silhouette cut) are a couple of sample sizes of leaf tea.  I used the Christmas Cheer collection by Lily Bee along with some PTI dies and stamps and some twine to tie it all off.  She did like her little gift.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome to another Inspired By challenge.  I have had this photo in my inspiration folder for awhile now and I am finally using it!

(source)

How will you be inspired?  woodgrain, polkadots, print, text, colors...

I pulled out the colors and I was inspired by the large text.  I used my Memorabilia collection by Teresa Collins along with a large and new mini Placemat by Jillibean Soup. The large title is cut with my Silhouette and I have used some new Unity SMAK kit stamps (Be Your Own Beautiful and You Are Loved).

Can't wait to see what you create!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year.

I am really looking forward to the upcoming year.

With winter in full swing (although I have to say our weather has been pretty awesome here!) I like the warm cozy feel of this photo. Nothing better on a cold winter day than wrapping up with a warm blanket.

How will you be inspired? layers, stripes, colors, texture...

I went with the colors and the horizontal layering and created a masculine birthday card.  I used my Lost & Found Record It Antique by My Mind's Eye along with some stickers from SRM Stickers (Say it With Stickers and Express Yourself New Years; Sentiment/Happy Birthday) and a My Favorite Things Die.
