Inspired By...#119

Welcome to this week's Inspired By Challenge.  With Canada Day coming up on July 1st I was inspired by red this week.


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

I went with the vintage feel and the colors and patterns to create this fun thank you card.  Now I am all ready for anyone who hosts a Canada Day party!  I used the Americana and Basics collections by Pebbles, along with some Papertrey Ink stamps and dies.  The lace edge on the 'tablecloth' is from an old hankie.  In order to paper piece the jar and strawberries, I used my Xyron 150.  To hold the straw and clip in place I used some of my Xyron Adhesive dots and finally, for the large pieces, a strip from my Xyron Mega Runner before sewing.



I can't wait to see what you create!

Inspired By #118

Time for another Inspiration Challenge.  I have been wanting to use this one for awhile.  What a fun crib!


How will you be inspired? woodgrain, stars, moon, color, baby...

I was pretty literal with this one.  I used the Special Delivery Boy with woodgrain paper from the Lakeside collection both by Pebbles.  I cut the moon and large star with my Silhouette.  The stamp is from Technique Tuesday.

Isn't this a pretty room?  Love the soft feel and all the different prints.

How will you be inspired?  colors, polka dots, flowers, quilt...

I pulled out the colors and mixed different patterns by using the You Are My Happy collection by Teresa Collins.  I thought they were perfect for the inspiration.  I used a butterfly die from MFT as well.

Of course I used my Xyron Mega Runner and Adhesive dots to adhere the papers before stitching.


I was inspired by this sketch at Techno Stamper:
