Inspired By...IB189 All the Peels

Welcome to a very special  Inspired By  this week!  Hi friends, it's Michele, and I have extended my idea of 'playing cards with friends' to my wonderful friends, and teammates here at IB!   I asked each member of the team to invite a card-making friend to help us inspire you all to do the same - I'll bet we could start a cards-around-the-world event if we put our minds to it!!  I can't think of a more wonderful way to celebrate this wonderful community we get to play in!  Bonus:  It's National Love People Day!

So, tell me, are you in??  We were all so happy when our friends said YES!  We have two wonderfully inspiring photos, and a fun Sketch to tantalize you...  so please do come play cards with us!

It was a lot of fun seeing ideas from our members this week for IB187 & IB187C. Everyone is so talented and it is so fun to see where the inspiration will take you! It is also fun to see the Christmas inspiration being shared, it will make sending and delivering paper hugs a lot easier at Christmas time (a very busy time of year for all of us)! 

The winner, chosen by a DT member, of the IB187 challenge is this gorgeous Christmas card from Elizabeth inspired by the Christmas photo!  This is so beautifully designed, we are inspired!

The honorable mention, chosen by a DT member, of the IB187 challenge is this stunning card from Nora.  We love how she "captured those colors, frame and distressed wood, perfectly"! Thank you for inspiring us this week!
