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.

I have never been a coffee drinker and have always liked tea.  Lately I have really been enjoying some of the fabulous flavors of loose leaf tea so I chose this photo as Inspiration this week:

(source)

How will you be inspired? text, tea, graphic, colors, sketch...

I went with a tea them and used my Flea Market collection by Crate Paper along with a PTI stamp and a Silhouette Cut File.  Most of my friends are tea drinkers like me so I know this will come in handy one day.

Can't wait to see what you create!

I love spring and I love, love, love lilacs!  The lilacs a blooming in abundance around here so I chose this photo as my inspiration today. (Love this photo too, wish it was my garden!)

How will you be inspired?  bike, flowers, colors, spring..

I went with the colors and used the Black & White collection by Glitz to create this fun encouragement card.  Kind of an inspiration for myself since I just joined on as a Jamberry consultant (which I am loving!).  The scribbles are cut with my Silhouette.

I just signed up as a Jamberry consultant and have been having a lot of fun creating collages with some fashion and nail combos.  I decided to use one as some inspiration today.  We are definitely still getting April showers and I am very ready for some May flowers!

How will you be inspired?  colors, spring, flowers, umbrella, fashion...

I pulled out the navy and pink (such a fresh combo) and used the Pen Pals collection by Pink Paislee, along with some MME enamel dots, and a Silhouette cut.

I can't wait to see what you create!

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

(source)

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.

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

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).

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.

(source)

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.

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?

(source)

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:

It is time for another inspiration challenge and this week I chose some halloween colors but it certainly isn't a halloween picture.

(source)

How will you be inspired? colors, camera, number, trio, sketch...

I pulled out the colors and the trio and created a halloween card with the new Happy Haunting collection by My Mind's Eye.  I cut the trio of circles with my Silhouette and the spider with my Chic & Scary cricut cartridge.  The stamp is from CTMH and the twine is The Twinery.

Happy July 4th to all of my American Friends!  I hope that you have a great day!

For today's inspiration, I chose to go with Gold, Blue and White (almost red, white and blue - no?)  Both gold and nautical are trends I am noticing all over blog land so I thought I would incorporate both for the inspiration this week.

(source)

How will you be inspired?  colors, nautical, gold, charms, circles, buttons...

I decided to go with the colors and the nautical theme with my card today.  I combined my Kate & Company Oxford collection by My Mind's Eye with a glitter paper from the Summer Stories by Teresa Collins.  The die cut is with my Silhouette, backed by some Fabric Tape by Love My Tapes.  Finally the sentiment is a sticker from SRM Stickers tied up with a bit of May Arts twine.

Since it is the first challenge of the month I have a prize up for grabs today.  I am just in the middle of purging/organizing my craft room so I am not sure what it will be yet but it will be good ;)

Welcome to the new Inspired By challenge.  Today with chalkboards being so popular I went with this fun image as my inspiration.

(source)

How will this inspire you?  chalkboard, foliage, sentiment, colours, distressing...

I went with the chalkboard and the colors for my project.  I spray painted an old clipboard, distressed it with some white acrylic paint and then decorated it with some Yellow Submarine papers by Echo Park.  The flowers are cut with my Cricut and the sentiment is from my Silhouette.  I now have this hanging on this cabinet that graces our entry way.  

I can't wait to see what you do!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  I am really into gray lately and I love these colors.

(source)

How will you be inspired? colors, texture, grid, fabric, crochet...

I knew right away that I was going to use my Seen & Noted by Pebbles, and was just going to stick to the gray and yellow but I snuck in this flowered paper as well.  I cut the smile sentiment with my Silhouette.  I was totally inspired by Danni Reid's card and used it as my sketch.  I love Danni's work!

I am back with another inspiration challenge for you.  I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family.  

Looking forward, New Year's Eve is coming up so I was inspired by this photo.

(source)

What can you do with this photo?  stars, strips, garland, colors, confetti...

I went with the feel and the stars of the photo. I mimicked the star garlands by sewing down some die cut stars and the negative die cut.  I saw a hint of blue in the photo so I also pulled that in.  I used my Fancy Pants The Good Life collection, along with some MFT Dies and the 'new year' was cut with my Silhouette.  

We are hosting a quiet family gathering with my parents and a couple of the girls' friends for New Years.  What will you be doing?

This is also for the Cameo Creations Challenge - New Years.
