Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge and I think this week is a fun one.

There are so many ways to take this inspiration: colors, pennants, text, numbers, wedding, groupings, sketch...endless on this one!

For once I didn't go with the colors ;)  I was inspired by the sketch on this one.  I used my Kate & Co Oxford Collection by My Mind's Eye, a SRM Sticker, some Studio Calico Veneer and finally some Divine Twine.

I can't wait to see what you do!

Here it is June already, wow I can't believe it.  It is going to be a crazy month around here with my daughter's grad, my dad's birthday, father's day... all fun stuff.  For this week, I was really drawn to this photo.

How will you be inspired?  radio, music, numbers, stacked items, colors, retro, trio...

I went with the vintage feel and the radio to create a birthday card, possibly for my dad.  I used the On Trend collection by Crate Paper, some Studio Calico mist and some Unity stamps.

I used this week's sketch from Retro Sketches

And I am also playing along with the Simon Says challenge 'S' - stitching, spray, staples, stacked (I layered a few items).

Now since this is the first challenge of the month I have a prize up for grabs.  I have a few items from the All About a Boy by Echo Park

 Now I can't wait to see what you create!

Love, love, love these colors!

How will you be inspired? colors, fruit, sketch, paper piercing...

I went with the colors but then I added in the black for a funky retro kind of feel to my layout.  I love these photos I took of my daughter and boyfriend just goofing around one day.  I used the Park Bench collection by Fancy Pants, lots of Unity Stamp sets (mostly SMAK kits) and the Reel Life Die-namics, 3 X 4 Pocket and Stacking Star Die-namics.  The wooden veneer stars and speech bubble are from Studio Calico, the camera clip is from Freckled Fawn and the Washi Tape is from Cute Tape.  Finally, I also used my Suburbia Cricut cartridge to cut out the shoes and silhouette. I love how this layout turned out and I had a lot of fun creating it!

Some close ups, love the first pocket as the stamp goes so well with the photo.

I was inspired by a layout created by Amy Heller but unfortunately I can't find it to link to it, but her blog is so full of inspiration!

Now I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  Isn't this a fun photo?!

(source)

How will you be inspired? travel, chevrons, glasses (trendy right now), colors, purse, the little tag...

I have a special Guest this week and I am so lucky to have her here.  Barb plays along with many of my challenges and always has such fabulous projects to share, be sure to check out her blog!  I love how Barb has incorporated the colors, theme and chevron all into this fun card!  Love the twine too, I always love twine ;)

Thanks so much for playing along Barb!

Now I went with the colors and pulled out the chevron, which is really what caught my eye in the photo.  I used my Teresa Collins Stationary Noted Collection along with a Studio Calico veener piece.  

Now I can't wait to see what you create!

I LOVE this inspiration photo and I hope that you do too.  I think that there are so many ways to go with this one.

How will you be inspired? Distressing, colors, stripes, sketch, wood,  monogram...

I pulled out the colors and the distressing and had a lot of fun with my project.  I used my Trend Setter collection by Fancy Pants along with some Studio Calico veneer and mist and finally some Unity stamps (love the new Fashionistas and the companion sentiments!). I used my Cricut to cut out the pocket.

I can't wait to see what you do!

I am really in love with this inspiration for this week's challenge.

I took this photo literally, I was inspired by the colors, the text, the sketch I just love this inspiration!  Again other was to take this: the colors, foliage, text, animal print, squares, layers...

For my card I used my Studio Calico Take Note papers along with the chevron from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook.  I have also used 4 different Unity sets and the flowers were cut with my Art Philosophy Cricut.  It is hard to tell but I embossed the rustic white cardstock with my PTI woodgrain embossing plate.

Now I can't wait to see what you do!
