Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  I just loved this photo as soon as I saw it, such a gorgeous fall photo which fits in perfectly with the fall weather we have been having here!

How will you be inspired? colors, shabby, fall, woodgrain, leaves, sketch...

I was inspired by the woodgrain, fall and the rustic feel.  I used my Summer Stories collection by Teresa Collins along with some May Arts burlap ribbon and twine, along with a Technique Tuesday Stamp set.  

I also used this sketch from Dalhouse Designs:

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  I thought this photo, and these owls were so cute./

How will you be inspired?  Owls, buttons, texture, stripes, stitching...

I was inspired by the warm and cozy feel of them and they made me think of fall.  I also pulled out the texture and the buttons.  I used a little burlap bag and created this little Fall themed hostess thank you.  I die cut the leaves from some MFT and PTI felt.  The leaf die and buttons are from Papertrey Ink.  I then created a tag using the Front Porch collection by Pebbles and stamped some Fall sentiments from Technique Tuesday.  Finally tied it all off with some May Arts twine and a Pebbles Clothes Pin.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome to the new Inspired By Challenge.  Here in Canada we have Canada day coming up on July 1 so I chose a Red and White themed inspiration picture.

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

I pulled out the vintage feel, the gingham and I tried to go with mostly red and white (a vintage red and white) with my card.  I used the Lakeside collection by Pebbles along with a Technique Tuesday and a couple of Papertrey Ink stamp sets, all tied off with some May Arts twine.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Wow, here we are in April already!  When I think of April, I think of April showers, rainbows, spring flowers... This inspiration photo really popped out at me.

(source)

I really had a lot of different ideas for this: tags, boots, rainbow, sketch, grid, pairs...

I played around a bit and this is what I came up with.  I went with the rainbow and the sketch/layout of the photo.  I used my Pebbles Basics Cardmaking pads along with a Technique Tuesday stamp.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Now being that it is the first challenge of the month there will be a prize.

Yay, here we are in March, which means Spring is just around the corner!  I can't wait, spring is my favorite time of year!  I really wanted a spring feeling inspiration and although I first thought of daffodils and such... this photo really did it for me.

So how will you be inspired?  CAS, toys, stacked elements, colors...

I was taken by the clean and simple feel and of course the colors.  I have used the Pebbles Basics collection (the Cardmaking Pads) including the new Journaling Cards,  Washi Tape and Self Adhesive Flowers.  I created the tag from one of the The sentiment stamp is from the April Showers set by Technique Tuesday.  The twine is Divine Twine and finally I cut out the bird with my Cricut.

I am playing along with a couple of challenges.  The Paper Players:

And the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge - to include a Bird.

Now being that it is the first challenge of the month, I do have a prize up for grabs, so be sure to play along!

I can't wait to see what you do!

I was really drawn to these milk containers and thought they would make such a great inspiration.

I love the retro feel, the text, the colors and the pennants on these... which way will you go?  

I had a lot of ideas when I first pinned the picture but in the end I went with the pennant with a single word.  I used my cricut to cut out the word and backed it with some Country Pumpkin Chower by Jillibean Soup.  I then used a bit of May Arts Woven burlap ribbon, which I stretched out, along with a stamp from Technique Tuesday, some Jute twine and of course the buttons are from PTI.  The main panel is mounted of foam squares for dimension.

I am playing along with the following challenges:

The Pink Elephant - Fall inspiration

Die Cuttin Divas: Fall colors (for me orange, brown and kraft)

CASology: Leaf

Little Red Wagon: Fall

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Well fall is in full swing and I am so happy because we have been having such gorgeous fall weather, I hope it continues!  The inspiration I have for you today is something that really caught my eye and said fall to me.

Now where will you go with this one? texture, acorn, fall, CAS, the neutral color pallette?  Can't wait to see.

I pulled out the acorn and went with the CAS look.  I used the acorn from a Paper Smooches Falling for You set and the sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set.  The paper is Bella Blvd.  It is hard to tell in the photo but I also picked up the texture of the napkin by using textured cardstock.

I can't wait to see what you do!
