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:

Tomorrow is Valentine's day so I wanted some sort of heart themed challenge, but I didn't necessarily want it to only be a Valentine one...when I saw this photo I knew it would be perfect!

How will you be inspired?  hearts, clean & simple, stripes, colors, pop of color...

I chose to go with the colors and create a baby boy card.  I used the Summer Stories and Stationary Noted collections by Teresa Collins along with some dies from My Favorite Things and Divine Twine.

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.

I can't wait to see what you create!

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

(source)

How will you be inspired?  woodgrain, polkadots, print, text, colors...

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).

Can't wait to see what you create!

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:

I can't wait to see what you do!

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!

(source)

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:

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 ;)

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!
