Inspired By #10

Time for another Inspired By challenge and I LOVE this week's challenge.  I love Paris and hope to get back there one day, for now I have to be happy with pictured of it!




So many different ways to interpret this picture: the colors (like I have); umbrellas, Paris, love (which is what Paris is all about isn't it?)...

I chose to pull out the colors and make a banner, which hangs on an old window frame above our bed.  I love to decorate for the different holidays and it was fun making something for the bedroom.  I used some old sheet music along with the Paper Hearts Collection by Crate Paper and my Art Philosophy and Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridges.  It is a very simple banner and I like it!  This is for the Fantabulous Cricut challenge - heart

Inspired By #9

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  This photo really took my eye.  I love the colors and the feel of it.


Once again, there are so many ways to take this photo: the colors (I see some Valentine projects), the girlieness, shopping, dress form, vintage feel...  I can't wait to see what you do.

For my card I used the Crate Paper Paper Heart Collection and although this is a 'love/valentine' themed pack I went another direction with it.  The stamps are from Sparkle Creations (Fashion Karber) and The Stamps of Life (Hello to You).  The twine is from May Arts and the letter stickers are from October Afternoon.  I had fun once again with some paper piecing.  This is for the Shopping Our Stash challenge - people.
