Inspired By #6

Thank you for playing along with me and my challenges.  I am really enjoying everyone's take on the inspiraton.  Today I have a playful inspiration photo for you.  There are so many ways to interpret this one: the sketch, the colors, the playfulness, the bike...


I am in need of some little boy cards for the little boys in my Grade One class so I decided to go with the colors and as well the sketch.  I have used some Echo Park Dots & Stripes along with some Divine Twine and twine from The Twinery both of which are available at Ribbon Carousel.  The image is from Priceless Joy, one of the debuting The Alley Way Stamps collections.   The plane and clouds are mounted on foam squares for dimension. This is also for the Cupcake Craft Challenge - New (my stamp set)


Now be sure to pop on over to The Alley Way Blog to see what the other Designers have created for you today.

Inspired By #5

Welcome to another challenge here at Inspired By.  I LOVE this photo for this week's inspiration and I think it is open to so many options.


You may be inspired by the colors, the winter feel, the coffee, mittens, the heart... so may ways to take this weeks inspiration. 

 For my project this week, I chose to do a layout.  I used the Winter Wonderland papers  available from Jessica Sprague to scrap a photo of one of my guilty pleasures... my Starbuck's Latte's.  Over the holidays I really enjoy the Caramel Brule Latte.  I cut the title with my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge and used the negative of the words rather than the letters, I like how this looks.  The Snowflakes are cut using my Winter Lace Cricut Cartridge.  The stickers are SRM Stickers and I have used a Word Flashcard from Pretty Little Studio and a Journal Tag from Elle's Studio.  Finally all finished off with some Caribbean Twine from The Twiney.


I used this week's sketch from Creative Scrappers, I love this sketch:
