Inspired By #23

Welcome to another Inspired By challenge.  I have so many ideas with this inspiration picture.

I think there are a few ways to take this photo: the sketch - grid; colors; botanical print; books; birds...

I went with the colors (mostly the green, orange, white and I used gray instead of silver) and decided to do a layout this week.  I used my American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neopolitan papers and chipboard.  This beautiful photo is one of my neice and I took it off of her facebook page.  I have also used some Unity Stamps along with some Twinery Twine.  I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the pennants and rose.

By the way, I posted this up on the StopAndScrap Blog as my first post as a DT Member, would love if you stopped by :)

I used this sketch from Twisted Sketches - using some Studio Calico Mr. Huey for a bit of ink distressing.

This is also for the Bird is the Word challenge - smile and the City Crafter challenge - use a photo.

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

Welcome to another Inspired By Challenge.  I can't believe we are in May already and of course that makes me think of May flowers - although we have yet to see much sun or warmth here!

Don't you just love all the pretty colors in this! Of course you could also go with a gardening theme, polka dots, flowers... Can't wait to see what you do.  Now once again, since this is the first of the month there will be a prize so be sure to play along!

Here is what I created for my project, I went with the gardening theme and made a Mother's Day gift.  I wrapped a mason jar with burlap.  The 'tag' is actually a little envelope (PTI die) and inside I will put a Gift Card to my MIL's favorite nursery, along with a bouquet of flowers.  The gloves on this tag are cut with my Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge and the papers are Echo Park This and That. This is also for the Shopping Our Stash challenge - Mother's day

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