Inspired By #12

I couldn't wait to play with this photo, there is something about typewriters lately that I am just loving!


Again so many ways to take this photo: the colors, the roses, the typewriter, out in the garden... I can't wait to see what you do with it.

I just got my DT box of goodies from Nikki Sivils and I couldn't wait to dive into them!  For this challenge I have used the Messages collection.  I am all over anything with ledger, typewriters, library cards so I LOVE this collection and it was so fun to play with!  A bit of Cappuccino Twinery Twine tops it off.


I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week.

Inspired By #11

Thank you for joining me on another Inspired By Challenge.  This week I chose this fun picture to work with:

There are once again so many ways to take this photo. The colors, use one or more frames,  use a quote,  go girly...

I decided to pull out the colors because when I saw it I thought of the Echo Park Happy Days collection.  For my layout I used a sketch from Kristine Davidson's new eBook, I can't show you the sketch but the prize for this week is your own copy of the eBook!  



The prize this week:

Creative Scrappers / Creating with Sketches - ebook

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.
