Inspired By...#72

Welcome to the new Inspired By challenge.  Today with chalkboards being so popular I went with this fun image as my inspiration.



How will this inspire you?  chalkboard, foliage, sentiment, colours, distressing...

I went with the chalkboard and the colors for my project.  I spray painted an old clipboard, distressed it with some white acrylic paint and then decorated it with some Yellow Submarine papers by Echo Park.  The flowers are cut with my Cricut and the sentiment is from my Silhouette.  I now have this hanging on this cabinet that graces our entry way.  

I can't wait to see what you do!

With Earth Day coming up on April 22nd I thought I would have an Earthy Inspiration challenge.  

Now how will you interpret this one?  Globes, maps, circles, as a sketch, text, banner... so many ways to go with this one.

I decided to go with an earthy feel to mine as well as incorporate some map inspired items.  I used my Story Teller collection by Crate Paper to create this card.  The stamp is from Simon Says (YOLO by Kelly Purkey) and the twine is May Arts.


I used this week's Sketchbook Saturday sketch:


I can't wait to see what you do!

Inspired By... #70

Time for another challenge and in honor of Autism Awareness Month I chose some blue inspiration for you.


So how will this inspire you? colors, flowers, pleats, stripes, CAS...

I went with the colors and flowers to create this sassy card.  I used my Family Ties collection by Pebbles along with a couple of  Unity stamps and a Cricut Die cut.  The lines under her feet, 'shadow lines' have been stitched.




I can't wait to see what you do!

Wow, here we are in April already!  When I think of April, I think of April showers, rainbows, spring flowers... This inspiration photo really popped out at me.


I really had a lot of different ideas for this: tags, boots, rainbow, sketch, grid, pairs...

I played around a bit and this is what I came up with.  I went with the rainbow and the sketch/layout of the photo.  I used my Pebbles Basics Cardmaking pads along with a Technique Tuesday stamp.


I can't wait to see what you create!

Now being that it is the first challenge of the month there will be a prize.
