Hey everyone, I am here with my take on this week’s Inspired By Challenge. When I saw the stripes and the bright happy colors I thought of the new Craft Room collection by Echo Park. So many fun things in this collection, perfect for us crafters. When I saw the Oh Crop chipboard element I thought I would make a Oh Crop I missed your birthday but then this came to mind. I used the sketch and created this:
It also gave me an excuse to use this neglected stamp and die from CTMH that I don’t think I ever used (have you ever purchased something then never used it? 😉😂- pretty sure I am not the only one!)

I have used a couple of AngieGirls from Unity Bailey Girl and Jane Girl along with the And Then it was Spring paper pack. I paper pieced the hoodie. I wore a yellow hoodie the other day and got many compliments so I was in a yellow hoodie mood! LOL

The new Inspired By challenge is up and it is such a pretty one (there’s lovely new graphics too!). I was inspired by the flowers and the colors. I used some of my Stampin’ Up stash, love these beautiful papers. I then used one of my Stampin’ Up stencils for the flowers. I love this stencil so much!
I started with an aqua card base then topped it with the pretty vellum paper before adding the white and the gingham. I mounted the flowers on foam squares for some dimension and then of course the stamp and sentiment die is from Stampin’ Up as well.
Now check out this week’s graphic and of course we would love for you to come and play along!
I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today and since it is a new month I am hosting another them challenge. This month the theme is green.
Here’s my take on Green, using some old CTMH papers – it has such a springy vibe don’t you think. I have paired it with the Bubble Tea die from Lawn Fawn in which I made a shaker. The sentiment is from MFT and the XO is another Lawn Fawn die.
Not sure if there is such a thing as green bubble tea? I am sure there is. What flavour do you think it would be?
Would love to see your take on this month’s theme. Head on over to the CLP blog to see this month’s guest designer and of course to link up
I am so excited to have my first projects up on the Echo Park page today. For this one I used the new Wine collection to create a couple of cards and a wine bottle tag. Would be perfect for a girls night don’t you think?
If you are a wine drinker, or have some friends that are, then you need this collection! So many fun elements and stickers in it.
When I saw this week’s Inspired By challenge I knew it would be a good excuse to use my new Pink and Main Box of Donuts Dies. thus I was inspired by the donuts 😊 I had fun putting this together as it gave me an excuse to use some of my beads and confetti that has been sitting in my stash just waiting for the right project. It was also a good way to use up some of my scraps.
Here’s this week’s inspiration and I am also playing along with the Simon Says challenge – Anything goes
When I saw the sketch from CAS colors and sketches, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use. I thought the Windowsill Woodlands from Unity would work well. What do you think?
The paper and hello die are from Echo Park. I mounted the animals on foam squares.
The stamp set is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!
There’s another weather challenge and this one is from Simon Says. Of course I thought of Echo Park Paper again and this time I used the You Are My Sunshine collection.
So many fun bright papers in this set. I adhered the stickers to scrap paper so I could mount on foam squares. The Hello Die is also from Echo Park
I used one of my sketches, which you can find here
The Addicted to CAS challenge is weather and I thought of the Silly Goose collection by Carta Bella, so many sweet images!
I fussy cut the goose sentiment and sun all from one of the 3X4 cards in the paper pack. The Smile was from another card. The goose and sun are mounted on foam squares for dimension. The paper strip at the bottom was a scrap that was ripped already, I just cut it to the right size. It is such pretty paper.
I just adore this new Clever Cottontail stamp from Unity. I knew when I saw it I was going to dig out some old CTMH papers as I knew they would be perfect.
They are both very similar just a slightly different sketch. And I am happy to say, both were made with scraps ie. I didn’t cut any 12 X 12 papers LOL
I thought this second card would make a funny retirement card, thus the addition of the coffee mug. The atom die is from Echo Park paper
