Etsy Inspiration

Here's a cool idea I found on Rain-E Day Designs the idea is to go to this etsy shop, find something that inspires you and make a LO! Her example is in this post. Have fun!!

Color Challenge

With spring finally here, I'm allowing myself to start thinking about warm summery days to come. Use reds, oranges and yellows on a LO or project and help spread the warmth!




And here's what the dt did with these sunny colors...

Scrap something other than a person. It could be a pet, a toy, a house, a view... whatever you want, just no people!!

Here's what our inspiring dt did!

Monochromatic

From an interior design website...

Question: What is a monochromatic color scheme?

Answer: A monochromatic color scheme uses a single color on most every room surface. In this type of scheme, various darker shades, grayer tones, and paler tints of the main color may be included in the palette. In addition, the one color is often paired with white or another neutral.

So let's see all shades of one color paired with one neutral!


And from the dt...

Manufacturer Challenge

October Afternoon makes such cute stuff! Let's see a LO or project featuring some of it!

I love seeing how different people use the same products. These first two LOs are a perfect example!

Now it's your turn! Let's see some what you come up with!
For a little extra incentive... I will be doing a prize draw soon from all of the people who have shared their work with us starting right from the beginning! I will do the draw next Sunday April 19th which gives you a week to get any challenges done and linked in a comment and get your entry. This includes any and all challenges right from our very first day!
As for the OA incentive... I'll do another draw for a little something from all the LOs or projects linked in this post.

Can't wait to see what you make!

Going Postal!

This week's Mixer at Mix It Up is...

a design inspiration – “postal” inspiration. You must create your layout using at least one item that is “postal” inspired, such as a stamp inspired patter paper, envelopes, postal stamps, etc… The Design Team really took this challenge to heart and create some wonderful designs.

and here's the sketch


The MIU dt did some amazing LOs with this one so don't forget to stop by there and have a look!

Hybrid Challenge

Print one of these tags made by me especially for you, cut it out, and use it on a project!

Ad Challenge from ACOT

Here's another wonderful ad inspiration from ACOT. This caught my eye right away and would translate so easily into a LO!

So use this ad to get inspired!!

AAM - Desert Island

AAM is All About You! Scrap about something you would have to have on a desert island. After the whole family, food, water bit, what is something that you can't live without? Your bra? A favorite beverage? Your tv? And practicalities aside for this one, for example I'd love to bring a coffee plantation ;)

And I have one gorgeous example for you today by Cortney!
