Just Us Girls #160 - Inspiration Photo Challenge

Hi friends!  Just Us Girls has a great photo inspiration challenge going on.

Here's a closeup of the photo inspiration.  What a fun table setting!

I have many fall related stamps to choose from, and I chose this new one.  It's from Art Gone Wild by a designer named Michelle Masters.  She has a topiary line that she designs.  I purchased this (and two Christmas stamps from her line) at a stamp show here in Buffalo, NY in the summer.  I just fell in love with these designs!  This one is the Acorn Topiary.  I colored it (or tried) using the picture on the front of the package and copic markers.  I hope I gave it justice!  I've been having such a hard time lately with creating lately...it seems my mojo is on vacation.  I added some star dust stickles on this image and used papers from PTI (Autumn Abundance and First Fruits).  The green panel was run through an embossing folder.  I threaded the buttons with floss and curled the ends.

 

The JUGs design team has some great inspiration for you.  Check them out at their blogs.

Worm Wishes Just For You

Hi everyone!  If you didn't read my post yesterday, I mentioned that I went to the Stamp Scrap Art Show here in Buffalo with my friend Cheryl and kind of broke the bank!  Well, I thought I should ink something up that I purchased.  I saw that Cheryl had one of her purchases inked up and posted on her blog yesterday and I thought I better do the same!  So here is one of  my purchases.

This image is from Art Gone Wild called Pocket Full.  Cheryl and I just giggled when we saw those worms dangling out of that pocket!  So I purchased it!  I colored it up with copic markers to coordinate with the Oliver dp from Basic Grey.   The burlap ribbon was tied off with a heart button (something in the box of fun stuff I won from Diane Zechman).  I also purchased the sentiment that went with this image, but it didn't fit on the front of the card once I had it assembled.  So, it went on the inside.

"Worm wishes just for you"!  Cute card for a little boy or maybe my hubby!  I hope I remember because his birthday isn't until November!  This image was perfect for the Paper Players sketch for this week.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope to have more creations from all the stuff I purchased this weekend!
