Inspiration (Bloggers Challenge)

Inspiration: a divine influence or action on a person

This weeks challenge was to find something that inspired you...We took the kids to a waterpark last weekend, and I kept seeing this cute little girl walking around (with her parents)...She was wearing the cutest little bathing suit...It had blues/browns/greens...prints/solids/flowers...Of course, I did not have my camera to take a picture, but it stood out enough for me to remember it

Paper: KI (the Toby collection from Elsie Flannigan)...I saw her at CHA, and she is the cutest little thing...Choclate chip

Acc: Ribbon, Chipboard from various vendors, glitter on chipboard, Prima flowers, and brads

Toilet Paper Container

I did another alteration this week...For this, I used a Toilet Paper roll...Cut it into 2" pieces...Wrapped the inside, and outside with paper...Added a handle, and tag...then added some goodies...This idea came from Nichole Heady

Stamps: A Muse

Paper: Bazzill Bling, SU orange, Reminisce DP

I used paper from cloud 9 design ...Flowers from Prima...Ribbon from KI

My puppy, Maggie...Mini American Eskimo...Born Feb. 10th 2007...I think this may be the only time I have seen here sleep...I swear, she is here and gone in 1/100th of a second...I LOVE her though!!!

Cracked Monet

O.k...This is one of those items that I had to have, but NEVER used...Ultra Thick Embossing Powder...

When using this, there is 1 thing that you MUST do...When you heat it up, heat from underneath...If you do not, it will fly ALL OVER!!!

Stamp your image on watercolor paper, I used Fabriano paper, then use versamark, and cover the entire surface...Add UTEP, heat...Reapeat these 2 steps 2-4 more times...When done, place in the fridge for a minute or two...Then crack it...
