IE is a group of like minded scrappy friends who want to raise the bar in their own creative process through unique challenges that we issue to each other once a month. These won't be run of the mill challenges and we hope you will join us each month and be inspired by the innovative designs we create.
This is not a blog hop, and there are no prizes, but we would love it if you would take a few minutes to see what the rest of the Inspiration Elevator team created. We are sure you will feel inspired to get creative:
The first challenge, issued by Christa, is two-fold: to create a new design that reflects your style, and to use a new product or technique that you find inspiring right now.
Here is my take, on our first challenge on the Inspiration Elevator. What makes it "my style and inspires me"? Okay...I adore Kraft card stock and love to sew on almost all my cards and layouts. Next up, I love all the new fun ideas created with Washi Tape, which these are in my favorite color...teal or turquoise. I have been inspired lately by some team mates to try paint on my layouts too. Last, but not least, my brand new Silhouette Cameo (my Mother's Day gift from hubby and kids) has me super inspired with the endless amount of fonts and fun, that are now right at my finger tips.
