Etsy Inspired # 128 - The Hidden Alphabet

Welcome to this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge!  Be sure to check out the EIC Blog for all the details but here is what I know!  This week's Inspiration store is The Hidden Alphabet.  I have to tell you, that everyone should visit this shop at least once.  This is a really unique (at least I think so) concept- and SO cool.  One winner of this week's challenge will win an awesome "LOVE" print like this one:
 
I chose my initial "S" as my inspiration for my project this week.  I also tried a new technique (for me) Faux Postage.  

This is what I came up with:

The challenge will have 2 winners- 1 will win the Love Print from the Hidden Alphabet and another will win a prize package from our Sponsor: Paper and Roses.   Check out the rest of the Design Team's Posts for more ideas and inspiration as well as details on how you can win one of this week's fabulous prizes!

Etsy Inspired Challenge # 126

This week's Etsy Inspired Challenge Shop is Glow Girl.  In this shop you will find some wonderful hand made coupon organizers, grocery totes and even reusable snack bags!  I have recently started couponing and I have to say- I would LOVE one of those organizers.  The fabrics available range from cute to stylish.  Yes, I NEED one of these organizers.....but I can't win the prize.  But YOU can win a Regular or Mega coupon organizer just by playing the EIC Challenge this week.  Check out these items:


I didn't choose one particular item for my inspiration (how could I- too much to choose from).  My inspiration came from the colors of the items and the floral images.  I just love the pinks, greens and browns found in many of the items and it also gave me an excuse to use my new Basic Grey Curio paper:
The image I used is from this week's Sponsor The Stamping Boutique.  This store has tons of great images, but I've been craving cupcakes lately- so this Cupcake Bakery image called my name.  One challenge participant will win 5 digital images of their choice from The Stamping Boutique.  How cool is that?
Be sure to check out the EIC Blog for all the details on how you can win one of the fabulous prizes.  Be sure to check out the EIC Design Team's blogs for more ideas and inspiration:

Thanks for stopping by- GOOD LUCK!!
