Gina K Design September Release Inspiration Blog Hop, Day 1!!

Hey Ya'll!! Welcome to our first day of some awesome inspiration for you, at least I hope to give you some! :D Today we have two stamps set to showcase for you. Up first is Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called Holiday Basket...this basket reminds me of the Longaberger Baskets that I have one small one of and I only set it out at Christmas, that is where my inspiration for this card comes from:



I have a red cloth in my basket like this too! Although, I don't put sunflowers in mine at Christmas time, it's usually holding Christmas cards. I went with a Fall-'ish' scene for this one. I used some 4 x 4 square material that was precut that I got at Hobby Lobby, that is the striped background and the little basket cloth hanging out. And this is sooo much fun to color too! LOVE that about it!! Sometimes, I just get in a mood to color! :D

Up next is Rupa Shevde's newest set called Under The Weather...oh my! This set has some CUTE images in it! I decided to use the oh so sad little bear in it:




Isn't he just too cute!? And looks so pitiful...makes you want to hug him, lol! I colored him with copics and prisma pencils, my favorite way to color images! Gave him some dimension by popping up his head and the ice pack and the medicine bottle. I love how cute this turned out...I usually can't do cute, but think I did this time, haha!!

Ok, ready for the most AWEsome inspiration around? Then hop on over to my fellow DT's Blogs!! You won't be disappointed!! And don't forget to leave comments on all the blogs because we will be picking two winners to win these stamps sets!!
