Etsy Inspired #129--3.12.11

   Hello everyone! It's the weekend, FINALLY--which means that my hubby is home this weekend!! I have enjoyed seeing him and eating dinner with someone and doing his laundry--hahaha, who would have thought one would be so excited to do laundry?

   Today's shop is Artwork by Lori, which is full of beautiful, vibrant colorful and stylistic  happy images and some non-representational prints as well. They're offering our first winner any print of their choice up to $14! Here's a small sampling of what you'll find in Lori's shop.

   She also has two other shops, one is dedicated to very trendy, lovely and shabby beautiful, The Royal Bead fashion accessories--here's some FABULOUS gorgeous designs from her shop. 

   

   And, Lori's third shop is Hip Heart which is dedicated to fresh, clean and graphic prints!! I loved it and found my inspiration piece from this shop! Here's the piece that I was inspired by:

And, I got REALLY creative this week, and made a layout using only product

from Cosmo Cricket's new Glubers and Upcycle line

I loved the yellow and gray color scheme of the inspiration piece.

Made a flower using a gluber with pom pom trim and another

flower made of seam binding
