Inspiration overload! (Click to see the photos bigger, all Flickr links are below the collage.) I love these boards so much. I thought they'd be perfect for our inspiration piece this round. As you can see the center board with Audrey inspired me so much that I made a scrap quilt around it. The post of my quilt is linked in the Mr. Linky box. Feel free to link any past inspiration challenge project here along with the current challenge piece. I can only have one Mr. Linky box at a time, and there is no time limit on the challenge. Work at your own pace, and post them when you're finished. This is all about sparking our creativity, not putting time limits and pressure on ourselves!

If you participate, link the specific post with your project in the Mr. Linky box. It is very easy, just follow the instructions. I have had so much fun looking at the different ideas. In case you haven't played along before, you can be inspired by anything you see to make whatever you want. You don't have to make an inspiration board. Use the colors, pictures, shapes, etc. to spark your creativity. You can draw, scrapbook, sew, quilt, etc. Post your project on your blog, then link it here on mine so everyone can see it. I hope this idea inspires you, and we'll have something else next month. Thanks so much for playing along each month. I have throughly enjoyed meeting new crafty friends, and I have been amazed at the creative ideas. Have fun, and go make some stuff!

Toodle-oo!

Great boards Carla. I just added a link to a "board" project I posted a while back called "never bored with a board of thread".

Not your typical board but may still provide some inspiration.

Coming by to see how you are. I haven't did too much creating since I have once again been sick. Does it ever end? lol. Montana will be out of school in a few weeks so i hope that means we won't be sick all summer. It would be nice. Love these flickr pics you showed and your Audrey quilt is gorgeous. I love the colors and the image.

I love inspiration boards - but I've got nowhere to put one. I have a boring inspiration binder, but even that's pretty sad, since my printer died...

I'm glad to see you are inspired by my Audrey hepburn board! Did you know that holly is running another Mood board contest over at Decor8? Check it out.
