Inspire Me Monday – Week 5

Inspire Me Monday at Create With Joy
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
Judy Palmer

This Week, I’m Inspired By…
Your Creative Projects!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Vickie at Okie Nurse’s Paper And Ink Therapy
Project: Chunky ATC

OkieNurse - Chunky ATC

I love Artist Trading Cards –
Artistic mixed-media masterpieces created in a 2 ½ x 3 ½ space –
So I was blown away by Okie Nurse’s Chunky ATC
Which she created out of a 2 x 4 piece of lumber.
You have to read her post to fully appreciate the
Craftsmanship that went into her creation –
Then, enjoy exploring this talented crafter’s site!

Jennifer McClean at Just Add Water, Silly
Project: The Innocence

The Innocence by Jennifer McClean - Just Add Water Silly

The Holocaust Museum Houston is currently collecting
1.5 Million Handmade Butterflies
From People All Over The World
For Their Spring 2014 Exhibit
As Part Of
I Never Saw Another Butterfly
To Commemorate the 1,500,000 Innocent Children
Who Perished in the Holocaust.

The Innocence” is Watercolor Artist Jennifer McClean’s
Contribution to The Butterfly Project.

Won’t you consider being a part of this monumental event?

Rose at Kreativa
Project: Chocolate Cake

Rose Kreativa - Chocolate Heart Torte

Rose is a Creative Italian blogger
Who shared this very special
Chocolate Cake with Oranges
To remind her of her childhood home!
You’ll have to translate her site from Italian to English
To get the full details but it’s worth the effort!
Have fun exploring Rose’s site!

The Redhead Riter
Project: Homemade Apple Sauce

Redhead Riter Smooth Applesauce

 Smooth…Natural…Delicious…
Those are the words I’d use to describe
The Redhead Riter’s Homemade Apple Sauce!
Be sure to visit her site on a full stomach –
Temptations abound!

    Hello dear! It’s my first time to join this meme. I came across this blog during my blog hop and I find it very informative. I grabbed your buttons for the different memes and I hope that I can join on the others, as well.

    I also like DIY projects! The one you had here is really cute. I love turning some simple things into some works of art, as well.

    Link my entry for this week. Thanks!

  2. Wow, that homemade applesauce looks DEEEEELISHUS! I never been a fan of store bought because I don’t like “bumps” in mine. I’ll have to give hers a look see.

    I’ve knitted socks for many years but recently decided to learn how to knit patterns into the socks and also learn color stranding. It’s complicated and challenging, but I’ve always loved a challenge.
