Create Together: Playing with Marcie



Happy Monday my friends. I'm starting my week off by playing with Marcie!  Marcie and I were lucky enough to meet in person this fall during our craft house weekend.  How awesome is that?  Aren't crafty friends the best?  But we don't always get to create together in person so Marcie has an awesome blog feature where she creates together with different bloggers. Today...we're playing together!  



Marcie choose this inspiration photo for us to play along with.  At first I went for that pillow thinking about the graphic design in it...but as I was thinking about my stamps it just wasn't coming together in my head.  But how about those green apples and the pattern on the coffee table?  You can see below how I translated the apples...and the numbers in the background are meant to mimic the pattern on the coffee table. Love the fabulous shades of green in the inspiration photo!


Pop on over to Marcie's blog where you'll be inspired by her colorful designs and witty sentiments!  Thanks so much for asking me to play along Marcie!

That's a great inspiration photo, and I'm so glad you got to play along with your friend! How cool is that??!! Your take on the photo is delightfully CAS, and I love that you chose those apples to work with. Using the numbers as a pattern was a brilliant idea. How fun is it to have a buddy to craft along with?! Enjoy your week. Bev
