Welcome, friends! It's a special day at Inspired By today, as we
celebrate National Love People Day and invite some of our best crafty friends to play along with us this week. Guess what?
We want YOU to invite a friend to play along with you, too!!
One of the best things about being friends with another crafter, is the bounty of supplies you have at hand! I mean, come on, we can't OWN it all!!
Last month, my friend Marcia brought along her Geranium dies from The Greetery - the moment I set eyes on them, I knew they'd be perfect for this week's
Christmas #IB189C at Inspired By...
tell me if you agree...
I used a good ol' favorite die from W&W for the panel, and for cutting
that little napkin from a scrap of dp.
PTI is responsible for the Christmas greenery, and the greeting, stamped on a little
Altenew Apothecary label - a perfect fit, if you ask me!
Here's her closeup:
You may or may not have noticed the 'swipe' of silver ink on this pot.
Thanks, Marcia, for lending me that die set - it's going to be hard to add color to the others! I love them so much in white! And thanks for hanging out with me and our friends at IB today!
I hope you are inspired to play along this week! For even more inspiration for IB189 please come see what my teammates have made - absolutely gorgeous cards, as usual! and all our other friends have blown our minds with theirs, too!

As always, your ability to interpret a sketch is exceptional! I love everything about this card, and won't forget how beautiful those geraniums are in white. The swipes of silver on the container are another of your brilliant ideas!
These geraniums are AWESOME, Michele! The white blooms show so beautifully with the greenery and bucket! Something else to add to my wishlist.
I love these in white...can smell them from here. I have been looking at sets from the Greetery but never imagined keeping the blossoms white....so perfect with the gray shades. This is a great card, Michele.
It is a good thing I didn't lay eyes on this card after I gave Cindy mine I would have screamed for a do-over! Superb in every way! The geraniums are so fabulous! I think you should start a Challenge site called...Playing Cards! I would so play along!
You know that I'll never be able to look at that Geranium die without seeing your beautiful white flowers with the touch of peciled in green again, right?!! Your card is STUNNING Michele and I absolutely LOVE it!! 🤍🤍🤍 Thanks soooo much for inviting me to play along with you my friend...crafting buddies really are the best!! 😊❤
Absolutely gorgeous as always, love the silver swipe and the beautiful white Geraniums!!
What a beautiful card! You nailed the inspiration photo! I love your arrangement of the geraniums with the greenery and buffalo check!
So happy to be joining all of you talented ladies for the Inspired By challenge.
Those die cuts are fabulous and I love the flowers in white! The pot is just perfect swiped in silver sitting on that sweet napkin! So glad you invited friends to come and play this week!
Awesome inspired card. How fun you get to share products with friends. Thanks for having me guest today 😀
Wanted those geraniums but didn't get them. They are marvelous in white and that pot is the perfect container for them. This is such a beautiful card, Michele.
OH MY Goodness, Michele, these are stunning! Love the bit of color added to the centers BUT you're right -- they're perfect all alone! Love the planter too
I often see you posts and don't make a comment, but today I had to tell you how beautiful your card is!!...it's a WOW card, but so are many of your cards. Thanks for sharing your talent and creatively!
I AGREE! Those pretty white blooms and the bits of Christmas greenery just make my heart go pitter pat! This is beautiful, Michele. I also agree that crafty friends are the best XO
GORGEOUS! From the table cloth to the flower pot and then the gorgeous flowers themselves...I love it all!
Oh, those geraniums are so perfect for this inspiration photo! And who would have thought that Christmas greenery would be an amazing companion for a geranium! I love the way you always think outside the box, and end up with such a fabulous card! Love your work!!!
