Well we made it through the week!  It's finally Saturday!  I sure hope you have something good going on this weekend!  I'm thinking maybe a backyard barbecue.  It's been raining quite a bit here lately.  That's ok.. I like to sit outside under an awning and watch the rain fall.  How often do you get to do that?

More likely we'll be working on fixing things up in the yard so we can sit back and relax all summer.    Last weekend we put in a small fire pit.   Poor Miss Moriko - she hates the smoke.  She was born with good instincts.   It's still too early here to start on the garden.. but soon!

A new challenge begins today at Inspired by All The Little Things!   It's my week to invite a guest to play along with us and choose the inspiration photo!  I've been a fan of Kara Vrabel for some time now.  You might know her for her amazing backgrounds and for her work on the WPlus9 Design Team.   I'm lucky to have been on a DT with her - The 12 Kits of Occasions - a small group of good friends who all love to papercraft. 

Kara actually chose the inspiration photo this time.  I knew she'd pick something funky and fresh with a clean graphic style - wait until you see her card for today!

There's lots of ways you can spin this one.  I was drawn in by all those triangles and the color scheme.  I created my background using the My Favorite Things Triangle Screen.  I cut it several times in the different colors you see - off white, charcoal, orange, and yellow.

I taped the triangles in place on the reverse side of the die cut before adding pieces of  adhesive foam tape and adhering it to a panel of light grey card stock.  This is how I achieved the raised appearance and the light grey is peeking through the open holes. 

Next I topped that with a butterfly die cut from Memory Box called Fairyland Butterflies.   The bright yellow is just strong enough to stand out against that bold background.

I strategically had an area with several off white inlaid triangles that would be perfect for a small sentiment.   The Poppystamps Hip Hello fit perfectly.

To finish this off I added a few bright yellow enamel dots!  I'm really happy with this fresh clean card!  It's one of my favorites - something I would never have tried before!

Check out what Kara and the rest of the team made here at Inspired by All The Little Things!  Maybe a little push out of your comfort zone will surprise you too!
