I whipped up this cute card. I had extra pieces, so this came together easily. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My finished card size is a 5x5 top folding card. I used a piece of white cardstock for my base. I then used the same blue cardstock for the pockets as a base mat. On top of that I layered some Doodlebug patterned flowers paper, a strip of some of the bright green paper in the same pad. I then used the Wacky Stitched square for another base and then some more Doodlebug patterned paper for a mat. I set my sweet little bunny in her pocket on top of that. I did add a little foam tape to the back of the die cuts to give them just a bit of lift and dimension.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqVpG0y9BFXycyJ5ND909kJ7519mLTLKYZvq5mt72i82BZ-4RZW7sCWXWZcaVWV6TntsCed1P68mSur9JC59lbIReF79T6o2mVjyOJX1tsUBqjOxPE9ssLUHvUzFPkK4cMSXAkrkA5gD-Ibe1RJV8Faed2MflcGpcpxHhjgW-G0oWTmi9GeQ=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqVpG0y9BFXycyJ5ND909kJ7519mLTLKYZvq5mt72i82BZ-4RZW7sCWXWZcaVWV6TntsCed1P68mSur9JC59lbIReF79T6o2mVjyOJX1tsUBqjOxPE9ssLUHvUzFPkK4cMSXAkrkA5gD-Ibe1RJV8Faed2MflcGpcpxHhjgW-G0oWTmi9GeQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here is a side view.

I'd like to say a big Thank you to everyone who has posted on my 'Would you like to be featured on Inspirational' post and for everyone that has emailed, I am getting through all the replies slowly but surely, I will also be asking for new people to join the Inspirational Team so look out for that in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime though please go and check out Ann's lovely Blog <a href="http://misismac.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>

Amber has been scrapbooking for 20 something years but today I call her an expert and one of the fastest up and coming crafters out there. She is dedicated to whatever endeavor she embarks on. She is a country girl, married, a RN Pediatric nurse, farmer, gardner and scrapper. I'm going to share some of my favorite projects.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VKlhHdfC-KU/TwDlldTaMpI/AAAAAAAAE_4/djP4cvzjQ9M/s1600/ambergoble3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="273" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VKlhHdfC-KU/TwDlldTaMpI/AAAAAAAAE_4/djP4cvzjQ9M/s320/ambergoble3.jpg" /></a></div><br />

There is no way I could show all of her projects that are worthy so take a look at her blog and be blown away as I am. <a href="http://thecountryscrapper.blogspot.com/">The Country Scrapper</a><br />

Amber has been and is on many design teams on which she excells. Visit her little country...scrappy...wonderful home on the web. I expect 2012 will be an even scrappier year for her.

I visited Holland this time and loved Ellen's blog which has a real vintage feel and such beautifully crafted items. Loved the pin cushion and paper flowers. Ellen is a real talent and has such a range of projects from cards to lavender sachets. She also uses some of my most favourite bears The Tatty Teddys, I have a small collection of them at home myself. So if you want some crafty inspiration, take some time and visit Ellen <a href="http://sentimentje.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626718430511029858" style="DISPLAY: block;

I'm on a roll this weekend folks, another fabulous blog to feature. This time from Debbie in the US. Lots of beautiful layouts to show you and it was soooo hard to choose which ones to feature. There is vintage, modern candy colours and some great family photos. I absolutely loved the "journaling clouds" on her Measure Time in Moments layout. Her use of layers and fun elements from the gramophone to the gum ball machine.

Well, here is a blog I could not pass by - <a href="http://leeanniszentangleiing.weebly.com/index.html">LeeAnn's Zentangling Fun</a>. I recently found zentangling, and am totally hooked, but LeeAnn is a master as far as I am concerned. However, she would not agree because she is so modest. She was born in a rural western town in the United States, and always wanted to be a mum. Well now she IS a mother of 12 and grandmother of 5, soon to be 6. But most of all she is an artist, and zentangling has become her passion. Below, is a typical black and white piece, and she does many of these, as this is the traditional format. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMPMzyfJRBgFWw10B6dDfRyUat_voUsqOQDZFcRH9iZkc7yhKkkPTiKECR8hh0jd6u07jqH6gjDq4BqXTYfwRM5i1p2OlTDVVIkXJH-_A1sEqSCDk7vIW4LAW7Owbxfrdi7OQwIYxbUU/s1600/leeann1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMMPMzyfJRBgFWw10B6dDfRyUat_voUsqOQDZFcRH9iZkc7yhKkkPTiKECR8hh0jd6u07jqH6gjDq4BqXTYfwRM5i1p2OlTDVVIkXJH-_A1sEqSCDk7vIW4LAW7Owbxfrdi7OQwIYxbUU/s400/leeann1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This piece is so full and vibrant, free but controlled. LeeAnn has dabbled in many forms of art over the years , such as sculpting porcelain dolls, calligraphy and watercolours, and now several of her children have taken up art in different forms. She says it has just become part of their lives.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

She says <em>"zentangling is a perfect place for me. It is relaxing and fun. It is actually fun to produce something you love when you doodle. I had been throwing my doodles away for years, they were not taken seriously... just a pastime. Now they are a form of art".</em> Because she is a busy person, like the rest of us, she particularly likes it that she can spend a relatively short amount of time to be productive. She admits to being <em>"a bit obsessed at the moment"!! </em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I really hope you take the time to go and have another look at her work. She says <em>"so my encouragement to any of you who have enjoyed my work... pick up your pens and join zentangle land.
