The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight ~103~

Happy Friday creative friends! I’m so happy that you stopped by because as always, there are beautiful featured projects to see today. Here in the United States, it’s a holiday weekend. On Monday we honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country. The 3- day weekend also unofficially marks the beginning of summer. Are you dreaming of summer? I know I am. I can’t wait the warm slower-paced days that summer brings.

In case you didn’t have a chance to stop by this week, here’s what I shared.

Now on to the features. Thank you to everyone who linked up their projects on The Inspiration Board this week. Beautiful and amazing inspiration was shared by all. Here are a few in the spotlight this week.



A beautiful mermaid necklace by My Girlish Whims. I love the aquamarine color and how the tear drop beads dangle and catch the light.


An Extraordinary Day displays these beautiful Snowball Viburnum flowers that the wind brought to her. There’s nothing like fresh flowers to instantly brighten a room.


A gorgeous bathroom makeover by Forever Decorating. I love everything about this- the bead board wall, the lighting, the oval mirrors and vanity. But my favorite part – separate sinks. I could get used to that in my house.


Love Grows Wild created a personalized sign as a wedding gift. A beautiful subtle shade of colonial gray is the backdrop for the family name and wedding date. I’m sure it will always be a treasured keepsake.


I have to confess, I’ve never tasted rhubarb. Can you believe it? I understand it’s very tart but The Wilderness Wife has fixed that with sugar and spice and crumbles and ice cream. When I try rhubarb this is what I want – it looks fantastic.


I’m in love with this super simple no-sew top idea from Life a Little Brighter. You simply cut a large hole in a scarf to create an over blouse or flowy vest. I can’t wait to try this.


Glass etching is such a fun way to make a plain object into something unique and beautiful. Pet Scribbles used an adhesive silkscreen to achieve this pretty lace pattern. Gorgeous!


Backpacks are so handy – not just for kids but for adults too. This pretty backpack by Crystelle Boutique would be perfect for a day of shopping, a sporting event or anytime you don’t want to carry a purse. The bonus – the free downloadable pattern is available on her blog.


One of the best things about summer is the fresh produce – even better if it’s home grown. This fresh summer salsa by A Slocum Story has me dreaming about backyard gatherings, chips and margaritas.


This pomander ball is made out of sola wood flowers. Carver Junk Company has all the information about these beautiful flowers made out of wood lighter than balsa wood. Painted and pieced together they form a stunning creation perfect for a wedding. I’m in awe of this project and definitely want to get my hands on some of those sola wood flowers.
