Color Me Inspired

Moving on Up

2009-08-26T20:38:00.000-07:00

It's official. Color Me Inspired, the blog, has been moved to Pretty City Sweets.

Same owner, same creative mind, just some new direction.

Come see me here.

Happy Blogging!

NEW NEW NEW!

Not sure how many followers I have left on this blog, but if there are any, I am switching over to:

See you there!

I love Us.

2009-07-08T09:25:00.001-07:00

Happy Anniversary to us.

The perfect definition of the kind of love that we share...

I love us.

Mmmmmmm......

2009-06-18T13:33:00.000-07:00

There's are few things that are more calming and comforting than a perfectly decorated, delicious cupcake.

Oh Texas, My Texas...

2009-06-04T08:34:00.000-07:00

I'll be in Texas for a week!

Stale Peeps

2009-05-26T12:09:00.000-07:00

I don't care what you say or how you would look at me when I tell you this, but I've recently discovered that I'm NOT the only one who thinks that the beloved Easter marshmallow treats known as "Peeps" are just better stale.

Right about now should be perfect.

Live What You Love

2009-05-26T12:07:00.001-07:00

Thankfully, I have the amazing privilege to "live what I love" in my life. I have a God who loves me and blesses me so far beyond what I deserve, I have an amazing husband who makes my world a secure place full of love and support. He's a man of integrity who leads me spiritually, helps me to grow and makes me smile like no one else can. (Not to mention, he's hot, has huge muscles and lots of sexy tattoos!) I now have a precious son and is the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on. I have discovered such a deeper level of love since he came into my life. Because of Malakai, I am now only having to go back to work part-time. I get paid to be an artist, which I LOVE. I get paid to be creative and design for a church and minitry that impacts thousands of lives on a weekly basis. On top of that, I am a worship leader, which is a calling and an honor that I do not take lightly. I even love what my husband does for a living. I love my family. I love my house. I love that we are blessed enough for me to be able to have hobbies. Some days I get distracted by the clouds in the sky, but when it comes down to it, I really do get to live what I love and who could really ask for more???

So, after a long hiatus, ColorMeInspired.blogspot.com is up and running again.

I'm feeling very inspired these days and am always excited to share what grabs my attentions and influences my thoughts, my work, my art and overall, my life!

A REALLY good excuse

2008-11-07T07:52:00.000-08:00

There IS a perfectly good reason for the sudden and complete lack of creative blogging! That reason is that there appears to be a little life growing inside of me!!! Me and Seth are SO excited! Now that I'm showing and I can feel some movement it's just all hitting home. I am in my 18th week and will be finding out the sex of the baby in 3 weeks, just in time for some holiday shopping! They're never too young for you to teach them how to shop. Here are some pics from this past week. My stomach literally appeared out of nowhere! The weird part is, as large as my stomach is getting, I HAVEN'T GAINED MORE THAN ONE POUND!!! I know the weight gain will come, but I'm glad I have a handle on it and am not out of control. We are due April 23! So... more details to come. I am headed to Cincinnati this weekend to visit the Creation Museum and to do some shopping of course!

Here are some pictures...

SERIOUSLY, this thing popped out overnight!

This is me being VERY happy!!!!

Some Bonding time!!!

It's growing!!!

I already started decorating for Christmas, things are just too busy in November to wait. I also decorated my cats. They didn't like it much but they will thank me after this week's cold front!

Fall is upon us! The trees this year are just amazing!

From skylines... to corn???

2008-08-20T10:13:00.000-07:00

In case you've ever wondered how the landscape and scenery differs from Texas:

One word: CORN!
(the real kind of corn...that's taller than me)

=)

So Ready!

2008-08-20T09:36:00.000-07:00

I am SO ready to take my daily necessities from iced drinks, sun glasses and sarongs to cover my bathing suits....

to closed toe shoes, light scarves and darker colored purses!

I think I'm going to throw a welcome Party for Fall! Who's in?!

I want:

This Week's Creations

2008-08-14T13:14:00.000-07:00

I am loving the transition into Graphic Design. I am still learning, but it's becoming easier and easier. I can pretty much do all of the basics just fine, it's all of the infinite amount of crazy details that you can add to something, that I get caught up on. Regardless, it's something that I can really see shaping my future in creative arts.

This past week's creations:

This was for a series that Seth is doing for youth called "Reach" ...the sermon about the zombies was interesting, but amazing... as always! I am SO proud of Seth. I've been around preachers and youth pastors my entire life and have been exposed to some pretty awesome ones, but Seth just tops the charts. He's definitely doing what he was created to do... that's for sure.

This is a postcard I quickly threw together for my boss at the Centralia Branch of the church.

This was something that I did to practice:

A Little Thing I Like to Call "Promotion"

2008-08-07T13:39:00.000-07:00

Some people may not know this, but long before my husband Seth was doing youth ministry he was a graphic designer. (A VERY talented graphic designer actually.) Since Seth has worked for the church, he has been the “Director of Creative Arts” which basically means he is over all of the media aspects of the church. From the graphic design, the video, lights, and any other digital production. He also is always working on some freelance stuff in his very minimal spare time. When Seth does something he puts every ounce of himself into it, and as a result it stretches his talent and constantly takes it to new levels and he just becomes very knowledgeable and efficient in those certain areas. For a while now it has been harder for him to maintain the Creative Arts Department because of the growth of the youth group. We are currently running anywhere between 60 and 90 students and it is just becoming more and more consuming and as a result, more difficult for him to do both jobs.

Well, on the other side, I have struggled since I moved here on finding a way to release all of this creative energy that I get all built up. I work in an administrative position at the church, which I love and am so thankful for, but it is definitely not an area that I am super passionate about. I was talking to my boss the other day and we both had this huge epiphany. It was one of those things where you wonder why the heck you hadn’t thought of it already. So basically my gifts all center around fine arts and creative arts. I can do other things, and I do, but I thrive in the creative and artistic arenas. I am already pretty heavily involved in the Fine Arts departments here at the church, but being a worship leader that basically comes by default. Still, the majority of my energy goes towards being an administrative assistant, and the journalism, but it is not what I am passionate about. I am passionate about art and inspiration, self expression and creating connections for people. So as of this past week, the door has been opened for me to do this in my workplace. I am being moved from an administrative position to a more fitting position in the Creative Arts Department as a graphic designer. I see it as an incredible promotion. As a result, I have spent many hours lately learning all of the software and am just about efficient enough to make the official transition. I am very excited about this. I love that my leadership believes in cultivating the gifts that God has given you rather than throwing you into an area that you don’t have a heart for. In the middle of all of this I also got given a big project that I am super excited about. We are starting a media driven church newsletter/magazine and it is now “my baby.” I guess I will more or less be an executive editor over it... whatever you want to call it, I am totally thrilled about it and honored to be placed in charge of such a big project. God is already opening some amazing doors through this new found skill and passion and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

So I’m still at the beginner level, but here’s a couple of my Photoshop creations. I’ve mostly been doing personal things while I learn. Today was the first day for me to venture into my already growing to-list at church… I’m sure I will continue to use my new knowledge for personal use and I might possibly post some of my church work here and there.

These are some banners I made, I just couldn't get the top one to the point that I wanted it, so I am obviously currently using the black one.

For the Love of Thursday

2008-08-07T09:55:00.000-07:00

No rhyme or reason to my post today, just a few things that caught me eye and made my heart smile...

These two perfectly dramatic Anthropologie ads. I have been able to visit the Anthropologie in St Louis quite often as of lately and for that, I am very thankful. . A visit to Anthropologie is charming enough, but as of lately I've been able to make some beautiful purchases and that's one sure way to have a wonderful day!

I just liked this.

I could relate to this precious, but angry little red-head.

And I think everyone needs to hear this at one point or another.
Give it time... everything will be okay.

Yay Me!

2008-08-06T13:57:00.000-07:00

Yes, I made my new banner all by myself on Photoshop. =) I made another one and just was not happy with it. I might post it just to let you see. I'm pretty sure all will agree that the one I chose is the better of the two.

I still have a lot to learn, but from what I'm being told, I'm doing great for only being a Photoshop student for a week. Yay me!

Just to Name a Few...

2008-07-31T09:13:00.000-07:00

...things that make me smile...

always young at heart

2008-07-28T16:21:00.000-07:00

I hope I'm still doing these sorts of things when I'm this young...

Framed!

2008-07-24T11:48:00.000-07:00

I've been working on a few DIY projects that look quite similar to these. I knew what I wanted it to look like, but didn't have a picture to go off of until I saw these off of Decor8.

When this sort of thing happens (finding the picture AFTER the inspiration) it gives me this soft sense of connection, which in return only fans the flame of my creativity!

I love it!

Mastering the Art of "Messy Hair"

2008-07-24T11:33:00.000-07:00

It's harder than it looks...
but the longer hair has added what was missing for so long.

To-do List:

2008-07-22T13:47:00.001-07:00

Things on my to-do list:

(clockwise from top right)

1.) Get a hair cut… or maybe I should say trim. It’s the longest it’s been since high school and I am loving it, but it is way past time for a trim. I might settle for some new bangs or something. I think a fresh shape will help inspire me in many different ways.

2.) Start taking more pictures again. I’ve hit a lull, and I’m not sure why. But it makes me feel connected to the world... which is a good feeling.

3.) Find some new music that I love.

4.) Give voice lessons again. I have the students, I just need to make the calls and schedule them.

5.) Finish my house. The living room is basically done. The Kitchen is 99% completed. The main bathroom needs wall paper peeled, needs texture, I need to decide on a color scheme, paint, and get creative with the décor! This item on the to-do list also includes my DIY projects that involve refinishing a couple pieces of furniture, painting and freshening up some rummage sale finds and finding a creative way to display wedding pictures in our new home.

6.) Get really good at baking. I’ll just start off with one recipe, get really good at that one, and then go from there.

7.) Start going on walks with my husband. It’s something he enjoys, and something I would just assume put at the bottom of my list. I need to stop being so selfish.

8.) Look into scrap booking. It’s really big here and although most places are void of creativity in this mundane town, there are at least 2 or 3 nice sized scrapbooking stores. I’ve always been skeptical of this hobby, but I may find great creative release in this. We shall see. I will start by actually stepping foot in one of the stores.

9.) Find ways to de-stress. No explanation needed.

10) Learn how to make Grand-ma B’s homemade jelly. (Seth’s Grandma Baltzell, who is 91, lives by herself, is on no medication, is famous for her strawberry and blackberry jelly, has put mayonnaise on her face every night for the past 20 years because she read in a magazine that it’s good for it, and still doesn’t look a day over 70)

11.) Improve my skills in my 3 “P” areas….Prayer, Piano, and Photoshop

12.) Start Reading… and writing… something…anything… at least once a day.

bassically...

2008-07-15T13:25:00.001-07:00

I don't know if it's summer, the heat (which really hasn’t been to terribly bad at all), or the fact that I need a haircut, but I am feeling uninspired. I have been here before and I know it will pass.

I read something along thse lines that I completely connected to, so I re-wrote it in my own words. Maybe I'm not so much of and optimistas I am just full of hope. I think this must just be a refueling time for me. I'm always storing up ideas, I just have no desire to spill them onto my computer and then on my blog. Maybe it's because for the first time in my life, I am giving more than receiving? This isn't a bad thing, just a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be. With this comes the fact that I’m busier than I’ve ever been in my life. I guess I need to browse, read, watch some movies, talk to old friends, learn something new and just sit for a while… when I get time of course.

Let's just see where this goes.

In the meantime I’m going to get a bit trimmed off my hair… just in case.

Jimmy Choo Shoes

2008-06-26T13:14:00.000-07:00

Jimmy Choo Shoes are simply fabuous.

I believe it was Court who introduced this amazing shoe line to me a while ago and my wardrobe have never been the same.

Although Mr. Choo is not the actual designer, his name alone makes this the perfect shoe.

playing catch up!

2008-06-25T07:16:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted much on here lately. It's definitely not from a lack of creativity, one thing I do make time for every day is searching for and discovering creative inspiration. Life has just been ridiculously hectic. I don't ever remember a time in my life where I was this busy. I look at this as a good thing, I am learning to handle more things at once and my life is constantly growing in one way or another! With the newest growth spurt I have become overly dependent on this little miracle that we like to call the coffee bean... so I thought what better way to get back in the swing of things than to give a tribute to this little guy!

Before...

and after....

Close to my Heart

2008-06-04T07:45:00.001-07:00

Belize, Central America was devastated early Sunday morning by Tropical Storm Arthur. This was the storm that developed from the remnants of Tropical Storm Alma, which hit Nicaragua on the Pacific Coast earlier in the week. Most Belize residents are reporting that this is the first time they have seen such a devastating storm in their lifetime, including the occurrence of tornadoes. Over 12 inches of rain fell across the country, swelling rivers out of their banks. Most of the major roads and bridges are totally destroyed, which has made it impossible to get to the hardest-hit areas by land. The banana, citrus and shrimp industries have been destroyed. The oil industry is shut down because access to the deep water port at Independence Village has been cut off.

Sadly, Gales Point, the village of our dear friend, Pastor Lloyd Welch, was also almost totally destroyed. This place is very dear and precious to me and the teams that have traveled to Belize with us over the years. I have done missions work there for years, and have many other friends there.

The nephew of Baptist pastor Chester Ritchie watched helplessly as the flood waters swept away his wife, his 14-year old daughter and 11 year-old son. Their lifeless bodies were discovered hours later. Other lives have been lost, and several bodies have yet to be recovered.

Parts of Belize were greatly affected by a hurricane just last year. Emergency calls are going out for food, water, clothing and medicine. If I can raise the support, we can bring a team there immediately to assist.

Please pray for Belize, Pastor Welch, and the massive relief effort that is already underway. If you want to help tangibly, we will be sure to direct it to the heart of the need. Communication is difficult, but I will keep you posted as more information is made available.

These were taken at Gales Point, the peninsula mentioned above, that is without a doubt one of my most favorite places in the world. I have found enough peace, humility, and clarity on that small strip of peninsula to last me a lifetime.

Happy Pills

2008-06-04T07:04:00.000-07:00

How amazingly fun and refreshing does this place look? Today would be a perfect day for a visit, if only I lived on the other side of the world...

For Mom:

2008-05-21T08:25:00.000-07:00

Things have been a little crazy around here. WE close on our house tomorrow and after I unpack, get organized and decorate, I should find a little more time to focus on releasing all of this creative energy of mine. Hopefully the decorating and painting and getting settled in will promote some positive creativity.

I has every intention of having a blog dedicated to my mom on Mother's Day, but just never found the time, so here it is... even though I'm a bit late, I can't pass up the opportunity to post some pictures that remind me of my mom. My mom has a very distinctive preference and taste. It is from here I learned to love all things girly. My childhood was saturated with pinks and purples... ruffles and bows... princesses and fairy's... lipstick and purses... anything that was saturated in femininity.

We share the same mindset that we were both born in the wrong era. Big frilly and poofy romantic dresses captivate us and instigate day dreaming of royal balls, waltzes and Prince Charmings. We both found our Prince Charmings now, so we really can't complain.

It is a well known fact to those who love her that she does not just have a "sweet tooth", she has SEVERAL sweet teeth... like a whole mouth full... which is yet another thing she passed along to me.

And then there's purple... which I told myself my entire life I would NEVER love as much as mom, or even close. I got so sick of seeing it as a teenager everywhere I turned in out house there was a hint... or barrage of purple. Tastefully done of course, but I still told myself I would NEVER... and well never say never. Deep purple is a main color in my new house. =)

I pretty much love and adore her.

showers that sing

2008-05-15T11:20:00.000-07:00

Oh-my-gosh! Anthropologie is just one of the best things that have ever happened to me. Not trying to sound shallow here... I mean, it's definitely under my Faith, my husband, Family and friends, and even under my amazing joband many more components of my life... but I would dare to say that it's on the top 100 list of favorite things.

Here are some of their bathroom items right now. I found this collage on decor8 and I am most crazy about the ruffled shower curtain... it's just so blissful! If you listen closely, I bet you can hear it singing a pretty song to you! =)

Happy Thursday!

when it breaks...

2008-05-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

and while you're at it...

2008-04-30T12:59:00.001-07:00

And while your at it, go ahead and order some of these fab Sarah Cihat dishes to eat your grilled cheese on...

yummy!

2008-04-30T11:48:00.000-07:00

I just found this on another blog and I can hardly contain myself!

Well, April is pretty much over but before we let it go I think that we should acknowledge one thing. April seems to get a lot of talk about it's showers that brings May flowers, but did you know that April is Grilled Cheese Month?! Well, according to this website, April is just that.
I am thrilled to find out about this, and the only complaint I might have is that I found out about it a little late.

Click here for tons of yummy grilled cheese recipes to celebrate with!

A Post-it's Best Friend

2008-04-23T07:07:00.000-07:00

In decorating my new office I have been desperately looking for a bulletin board that would fit into a certain dimension on an angled wall. This area of wall and the twenty something post-it notes that are all over my desk are just begging for a bulletin board. Well as of today... problem solved. These bulletin boards are so pretty and unique. Little Pretty Studio at Etsy created a very innovative design on a forever classic item that will soon be making an appearance on my new office wall.

and we can't forget....

Check out this tea-friendly mug called, the pouch mug.

It's a little something that only a true tea enthusiast will appreciate.

I need some...

2008-04-20T14:08:00.001-07:00

I'm gonna sing this song
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you're like me
You need hope, coffee, and melody
So sit back down
Let the world keep spinning ‘round
For yesterday's gone and today is waiting on you to show your face

It might not be
The prettiest thing that you'll ever see
But it’s a new day, oh baby, it’s a new day
And it might not look like
A beautiful sunrise
But it's a new day, oh baby, it’s a new day

I’m a pilgrim soul
I've traveled far and come back home
This land is hard and cold
For those who long to love
And I know it might seem
That the world is crumbling
But it’s me and you dancing in the kitchen at 2 am
And we're still alive

It’s the calm of the storm that comes blowing in
It’s the springtime saying I'm back again
The clouds that roll by
Crossing moonlight
Me and you love – everything's alright
Standing in the rain with nowhere to go
Laughing and we're spinning and I hope that you
Remember this day
For the rest of your life
Me and you love – everything’s gonna be alright

And it just might be
The prettiest thing that you'll ever see
It’s a new day
Oh baby, it’s a new day
If you look outside
To see a beautiful sunrise
It’s a new day

(New Day, by: The Robbie Seay Band)

a colorful life

The only problem with being a colorful free spirit is that sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe... other than that, it's fabulous.

2008-03-26T10:04:00.001-07:00

I am looking for unique but classy color schemes for our new house... for any and every room...

Any ideas???

I have a few things floating around in my head, but I would love some input!

old navy strikes again

2008-03-26T09:48:00.000-07:00

It appears that old navy has jumped on the enameled bangle bandwagon.

cute + cheap = yay!

"Hoppy" (late) Easter!

Easter Edibles

2008-03-25T15:33:00.000-07:00

A little late...

2008-03-25T15:19:00.000-07:00

Because of my ridiculously crazy week leading up to Easter I wasn’t able to post one single blog! (If you want to know the whole story, feel free to check it out at sethandkaris.blogspot.com)

There were some pretty major last minute events that came up that I had to be at that required quite a bit of traveling and a lot of last minute planning and not to mention a VERY inconvenient sprained ankle that requires crutches, ice and elevation. Even though Easter is gone now, I am still going to post some mini versions of what the posts leading up to Easter would have looked like. Easter is one of my favorite times of year… mainly because of the plethora of candy and chocolate is various shapes, flavors and colors. I definitely got my mother’s sweet tooth. Even though on Easter Sunday it snowed off and on all day here, Easter is the defining event where my winter wardrobe can fade into my spring wardrobe, which means skirts, light colors, open and strappy shoes and tank tops become a part of my decision making process every morning. This great shift of the wardrobes excites me immensely. Then there is the ever present nostalgia of every holiday. For me it take me back to frilly dresses and hats, frilly socks and purses, egg hunts, egg decorating, all things candy, those awesome inflatable bunnies that seemed to be present at every Easter as a child. So even though it’s a little late, the next few blogs will all be pictures that caught my eye and inspired me this Easter season.

Dishes to Runaway With

2008-03-13T16:10:00.000-07:00

The dishes that we registered for when we got married were given to us at one of our showers and they are stunning! They are being ever so wonderfully displayed in our antique china hutch in the dining room.

These dishes and china sets definitely rank right up there with ours... Each one caught my attention at a glance. I love them and wish I had a hutch big enough for them all!

What I need right now...

2008-03-11T20:25:00.000-07:00

...a nap would be nice. yeah. a nap.

Things will have more of a pattern after April 6.

Precious Stones

2008-03-07T13:12:00.001-08:00

Some of these pieces might seem to be more geared towards the winter and holiday months, BUT I would gladly take on the challenge of pairing them with just the right pieces in order to make them function all year round.

Anyone that knows me well will not be surprised that this theme caught my eye. A lot of the “I saw something and thought of you” comments that I have received over the past few years were based on items such as these. Anything with sparkle, color, and classiness all rolled up into one will definitely catch my eye and more than likely bring a smile to my face.

Target is on a roll!

I read today that Target is partnering up with renowned accessories designer Joy Gryson for its next limited-edition accessories line. The Gryson for Target collection includes a variety of classy chic handbags that encompass the designer’s signature mix of luxury and functionality.

The line will be available at select Target stores nationwide and at Target.com April 6, 2008 through June 21, 2008 with prices ranging from $19.99 to $49.99.

I have admired this jewelry line by Dominique Cohen for Target now for a few months, and it is now on sale for a fabulous 75% off! Check it out online and in stores. I just ordered both of these bangles today... just in time to add them to my spring wardrobe that I'm currently working on.

New Day in Need of New Energy

With the gloom and laziness of yesterday looming over me today, I thought I would post just some random bright and energetic things that caught my eye...

Snow Day Inspiration

2008-03-04T12:21:00.000-08:00

It's a snow day. Me and Seth couldn't drive out to the church today because of the roads. Normally I would spend the day cleaning my house and organizing, but the house is clean, and I'm as organized as I am going to be before our move.

A day this gloomy and cold is just begging for a pair of sweat pants, a warm blanket, a book(and/or laptop), a well writing pen and journal, and a calm cup of hot tea, or a good old comforting cup of coffee.

Favorite sweats: Victoria's secret PINK "boyfriend sweats"

Current book: Time management for the Creative Person by: Lee Silber

Background noise: The movie, That Thing You Do

My Journal: I have so many that I love... but I just started a new themed journal in a handmade journal from Nepal, made of totally raw materials that is eco-friendly and uniquely beautiful. (in this journal i use only pencils and paints... no ink)

Coffee: Starbucks whole bean house blend... I grounded it of course.

Tea: my choice of tea for later will be a chai blend with a touch of cream and one splenda.

Inspiring me for today are the following:

My dishes...

Look at all of the options...
(Republic of Teas on the left... which I highly recommend.)

Abandoned in the snow, bless it's heart...

Looks like my table.

She doesn't like tea... or coffee, but I miss my mom, Cindy.

Stay warm. Stay inspired.
