IC138 ~ Website Design (07-26-08}
Inspiration Challenge 138 ~ Website Design
This week's inspiration challenge is a little different ... I want to you to find inspiration in a website design ... not the content or posts on the website or blog ... but the actual design of website itself (header, colors, layout).
You may want to use your own blog as inspiration ... or the blog of a friend. I found my inspiration in this fun website by Radiant Plumbing.
Here are links to several galleries of possible inspiration.
Flickr Gallery
Web Creme
Remember ... inspiration is everywhere ... you just have keep your eyes open ... and most of all ... have fun!
I uploaded three of my favorite images ( Radiant Plumbing, Lucy Blackmore, & How About Orange...) but feel free to be inspired by any website you find… just make sure you provide a link to your inspiration when you upload. Also, please make something new for the challenge.
Make sure you use the keyword: IC138 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
My sample ~ Mosaic Blooms
IC138 Gallery
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

This is awesome. I know what I want to use. If we know a blog that we love the header she used can we be inspired by that? It would just be the picture in her header. Does that count??

Being inspired by the header would work perfectly ... anything in the website design.

That is the coolest header for a plumber website!
I may do a little hunting in the morning.
Thanks for the creative challenge!

I can't get past the plumber's website ... You KNOW a woman designed that. I love it. And I love your inspiration taken from it, Stef... I'm not sure I even know how to search out blogs, other than those ID'd here ... Will have to see what I can find ...

What a fun challenge, Stef! I also wanted to post a sneak peek at some new images by Treehouse Stamps - so I googled We Three Kings, Christmas and came up with the perfect site. Thanks for posting!

What a unique and fun challenge, Stef!
I ended up using my own blog as inspiration, cuz I just couldn't get the colors out of my head! Sometimes you just gotta go with it!
Here it is:

Loved this challenge Stephanie. I must have looked at 50 blogs but came back to your Orange one. It is fantastic. Thanks for a great challenge...

Here's my card: Judy's Inspiration by cullenwr at Splitcoaststampers which was based on Judy Rozema's header on her website: http://jarfullofjoy.blogspot.com/. My lavender tones don't show up in the photo so it looks much better in real life. Didn't think I had time for this challenge today, but couldn't resist. :-)
