IC174 ~ French Bull {04-04-09}
Inspiration Challenge 174 ~ French Bull
This week�s inspiration comes from the very fun French Bull Store. The idea for French Bull came about from a desire to create homeware products for design conscious consumers at accessible prices. French Bull�s mastery of pattern and color has come to life in a wide range of products for the modern lifestyle. I hope they inspire you.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites from the website� so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from French Bull for your inspiration � just provide a link, so we can all see what inspired you.
Use the keyword: IC174 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
My sample ~ Trivet Flower inspired by Floral Trivet Set
IC174 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). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

Thanks for the neat looking inspiration. Just got home from working at the school's carnival. I'm beat. Maybe have to wait until tomorrow to play or just skip it. I've really had a busy week and the inspiration challenge is my favorite too.

French Bulls Rock!
IC174 - French Bull Happy Birthday Swirls by Princessheather at Splitcoaststampers
So it is another one of those "I can't get to sleep because I keep thinking about card design" nights! It is about 11:30pm on Friday night and am extremely sleepy, but thought I would try to post something since I have been absent for about a week due to a demanding work schedule. It was month end closing week, which always involves lots of long hours at the office. Anyways... I kind of forgot what my point was.
Hope you like it, it's kind of messy because I was too tired to look for my embossing buddy, but you'll get the idea.
Here is my inspiration:

Awesome website, Stef. I spent more time browsing than creating I think. Here's mine:

Why won't this upload to the gallery? I've checked everything over. Keywords are right.

I can't get into the French Bull site :-(. I'll just keep trying - it's been loading for ten minutes now.
If I can't get in soon I'll just have to go with one the thumbs you've provided...
OK, I'm in at last .

I finished this about an hour and a half ago but couldn't get on SCS. Great site, Steph! I chose this Barcelona Journal for the inspiration for my Lacey Birthday.

Is anyone else having trouble with the gallery? The last card I see posted is Biggan's. None of the posts since hers shows up.

IC174 Birthday
Oh my goodness, what a splash of bright colour.
I would have loved to do something with the Harlequin diamonds, but something more colourful was called for.
Thanks as always, Stef.

Well, what awesome items to choose from. Good one, Stef. Here's mine - it's a money holder and I chose the Harlequin Table Runner for my inspiration.
Just Because
Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

Same here.
But I've been intermittently having trouble getting into SCS all morning, so maybe just everything is running slow? It does sometimes happen that challenge cards take a while to show in the gallery - but not usually more than a few minutes.

I am guessing that the gallery issues are related to the overall site issues, but I went ahead & sent a couple of e-mails to try to find out. Sorry about the problems.
