Inspiration Challenge 250 ~ Garnet Hill

This week's Inspiration Challenge comes from Garnet Hill, one of the first full-size mail-order catalogs dedicated entirely to sharing the concept that fine natural fiber merchandise could actually be a way of life. They started by selling flannel sheets, but today are famed for their original designs, unique mix of products, and refreshing point of view.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I�ve uploaded three of my favorites � so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. The rest of you, remember to let us know which product from Garnet Hill that inspired you.

I asked Cathy (Mutnik) to join me this week to create another sample for the challenge.

Use the keyword: IC250 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Mutnik�s sample ~ tiny bird n flower

My sample ~ Peony Butterfly

IC250 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. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. 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.

I wanted to let you know that if any of you use flower stamps on this challenge, you could win a free set of My Little Poppy Shoppe stamps. We've only been a member company for 2 months here on SCS and thought this might be a good way to introduce our company to those of you who are doing SCS challenges. You don't have to use our stamps to have a chance to win. Here's a link to the post in our member gallery with more information! And here's a picture of the stamp set that you could win!

[etsdas]

Thanks, Stef, for the challenge. Inspiration challenges are among the most difficult for me, but I keep trying!
