IC414 ~ Christmas Ideas by Laurel Seabrook {11-09-13}
I am so excited to kick off a themed Inspiration Challenge this week...our theme being Christmas (or Holiday) Ideas . Since this weeks site is Christmas themed, we are hoping this will be a good excuse to help us get a head start on our holiday cards (LOL). Although, please feel free to be inspired to create something that has nothing to do with Christmas too!
Please remember that all inspiration links should be inspired by images from the Christmas Ideas by Laurel Seabrook board. It can be challenging to get the URL for Pinterest images, so if you're not sure how to get the URL for your link, here is a helpful video:
Use the keyword: IC414 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many images to choose from, I've uploaded five of my favorites � so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger. Please let us know which photo served as your inspiration piece please.
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.
Audrie and Lee Ann, your cards were a wonderful inspiration for Laurel Seabrook's Pinterest board. I found my joy in
a heart warming scene right out the front door.
Stop by when you have a chance!

I've looked at everyone else's cards so far, and just let me say that everything on here is a work of art! You guys all rock! I can't wait to comment later and see what other lovely creations pop up. Have a Great Day!

Awesome site! I was inspired by the Christmas Cheer tag - with its slightly less traditional theme, red embellishments, and tag for a sentiment. I used Rubberhedgehog's hedgie stamp- and paired it with a SU tag from a stamping buddy- and added red polka dotted washi tape, pink and red herringbone corners, and red embellies. Here's my With Love tag - will use it as a gift tag

Wonderful Inspiration Challenge, Audrie! Great find Lee Ann!! I found this delightful snowflake wreath - wouldn't it be nice to create a snowflake tree?
Whoa, boy! I am sunk! That board is just wonderful! I got sidetracked looking for great Christmas ideas instead of inspiration for a card. I'll see what I can do... ;)
