IC211 ~ FabulousStationary {12-19-09}

Itsapassion · 12-18-2009, 06:37 PM

Hi All!

Stephanie needed to take time off to recover from a tonsillectomy! Our thoughts and prayers are with you Stephanie!!

I found this website, FabulousStationary, for inspiration that I hope will be fun, simple and inspiring for you! We could all use simplicity at this time of year right??

I've attached a few of my favorite inspiration pieces below for you to use or feel free to browse the web store and find your own particular inspiration!

Use the keyword: IC211 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Doodle Card

Link to IC211 Gallery

How to Play ~ View the attached image. 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 stress here!! No card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. The rules are to let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and enjoy the 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.

It seems as though I will not be able to play tonight, I can't even keep my eyes open. I guess its from not sleeping for a couple of days. Maybe tomorrow!

Oh, poor Stef. Not a fun op for adults to recover from. Mine was when I was five, and I still remember it! I'll be thinking of her. Thanks for stepping in, Anne.

hobbydujour · 12-19-2009, 04:00 AM

Thanks for filling in, Anne! This is a busy time of year. Loved your selection of inspiration site! Great graphic designs.

Stef, I hope you have a speedy recovery! That isn't an easy operation when you're past 7 years old!! : ) Take care.

Here's my card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=111573

Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Anne, for pitching in for Steph. Every time I hear that an adult has to have a tonsillectomy, I shudder. I still have my tonsils -- at age 68! Sure don't want to ever have to have that surgery!

I'm at my sister's so I have limited supplies (and an unfamiliar computer), but I did come up with something. Here's my card -- http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=72594

marilynprestonn · 12-19-2009, 08:06 AM
