IC213 ~ Design Spirit Studio {01-02-10}

Inspiration Challenge 213 ~ Design Spirit Studio

Design Spirit Studio features the lovely creations of Spirit Lala, an artist in McDonough, Georgia. She creates whimsical clocks and fabulous jewelry from recycled windshield glass. Her clocks made me think of the passage of time, which I thought was a perfect theme to start the New Year.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, remember to link us up to the item from Design Spirit Studio that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC213 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Settle For More

IC213 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.

Here is my SIMPLE BUTTERFLY KISSES.

[Clownmom]

Wow!!! What a great site, Stef -- you've done it again. This is why the Inspiration Challenge is my favorite of the week! After looking at all those fun clocks -- almost picking both the dragonfly and the butterfly -- I decided on the Guitar Magnet one.

Here's my card -- Guitar Hero Birthday. I have several teen-aged grandsons, one of whom will probably get this on his birthday.

[stampercamper]

I found several items that really got my creativity going! Here's the one I picked...
