IC222 ~ Ginko Papers {03-06-10}

Itsapassion · 03-05-2010, 07:02 PM

Hi All!

Stepping in for Stephanie this week! She'll be back to dazzle and inspire you again next week!!

Meanwhile, this week's Inspiration Challenge website is Ginko Papers . The fun and whimsical items throughout the store are contemporary and Asian inspired! Seems like every time I looked through the pages I'd find something else that made me smile. The owner writes that "when we travel to Japan, a country as much in love with paper as I am, I end up spending hours in the stationary section of the department stores...I wanted to bring all those unique items together for you in one place. Here they are! May your search through them be as fun as my search in gathering them."

So please enjoy your surfing through the Ginko Papers website and hopefully you'll find something that inspires you to create! I've attached a few of my favorite inspiration pieces below for you to use, but feel free to browse the web store and find your own particular inspiration!

Use the keyword: IC222 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ With Love

Link to IC222 Gallery

How to Play ~ View the attached images and/or browse the suggested website. 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 on -- 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 filling in with a challenge today. Inspiration challenges are difficult for me - I guess my imagination is lacking. But it does not stop me from trying!

I LOVED that site - we always go to the Japanese Cultural Centre any time we are in Paris, and browsing the site brought back memories.
