IC300 ~ Pomegranate Inc. {09-03-11}

Inspiration Challenge 300 ~ Pomegranate Inc.

300 Inspiration Challenges � what a milestone. I�ve had so much fun finding inspiration every week � and can�t wait for many more weeks of Inspiration Challenge fun. I�ve asked my super guest hostess with the mostest Anne (Itsapassion) to join me for the festivities this week.

This week�s Inspiration Challenge site is Pomegranate Inc. Nestled in the heart of Lexington, Kentucky horse country, Pomegranate Inc. has been bringing versatile, sophisticated and fun linens, kitchen accessories, and totes to the market for over 16 years. Pomegranate�s bold color, graphic prints and ethnic influences come from founder Angela�s love of nature, traveling and spending time with her family.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I�ve uploaded five 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 item from Pomegranate Inc. that inspired you (you can link to pages, but no individual items, so just tell us where you item is located on that page).

Use the keyword: IC300 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Itsapassion�s sample ~ Linen Butterfly

My sample ~ Love Life

IC300 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.
