Inspiration Challenge 55 - Retro Bathroom - IC55

This colorful and funky bathroom decor was found at Target online.

My sample -> Sweet

A special request - send a card to Judy (aka judylb) or her mom. Sadly, Judy's father passed away last Saturday. If you would like to RAK Judy's mom or Judy, please PM me or Joni (aka jstarbright) for the address. Thank you.

There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping!

REMINDER: Please put IC55 in the keywords box when you upload your card (no space b/n IC and the challenge number) . If you have more than one keyword use a comma to separate them. Thanks!

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). Thank you.

Very cool challenge, I want that bathroom!

jstarbright · 12-22-2006, 07:39 PM

That is very funky, I love the toothbrush holder. This should get the badmommy out of her stamping funk !

crazycatstamper · 12-22-2006, 07:45 PM

He he he... I saw this at Target..... Fun, but look at that shower curtain long enough and it will make your eyes hurt! LOL!

WonkaIsMyCat · 12-22-2006, 07:46 PM

oh how fun..now this is right up my alley!

Clownmom · 12-22-2006, 07:50 PM

Looks interesting -- but it's going to have to wait till morning. I'm beat!

bensarmom · 12-22-2006, 08:16 PM

Karen can't wait to try this...........it will truly challenge me since these colors are hard for me to use. I will have to work on this later today. Merry Christmas Karen. I have a card for Judy and her mom going out in the mail today. Thanks for all you're doing for them.

lacyquilter · 12-22-2006, 08:30 PM

There is absolutely NO WAY I'd put those colors in my bathroom! Or that kind of design. Now on a card - that is a whole different story. Thanks, Karen. I'll have to see if I can get one done before Christmas.

WonkaIsMyCat · 12-22-2006, 08:36 PM

OK here is mine....

Eggciting Ring!!

jstarbright · 12-22-2006, 08:37 PM

OK I'm back and no laughing !! I just couldn't go to bed before making my card, lol. And I'm ready for the next VSN challenge......oh this isn't VSN. But I got my card done in the 45 minute limit,lol. Thanks for a fun, fun sample Karen and for helping to send some friendship Judy's way.
Here is my card :

raduse · 12-22-2006, 08:39 PM

Now that is one funky bathroom!! Wouldn't put it in my house, but definitely on a card!

Now what, to do.....

WonkaIsMyCat · 12-22-2006, 08:47 PM

Ok here is my card WITHOUT THE RING. The first one just does not do it justice...because I LOVE THE WAY THIS CARD TURNED OUT.....

GramCandy · 12-22-2006, 09:57 PM

Oh wow! So many colors. Not sure how to tackle this one. Might
have to go sleep on it for some ideas.

GramCandy · 12-22-2006, 11:23 PM

So much for sleeping....I do wish I had square pegs, but polka dot blocks comes close. Fun colors to work with.

dpierstamper · 12-23-2006, 06:19 AM

there is a reason I didn't do well during the 80's as I just don't mix colors like that. Even with a sample pallete I found myself lacking the talent to get the right clash vs. balance going.
By far not my favorite card but I will send to an unspecting victim. Until I add the ribbon and sentiment, I was really thinking of pitching it into the garbage.

RETRO NIGHTMARE!

This is my first IC - love it!! I used a wheel that has been collecting dust for a llooonnnggg time. Thanks for the challenge, Karen!

bensarmom · 12-23-2006, 09:41 AM

Can't get pictures to show up here. Once I load them it says it can't find the picture. I'll try again later. Something's wonky in the gallery.

bensarmom · 12-23-2006, 09:59 AM

Here's my second attempt at loading these cards.
Bright Birthday
Square Birthday

sherristampsalot · 12-23-2006, 10:07 AM

Rox71 · 12-23-2006, 03:16 PM

pattyb · 12-23-2006, 06:51 PM

Karen, this is not my normal style, but if I can ever find my stamping table again I can't wait to try it! The things you come up with always make me think outside my normal "box."

badmom66666 · 12-23-2006, 06:58 PM

Broke down and did one!

LittleSeaOtter · 12-23-2006, 09:38 PM

My first ever inspiration challenge.
