View Submissions

Please use the IC73 keyword when uploading your card (no space b/n IC and the challenge number).

There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping! View the attached image. You may be inspired to recreate the piece - but that isn't necessary...get your inspiration from the colors, layout, or 'theme'. Don't worry - no card is 'wrong'!

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.

sleepyinseattle · 04-27-2007, 08:57 PM

Great inspiration piece, Karen. I wonder what the price tag is on these babies!

lacyquilter · 04-27-2007, 09:47 PM

Oh, what a fun shoe! I need some of those! I'll have to see what I can come up with, but it's almost 1:00 a.m., so I really think I should go to bed now.

You know, to accessorize the shoe (and since there is only one shoe, one MUST have two purses)

toknighton · 04-27-2007, 10:26 PM

k, am home from a far-away (60 miles round trip) workshop that isn't even a party yet...sheesh! I need some FUN stamping to make me feel better...will think on this and post tomorrow! Thanks Karen!

rhondag · 04-27-2007, 10:34 PM

I had to add bordering blue, but the colors were inspirational

Clownmom · 04-28-2007, 03:29 AM

I've got a full day today -- Girls' Day with my friend: stamping, dinner, movie! So I just had time to do a quick one, but I like the way it came out. Now to have breakfast and vacuum before my friend gets here. I'll check back later for everyone's cards! Happy Saturday, all!

Vicky Gould · 04-28-2007, 03:40 AM

No offense, Karen, but that shoe reminds me of why I don't mind getting old!!! However, it sure was a fun challenge to come up with something other than camoflage and I enjoyed it. Thanks for the early posting!

The Right Shoe

SmilynStef · 04-28-2007, 05:12 AM

Here's my take on the sneaker.

Karen Stamps! · 04-28-2007, 05:28 AM

Neat challenge Karen! Not everyone likes that sneaker, but to me it looks like what Basic Grey paper would look like if it were shoes. I've ordered some BG paper but it hasn't come yet, so I'll have to think of something else for the inspiration. But first I have some work to do so I can't play yet. Thanks for giving me something more interesting to think about in the back of my mind than the presentation I have to write!

Karen Stamps! · 04-28-2007, 05:32 AM

Just thought I'd procrastinate from working on my presentation and satisfy my curiosity about these sneakers. They are $175 (!) and here's the blurb about Paul Smith, the designer:

Expect the Unexpected: About Paul Smith
His philosophy—"Expect the unexpected"—has propelled this self-taught British designer to knighthood and a top spot in the design world. His signature style is classic with a twist, often infused with a very British sense of humor.

So these shoes have a very British sense of humour? Must be Edina Monsoon humour....

ambouth · 04-28-2007, 05:35 AM

Too cool!! Gonna play later this morning after I drop DD off at the library...

amylynnlindberg · 04-28-2007, 05:36 AM

Here's my first inspiration challenge:

summerthyme64 · 04-28-2007, 05:56 AM

That is SO funky!!!! Will try to play today!!!!!

Clownmom · 04-28-2007, 06:01 AM

Got my work done before my girlfriend got here, so I was able to check out today's creations. Lots of good ideas from that inspiration. Those are the funkiest sneakers I've ever seen. My boss would definitely wear them. She's a little funky herself. And she'd pay the $175!!!
