Arrow IC120 ~ Seaside Charm Bracelet {03-22-08}

Inspiration Challenge 120 ~ Seaside Charm Bracelet

Since I think last week’s bold bright colors scared a few of you away, I thought I’d go with something softer this week.

I love how this Seaside Charm Bracelet from Teka and Zoe Jewelry combines so many wonderful, delicate treasures on its shiny silver links … so many possibilities for inspiration.

Make sure you use the keyword: IC120 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card.

My sample ~ Under the Sea

IC120 Gallery

How to Play ~ View the attached image. You may be inspired to recreate the piece ~ 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). Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

I don't have any fish stamps (Life's a Breeze and the wheel (especially since the wheel will be free) are on my April order ), but I love those colors, so it should be do-able!

Thanks Stef!

Phooey!
I just packed all my goodies up and I'm snug in bed - guess I'll just have to dream in shades of blues and greens and join you in the morning!

Here's my take on this challenge. I was inspired by the colors and the dangling of the charm bracelet.

Dangling in the seabreeze

Okay, so I didn't go to bed. I had every intention, when I remembered these buttons I bought forever ago and thought how much they resembled the bracelet's charms.

Voila. My card. I could use some sea air right about now {cough, cough}.

Every Day is a Gift

Thanks for looking!

Stef, thanks for posting early. Although I was going to go to bed, once I saw the bracelet, I just had to create something. I love that bracelet and wish someone would put it into my Easter basket. ; )

Please take a look at my card and let me know what you think!
