IC132 ~ Acacia {06-14-08}
Inspiration Challenge 132 ~ Acacia
I love getting inspiration from catalogs I receive in the mail. This week’s inspiration comes from one of my favorites – Acacia – which describes itself as providing beautiful, natural products that relax and rejuvenate; products for body, spirit and home, for inspiration, well-being and for a more balanced and healthy life.
I chose three of my favorite images ( Botanical Metal Wall Art; Dots Vase; and Suzani Lily Coverlet & Sham), but feel free to be inspired by anything from their catalog … just make sure you provide a link to your inspiration when you upload. Also, please make something new for the challenge.
Use the keyword: IC132 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
My sample ~ Create
IC132 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. 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.

It's 2:30 in the morning, and I should be sleeping -- but I'm down here stamping. Eek! Beautiful inspirations this week. Here's my card, inspired by the bedding -- http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...6428?cat=10576
Maybe now I can sleep. |

Hi, everyone! Well, this was a great challenge...I went with the BED and the color combo....And, well, it was really funny, because the entire thing inspired me to go in a TOTALLY different direction from what I had originally planned...I had FLOURISHES galore and ended up with coffee! Go figure, huh? LOL!
Here's today's submission:
