Default IC134 ~ State Fair Bedding {6-28-08}

I'm thrilled to be filling in for Stephanie this week! I hope you all have as much fun doing this challenge as I have getting ready for it, and I can't wait to see what you create!

The challenge today is to be inspired by this gorgeous State Fair bedding by Garnet Hill. Heck, use the whole photo, if you see something else there that inspires you! If you click the link you can zoom in on the photo - you won't want to miss all the great details in the many fabrics they've used. ETA: Thanks to bensarmom for pointing out that the link didn't work. Sorry about that, and I think I've fixed it - at least it works for me!

My sample:

Sweet and Shabby

IC134 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.

Wow. I can't wait to play this one and I hope I can. I'm on mandatory call this weekend, which means I absolutely and positively have to work a mandatory 24 hours, and I really should be in bed right now. My upstairs AC got fixed today though. Yay! I can't wait to see what y'all made and I'm sorry that I'll be late on comments. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for filling in this week Lori, and TFL!!

(btw, it is the second set of 50, for a total of 100, and I will do almost anything to avoid that kind of repetitve work! ugh!)

Awesome Lori! And your sample is amazing!
I can't play today b/c I have a stamp camp and all of my stuff is already packed up for it, but geeze! I just looked in the IC134 gallery and just got to say:
YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Holy cow those cards are phenominal today! Is that much beauty even allowed in one gallery? Crazy.

Have a great day!

Lori, thanks for filling in this week. I love that bedroom. I want it for my bedroom. Looks so comfy and inviting. I will have to wait to play. Need to get to the store to get ingredients for my mom's birthday cake. We'll celebrating tonight. I'll be back later to upload my creation. Oh, and I like your blog. I added it to my favorites. Have a super Saturday!!
