Arrow IC143 ~ Hotel Fox {08-30-08}

Inspiration Challenge 143 ~ Hotel Fox

This week’s inspiration is an eclectic lifestyle hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark – the Hotel Fox. The hotel’s 61 rooms were designed by 21 different artists from around the globe. Each room is wonderfully unique.

I have uploaded three very different rooms, but feel free to use any of the Fox Hotel rooms for your inspiration. Make sure you provide the room number you used as inspiration (I'm not able to find a way to link to the specific rooms), and please make something new for the challenge.

Use the keyword: IC143 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and don't forget to put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Three Graces

IC143 Gallery

How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the rooms ~ 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.

what a great idea
thanks for the challenge

I used room 306 Pico Pico from Hotel Fox as a color inspiration http://www.hotelfox.dk/

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=84523

couldn't get much simpler, but they might make nice note card sets.

Wow, I've never seen anything like this. These rooms are awesome! I just looked at all on the website and it makes me want to go to Denmark today. I also can't believe the rates- Hope to get to play today. Super challenge opportunity.

I attached the inpsiration photo and also put directions for finding it on the site in my description.
The address from the room goes back to the home page.
I agree with Dara, might find it hard to sleep in some of those rooms!

Thanks for the challenge Stef, lots of interesting inspiration!
