Arrow IC160 ~ MacKenzie-Childs {12-27-08}

Inspiration Challenge 160 ~ Mackenzie-Childs

This week’s inspiration was suggested by Anne Ryan, who says that MacKenzie-Childs is her favorite store … she loves all of their colorful creations, and I did too. There is so much great inspiration to choose from. I’ve uploaded three images from the store & linked to the piece that inspired my card, but feel free to choose any item from MacKenzie-Childs for inspiration … just make sure you provide a link.

Use the keyword: IC60 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Sledding Snow Bear inspired by Snow Bear Enamel Platter

IC160 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). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

This was really a great challenge. I love the pink and blues in the honeymoon series with the flowers. http://www.mackenzie-childs.com/prod.../&page=0&vao=0

Here is the one I chose to make with the new stamp set I received today from Our Craft Lounge

Spring Thanks

OHH! YES! YES! and YES AGAIN!
Great choice!
I have been a fan of MacKenzie Childs for years!
I love the whimsical feel you get with this artwork....great fix for the wintertime blues!
I agree with Faith..may have to shop a bit!

I may not be able to play until later today..but sure plan on it...I actually was inspired by MacKenzie Childs work when I paint a few bird houses recently!
Happy New Year Everyone!

Here is my Narcissus. I'd like to try again when I am not feeling quite so woozy headed, maybe then I could get closer to what I was aiming at.

I have been way busy with the holidays and a sick MIL in Texas. It has come to settle down for now, maybe I'll get to play these challenges. I hope everyone has had a nice holiday.
