Arrow IC166 ~ hunkydoryhome {02-07-09}

Inspiration Challenge 166 ~ hunkydoryhome

A huge thank you to Anne for hosting last week’s challenge.

This week’s inspiration challenge comes from a great little website featuring lots of fun designs ~ hunkydoryhome.

I have uploaded three images, but feel free to use any product from their website for your inspiration. Make sure you link us up to the item that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC166 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Love Birds

IC166 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.

What a great, fun place to go. I really likes some of the wall decals so that is what I used for the inspiration.

Heres mine:

More haste less speed - I clicked straight on the HunkyDory link and then spent AGES trying to find which section of the site the lovely chickens were on. And now I see you had posted them up - oh well...
Here are my Funky Chicken gift tags. I really wanted to incorporate the shape of those cute doorstops. Thanks so much Stef, and I'll pay more attention next time, LOL.

Here's my submission for the day. It's supposed to be a twisted spoof of the fact that all of the trees here are destroyed and/or down here after the ice storm. I hope you like it. I combined several challenges here. My inspiration for this card was the Wooden Owl Journal, which sorta makes the spoof even more twisted - trees, wood, get it? Or am I just sleep deprived and shell shocked? I didn't realize the name of my inspiration until I was posting this.

Hoot! There's No Trees!

What a great site, Stef. I was drawn to the cherries on the pillow and the lampshade, so that's where I started. Here is my Cherry Birthday.
