IC170 ~ Spunky Sprout {03-07-09}

[SmilynStef]

Inspiration Challenge 170 ~ Spunky Sprout

This week’s inspiration comes from a website filled with all sorts of modern, unique and colorful products for kids with fabulous style … and their parents ~ Spunky Sprout.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites from the website … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from Spunky Sprout for your inspiration … just provide a link, so we can all see what inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC170 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Hip Hip Hooray Animals

IC170 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 fun site. Too bad all my kids are grown. It's well after midnight, but I had to make a card before calling it a day. I chose the Blue Jay Canvas Wall Art the inspiration for my Spunky Sprout Bird.

[okstamper]

Well, I decided to make a simple card called "Fingertip Frogs". I hope you like it. It was really easy and thats what I needed. Now, I need to get some sleep to get rid of this head cold or allergies. I hope you like it. Thanks again Stef for posting early.
